    Pasadena Motors - Bill Kellas Ford

    Doug, Nate or others, I just got the actual post card from the seller in the mail today. It is indeed at 101 S. Arroya Pkwy. I can tell from the postcard that there is an ice skating rink next to it (that is the domed building behind the dealership in the picture). Does the ice rink jog any...

    Oil Sending Unit

    That is your oil pressure sending unit, and yes it should have the oil gauge wire hooked up to it. Casey

    Cobra air cleaner

    Filters - Branda has them, but they are period correct and I think expensive. He likely has the inexpensive ones too. Many of my other mustang part sources have them. Usually $35ish. Rubber Gasket - good idea. I dont have that, mostly because I dont have the clearance. Depends on the...

    Cobra air cleaner

    You have it. That is the bracket. My shop welded an extra brace across the top to "strenghthen" it, since as you tighten it down, it obviously begins to bend. There is some story behind the two wing nut vs one wing nut versions. I prefer the two wing nut version as it was the original...

    The Blueprint Archives

    I just wanted to let the GTCS family know what kind of stuff we were able to get and what you can expect in Paul's book. We hit the motherload. I just have fun with this stuff and would usually not bring it up, but wanted people to get a taste of some of the major stuff Paul's book is going to...

    Cobra air cleaner

    The brace is an upside down "U" with a whole drilled in the middle of the bottom of the "U". It is about 1 inch wide. Without the top on, you mount the upside down "U" brace over the center screw for an typical air cleaner of your carb. That holds the bottom in place, then you screw the top...

    The Blueprint Archives

    Here is the list of what I was able to assemble from the incredible find. This is over 50 original documents of blueprints (some 90 inches long!) and releases. I have sent them to Paul for the book. As you can see, there is an AMAZING amount of information here, which will make the GT/CS...

    Pasadena Motors - Bill Kellas Ford

    For years I have searched for any Pasadena Motors stuff because that is where my GTCS was sold. Mostly looking for license plate frame. Many of you have helped me. They were on 101 Arroya Parkway in Pasadena. I have been able to find nothing about them. I just stumbled across this postcard...

    Rear 1/4 side reflectors

    There have been other posts on this, and though no one knows for sure, the general concensus was mid-February. That is for the San Jose cars. Not sure if that holds true for other factories. Obviously it was a demand of supply, and when the inset quarter panels ran out, they switched over to...

    Final License Frames - GTCS & HCS

    OK - I have completely run out of GT/CS. However, I have had a few requests for more GT/CS, so I am going to lay out the cash for another small run of 50. It will take them 6-8 weeks to make them. Remember these are the zinc metal - not the cheap stuff. Those who have bought them can attest...

    Pre-Knott's Saturday Meet & Greet

    I will do all I can to drive my GT/CS from Chicago to one event. April could still be dicey from midwest winter point of view, but should be doable. I will have to do some quick "breaking-in" on that 347 stroker before the long haul. (fortunately it was broken-in some on the stand). Casey

    Somebody Sniped Me - Blueprints!

    I know the buyer paid already and communicated with the seller, but the buyer is not returning any of my emails.....not sure why.... A "no thanks" would suffice as a courtesy response. I have had several Shelby and Cougar people contact me about the ones I already bought, and I responded to...

    Somebody Sniped Me - Blueprints!

    The seller and I have great email relationship after I have bought so much from him. He actually sent me an email after the auction saying he felt really bad for me and was sending me a copy no charge!! I really appreciate him for doing that, and that is how I like to do business - helping...

    Rich - already thought of that and am awaiting a response. Thanks! Casey

    Somebody Sniped Me - Blueprints!

    Just as a note - I am not mad at whoever might have bought this. I am surprised - but not mad. I would just like to get the original from them to keep the original collection complete in one place. As Paul knows, I have already spent over $1500 on all the others - so, this only one that sold...

    Somebody Sniped Me - Blueprints!

    As I have been informing you all, I have been able to assemble nearly 50 original documents for the GT/CS from the eBay auctions, and on-the-side-deals with the seller. I had been successfull getting everything with Jason's help with the snipe program and had already sent a tube of prints and...

    2007-08 GT/CS Registry?

    As a note, you actually dont "save as" pdf. Normally you go to the "file print" option and it will offer you a list of your printer(s) or Adobe pdf. When you choose the pdf option, it then asks you where you want to save it - then you treat it as a normal file. So, pdf is ironically a "print"...

    CS on Psych

    I was watching a rerun of Psych last night and saw a 68 California Special. The episode is "Zero to murder in 60 seconds". The CS is at the very end and it is THE car they find the drugs hidden in. I have watched the episode two times and missed it the first time. It is a blue "tricked out"...
