Randy, I sent you a PM, thanks. Danny

I do not own a GT/CS and therefore haven't purchased or used the stripe kits that are available. It would not surprise me if some of them are not accurate. I would suggest getting forum members input about where to buy stripe kits and who offers the best kit. Of course price may be a factor...

I have owned numerous J-code GT's and all of them had the 9 inch, but I have also observed that non-GT J-codes had the 8 inch. Currently I am convinced that all the 1968 GT's were equipped with 9 inch regardless of engine. Danny

I recently subscribed to a newspaper archieve website and was messing around tonight. I found a April 10, 1968 ad in the Monclair Tribune that listed two GT/CS Mustangs at Skycrest Ford. One was Candyapple Red which retailed for $3462.70 sale price $2959. The other was Lime Gold which...

Thanks everyone for your replies; I did order a reproduction decal and although all the wording, idle RPM settings are correct, the font is different and IMO low quality. I am going to re-contact ECS to inquire about a higher quality more accurate reproduction. Danny

Bob G., You sent me a PM, but your setting will not accept my reply. Will you change your setting or forward me an e-mail address. Danny

Randy, You can buy a used traction loc or buy a new one, you'll need new bearings and races. If you buy a used unit it will likely need rebuilt, so you may be better off buying a new unit. Although rebuilding the unit is not difficult. Changes the gears is also not difficult but some special...

Black hood stripes were the only color offered in '68 from the factory, and being a purist I would do black. There was a 68-1/2 Cobra Jet coupe featured in MM years ago; it was wimbleton white w/ red interior and had a black vinyl top. The car had red C-stripes and the black CJ hood stripe and...

I'll be over in a bit, how late will you be up tonight???:wink: Danny

Ron, Thanks for posting your picture, in addition to the # being different the RPM settings are also different. Although you are correct that most Judges would not notice, I am one of those "anal concourse guys" and prefer to get everything "right". Thanks again for your help/input. Upon...

Ron, Is it identical to the one Scott posted a picture of? Will you post a picture or scan of the Scott Drake offering? I could not find it through NPD or Va. Classic Mustang. I am doing a concours rebuild and detailing of a J-code motor and want everything correct. Thanks in advance...

I am trying to confirm the emiison decal # for the 302-4V J-code motor. This is the decal usually found on the valve cover next to the oil fill cap. I have two and both are C8AE-9C485-B. This decal is not currently being reproduced so I am looking to ensure there are no variations to the...

Uniroyal offers the Tiger Paw in a WSW, it's not real thin but may be close to what you are looking for. http://www.uniroyal.com/specs/tiger-paw-as-6000/1019.html Danny

I saw this on EBAY, it might interest someone here. The June 1968 Sports Car Graphic has a short intro of the California Special...

In 1968 FoMoCo offered a 390-4V engine (Z-code) in other car lines; in the Mustang, Cougar, Fairlane, the 390-4V engine had different heads, exhaust manifolds, intake, Holley carb, cam and maybe a few other pieces. I am assuming that in an attempt to minimize confusion about servicing these 2...

I don't think I have missed an Anniversary show yet; but don't think I will be going to Birmingham. The MCA doesn't judge the cars in the same manner as other National and Grand National Shows and therfore doesn't give you credit toward their grill medallion. So, why tow my car that far for...

I don't think this was a poor design on Ford's behalf. The gas nozzles from the 60's had a different radius bend in them. The "new" unleaded nozzles do not have the same bend or diameter of the older leaded gas nozzles. Yes, it's a PIA for every Mustang owner. Danny

Neil, I'm interested, PM sent. Danny

Scott, Thanks for the plug! I think it is great that you took an this job and brought another fine product to the market. I hope it sells we for you. I can't wait to get mine, you can rest assured they will be on the cars within 10 minutes of receiving them. The NOS one will now be safely...
