    F-150 EcoBoost?

    I have heard nothing but great things about the f-150 eco-boosts. I have a buddy whom is running a larger exhaust and a CAI and is not only acheiving better HP numbers, but overall better fuel MPG (he says his average is 22-23 mpg) On highway. I would have got one but decided on buying a new...

    Trunk weatherstrip

    Have you adjusted your latch down some more(the one in the trunk held by three bolts i mean)? And/or fiddled with the hinges and moved the around to line up? It isn't so agressive that it is deforming the decklid? I have experienced the similar fate on the 67 and if I remember correctly it just...

    1968 Wheels

    Its your car. If you prefer them than I say put em on. Wheels are such an easy thing to change, if you are that worried about correctness have an extra set on hand of "correct" caps or ss wheels. Besides that, 10 spokes look awesome on cals...afterall the gt/cs was born from a Shelby...

    For Sale 68 GT/CS Model Kit on ebay

    I have been doing model cars since I was a kid (recently just finished an Enzo Ferrari that I actually installed fuel lines, brake lines, carpet etc in) and it's super easy to take 1200 grit and sand down unwanted raised "emblems" on these cars. Hell I have even custom made parts that are not...

    Lucas fog lights

    There are two types of covers that are period correct. The ones shown above are period correct, while the other type that are acceptable are the 'sight lens' offset to the right, with Lucas in blue on the lower left.

    Lucas fog lights

    To be correct, they should just say "England" on them. Driving lights are obviously "clear" and the correct fog variant, should have the lines within the glass. Cheers to you on the J-4 speed btw -- almost sister cars! :smile:

    R= Cal special+Shelby+428 CJ guys... just FYI. He CLEARLY is missing the monster 428 in there and idiotically put a 429 in there, easy fix tho really. You guys have much to learn. You could learn a thing or two from this gent.

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    ^^ I like these tires as well. Great raised lettering, and decently sticky tire. The biggest downside, are they wear fast.
