Arlie, your Stang is BEAU-TI-FULL!! I love it and it will turn many heads and is unique in its own way!! Rob Hey Sheryl, are you ready to install that carb yet?? You picked up one great looking GT/CS and it looks way original and unmolested!! Riob

Dave, The turn signal switch is prone to failure as it was designed to support only two rear taillights and not six. The LED lights are much brighter and take a lot less draw and preserve your turn signal switch. A win/win all he way around. You can even install them in your front turn signal...

John and Sheryl, If I had your money I would burn mine!! Will you adopt me?? I can turn a mean wrench!! Tried to get Neil to adopt me, but he is already my Dad!! Rob

Repaint that Stang! Not a rust fan.... Rob

It sure is! We have seen this more than a few time! Rob

Oh my god you need to let me tune your car and give you some lessons on "side stepping" the clutch at about 4,000 rpm!!! You will envelope that "fureign" piece of doo doo in so much tire smoke he will not know where you went or what is up or down!! Rob

Still a month or two away. Lots of machining to do. I will keep all of you posted. Rob

All, I have a British Fine Thread tap and die now. Perfect fit to the Lucas Fog Lamp threads. I have sourced 3/4 hex stock to make exact replicas of the Lucas light nuts. I have 1/ 1/8 round stock and will make perfect copies of the stanchions. The square washers that reinforce the grill and...

Bruce, Great Point! I think we need to see some close up pictures of the trunk lid. Rob

We may have misled you. If you provide the complete VIN number I have seen Arlie pony up for a standard Marti report, but you will not lose much to do it yourself. They are not that expensive and it "may" reveal that it is a GT/CS. With its very early VIN number it almost certainly is a...

Perfect approach and you will thank yourself for the extra effort to do it!! Rob

Kinda is what I talked about. Grounds to each socket is the hot ticket. The pot metal to socket "ground" is iffy at best. You need to ground the socket housing of each socket to ensure perfect grounds and bright lights. Rob

Sheryl, I do not see them either! If I get another numbers correct 390 carb "I won't be fooled again"!! Rob

Dave, Are you referring to the tail light sockets? The ground for the taillights is attached to the frame work that surrounds the gas filler pipe inside the trunk. It is on the right side of this frame work about 6 inches down from the trunk opening lip. These cars are notorious for poor...

Steve, I think you are correct and a great observation of the parts as they were produced. Rob

Scott, This will certainly start some interesting discussion. It has been stated that the first 14 GT/CS cars had "handmade California Special Scripts". The 14 cars that were at the debut of the cars on February 15th 1968 were very loaded optioned cars. These cars would IMO never had been...

How cool is that!!!!!! A boosted 4 barrel 6 shooter. Bet it makes tons of power and the block and cranks are nearly bomb proof!! Back in the day Ak Miller was a big Ford 6 builder. I have seen one of his motors with six motorcycle carbs on it!! Way cool!! Rob

Dan, Interesting. Eric's and Sheryl's carb have the screw slots. Just when you think you see a pattern..... The fact that you have the plugs ensures me that your carbs throttle plate is original. This area on later carbs is not drilled. This is cool stuff! Rob

Sheryl, Gem's carb is in the mail! I want to talk with you before you put it on! I am very confident that your car will love it!! Rob

Sheryl, I need a close up of the "front" studs that hold your car to the manifold. You took pics of the back ones. Low enough to see the throttle plate about 1 inch in from the stud itself. You can see the angle on the pics I took of your carb for Gem which will ship out to you tomorrow!! Rob
