    1968 Need Feedback on Restoration Plans - Be Gentle

    ...I always like these "what would make everyone happy" threads. They're always popular with a lot of individuals who showcase what makes themselves happy (and with the best of ideas). My point is - don't discount your own ideas or be shy about sharing them on a future thread of like with...

    ...Always amazed at how they want the rest of us to forget THAT little piece of history... Thanks from me too, Jon!

    ...Arlie, he's only supplying Newitt with the drama he needs to feel good about himself... 'Nothing new about that... Paul's response was classic and predictable: PMN post: > ...but JBart! Don't talk about those guys, or it will "empower" them! > SHHH!!!! You'll stir up the Ghost Town over...

    . anti-freeze leak

    Good point! See if the fan is "clunky" loose, but that usually drips ahead of the oilpan, No??

    1968 Good news / Bad news from the 2011 Recognition Guide

    Thanks Nate, but I've always had laminated Marti reports, polite dialog with admirers and the "California Special Way of Life" book which is more in line with what we do at shows. To each their own... I had long ago requested to be excluded from the new book because of the "SAAC /CS...

    . anti-freeze leak

    ...Possible seepage from any of the radiator hoses or thermo housing if not a freeze plug. I had a leaky thermostat gasket that ran coolant down the front of the block and along the oilpan flange for a ways before dripping. Roll up & place some tissue around suspected areas and see what...

    1968 Good news / Bad news from the 2011 Recognition Guide

    ...Thanks Amy, but I'm not concerned about my name being in the book as none of my other cars are are listed properly either. I just thought it appropriate to correct the fact "here" that it's not a 'J' HCS...

    ...One of my S codes: 8R01S169388 is also incorrectly listed as a J code HCS and "owner unknown". The car is not an HCS, so Bob Teets may want to remove it from his registry if the information came from him (as the book states). The car has a Marti and original door & dash tags. I bought it...

    1968 Just recieved my Marti report

    ...Interesting piece of history that should at least be part of your documentation. I see this goes back to 2003 with you... Definitely keep old photos and testimony, but as far as original (expensive) parts verses quality re-pop, I personally don't think it should affect the completed value...

    ...Hmm, X code coupe. Neat! Perfect start for a GH transformation... 'Studied and admired Shelby's for many years, but by the time I could consider owning one, the practicality of driving and getting the most out of the real thing had long passed. Enter the Cal Specials... but to me, this...

    ...I've always loved the GH and wished Ford went the extra step of adding the Shelby front end to the CS. I can understand why they didn't, but it would've been great if they did...
