    428 Cobra Jet Exhaust

    I put some information on original exhaust in a different post, and have copied it here with some pictures for anyone interested in reading it. I became motivated to write something here after seeing Bob Teets 428 HCS at Knott Berry Farm a couple of weeks ago and was surprised when I saw that...

    Found out another cool fact about one of the 428 CS's

    John, You're welcome. I'm having some starter delay gaskets made. The originals haven't weathered very well on many original delays. Let me know if you need one. Scott

    Found out another cool fact about one of the 428 CS's

    John, I’m not sure what you are thinking of doing for exhaust since yours no longer has the original, but here are my thoughts for you consideration. Background: The exhaust for your car is specific to Cobra Jet cars and was not used on any other 1968 Mustang except for GT500KRs. The entire...

    Found out another cool fact about one of the 428 CS's

    John, The engine color is Ford Corporate Blue. However, they varied from car to car and plant to plant. I've found the best thing to do is match the paint off of an existing engine part if you have one. The bucket, lid, snorkle, or S-tube work well. The engines were painted heaviest on the...

    I think I've been scolded. Guess I'll put myself in time-out.

    Found out another cool fact about one of the 428 CS's

    I think I put some pictures in a different post a while ago. I could put some in the gallery (when I figure out how to) of the CS. Not sure anyone would care about the others.

    Found out another cool fact about one of the 428 CS's

    John, Just curious about the exhaust that is on the car. Is it still original? I just went through trying to put together an original system for a CJ. Hopefully you still have yours, but if you don't I may be able to round up some parts for you if you are interested. Scott

    Found out another cool fact about one of the 428 CS's

    Well this is an interesting discussion. What is a 1968.5 CJ GT/CS worth? I agree with Jason on this one. Don't get me wrong. I'd pay big money for just such a car. I'd love to have one. But I'm pretty sure that many people are going to look at it as a CJ coupe, and not give much credit to...

    Floorpan Detailing Pictures

    I think Jason posted some pictures of the underside of 1 or 2 unrestored 1968 Mustangs, but I can't find them. Anybody remember what thread they were posted under? Jason? Thanks Scott

    2006 Fabulous Fords Forever show - Who's going?

    I'll be at the show on Sunday, but not bringing my CS. Looking forward to meeting all of you. I'm bringing my restorer from Ohio so I can educate him on GT/CSs. He's working on a 1968.5 CJ convertible right now and it has a rear quarter that has been replaced with a CS quarter panel. You can...

    Ford Spring Swap Meet in Columbus

    Don, I should have guessed you were there. Bob Perkins got me a wrist band so I was there on Friday and early Saturday before the crowds. But I'll remember you for the fall meet. It sure was nice walking around there today with the crowds thinned out. Did you hear anything about someone...
