    . Triple "B's" Garage

    It has been a busier than normal summer. The 1966 ex race car is done and it is a kick in the butt. Lumpy Erson mechanical cam from the 70's and it has a GT exhaust treatment out the back. 5 speed is a hoot and it is a very strong engine. How does this look!!! I have other stories to tell!!

    1968 Help Selling this 68

    Connie, I live in Bremerton and bring cars back from the dead. This is my opinion and would need to be confirmed by looking at it, but you car could be put back on the road as is for the cost of an engine, radiator and some thorough cleaning. Headliner will need the windshield and rear window...

    Scott is all over it as usual! My right mirror is not remotely controlled. I love them and think they look great on the earlier Mustangs. Rob

    1968 1968 rear defogger

    My GNS came with this option from the factory. It actually worked quite well on a rainy Northwest Washington day. Looks real cool next to the fog light switch. Rob

    1968 Finishing touches... need advice on several items

    First you should start with new clips. Second you need to fit each clip to the door panel just barely holding it on the panel. Do not put it completely on the panel. Most of them install towards the square end of the hole in the panel, but not all of them. Hold the panel up to the door and...

    Wanted Wanted 1968 rear defogger switch

    My car had both the fog and the defogger switch and option. I will see it this weekend. As I remember they were very similar. In fact, I replaced the fog light switch and the new owner still has the original fog light switch. Rob

    . Quarter Window Regulator back on Conv

    Tom, Hope you can find someone with attention to detail. The installation is bad enough, but the adjustment is equally trying. The installer will need your top up and the front windows in the up position. Sometimes both the front and back window need to be adjusted simultaneously to get them...

    1968 Doug is recovering nicely

    30 pounds of hot idle oil pressure with 10/30 is the sign of a very solid engine. The pressure should raise to about 40 or 45 pounds at highway speed. That would be close to the mid mark on a Ford oil pressure gauge of that era. At cold idle and highway speeds it will show a bit higher. I...

    Something for Rob

    Bro, I have seen them as a subscriber to Hot rod, but wow wow wow!! That would be so cool on my 460 Windsor engine!!! I talked to the Ford Performance tech line on another subject and he told me that with some mild porting on current "Z" heads I could get another 50 HP out of my motor with no...

    1968 Gas Cap leaking

    I absolutely love my inside gas fill solution. No more shutting off as you fill your tank. No more spilling. Looks totally stock with the pop open as a fake that is blanked off. Easy to convert back to stock, so the next owner can squat on their knees and listen to the gurgle sound to ensure...

    I know that it sounds lame, but I tightened mine up with a few wraps of electrical tape around the hub of the hubcap that fits into the wheel. Rob
