I love the new GT/CS, especially the convertibles. It's a factory limited edition between the GT and the Shelby - sorta like the 68. The only factory change I would have liked would be a duck tail spoiler (and the brighter stripes that have been discussed here before). Casey

Ha! I finally got the REAL mouse. I know...some of you are going to give me a real hard time for this one, aren't you !!!!! Casey

1. I had a mouse "couple" set up home inside the back seat of my '55 chevy show car. The interior was all original. One day, I found red sticky liquid in the rear floor board (on a 150 the mat is rubber). I couldnt remember EVER letting my kids take Kool-aid or any drink in the car. I...

I don't mean to start an argument, but rather just some healthy conversation....Why are low number books important? Is it a dollar thing? I can understand asking for a particular number that is meaningful to someone. I collect autographed baseballs (over one hundred now), and I am happy to...

The derby was a blast. We won "best theme". It was not the fastest, but it looked great. The one thing that irked me was that our plan to stack pennys in a whole in the top (see below) was missed by the judges and they just quickly glued the lead bars on the bottom to bring it up to weight...

I hear the car is VERY fast. I have a poster of it in my garage. Casey

"Gold Rush" Sunlit Gold from California Casey

Here you go. We worked on it all week. Never done this before. Winston, my 7 year old says we did 50/50 of the work between dad and him. I would say he is about right. All was done with hand tools. The derby is this weekend - but now that we are done, I see it isnt so much about the derby...

OK. We have worked all weekend and decided to go with a Richard Petty Super Bird car look using the block of wood with the kit. My son and I did all the cutting by hand (no power tools). It is starting to look like something respectable. Of course, we spray painted it blue. I had to hand...

Thanks, ....off I go to the basement tmmrw to start the work. Joe, are you sure they dont allow superchargers on the pinewood derby cars? I hear it helps with HP - at least on a GT/CS. :smile: Casey

Hmm...falling profits, but show the revenue and margin driver for profits (Mustang). Something is backwards. And of course I did not miss the GT/CS. So....will ford start having China build their cars to decrease labor costs?

You guys make me feel like a pitiful dad. My son's race is next weekend and we havent even started his car :embarass: Did you guys use the kit given to you by the scouts, or did you make your own out of block wood. My wood working skills are a hammer, a saw and some nails. But, I can paint...

Count me in too. Casey

maybe this should be mentioned in Paul's next book. good recognition to make it into a mainstream (sorta) computer game. casey

David, 1. Awesome! You really impress the rest of the drag world with your GT/CS! We need a pic of this in Paul's book. 2. Whats up with the dogs and the lobster? 3. I have never seen the Shelby commercial! Really cool! At first I thought it was your girlfriend (maybe she is?). Casey

What did the vibration feel like? I have been working to solve a vibration mystery on my 66 for some time. I had the drive shaft rebalanced, and surely the U joints were checked then. But the problem did not go away. What I feel is a vibration in the steering wheel and floor board that is...

Great point! Simple and succinct. I think it solves many Shelby influence discussions! Casey

40% Shelby for 3 reasons: 1. Influence of Fred Goodell (Shelby Chief Engineer) on making it happen. He is on record as having said "Sure I did" when asked if he helped make the GT/CS happen - he said the GT/CS came from Little Red, and that he offered all the 68 shelby parts for Ford to make...

MCA Nationals in Springfield, IL. Indianapolis Speedway Mustang Show and Track Drive. Volo Carroll Shelby Show. And the local stuff. Casey

I read in Mustang Times that Ford issued a statement in response that the Mustang would remain a 2+2 rear axle car, and that the brand is far too valuable to change what it means. Whew! Casey
