    Front suspension details?

    Mike, I sent you a message before reading the updates. I used a one inch brush and testors model paint for my stripes. The stripes were painted with the spring sitting upside down. I did not tape off the marks, I wanted it to appear "sloppy" not perfect. I also stuffed my springs with paper...

    Front suspension details?

    Mike, The springs should be semi-gloss black with stripes. The stripes differ between applications/options. For example my 390gt (fastback) with P/S and 4 spd. has one gold stripe and one yellow stripe. If you send me a message with eng., trans., and options I will try to look it up for you...

    Steering Wheel Restoration

    I bought a steering wheel at a swap meet with the exact same leather cover and removed it. I later heard something about this being a dealer option and did find it listed "somewhere". I will try to find it again. I kept the cover, it is not in bad shape all things considered.

    '68 GT 390 4-Speed Convertible on eBay

    I had him email some additional photos of the undercarriage the first time it was listed and clearly saw some rust issues. Anyone who is interested needs to know it needs a complete resto. It appears the guy is being honest with his updates.

    There are a few Ford and Mercury Dealership License plate frames for sale on EBAY right now. I typed in Ford Dealership in the search engine and they came up. Sorry, I don't know how to do the hyper-links. I hope this helps someone on the site. I am still looking for one from Lutz Ford in...

    Magazines

    IMO Mustang Monthly is the leader, Mustang and Fords is also good, of course you have the MCA publication Mustang Times. I also subscribe to Musclecar Enthusiast which covers all makes and models.

    What should I do

    Chuck, Is your L-78 stock or modified? I agree with the majority of the posts here, do what you like, while realizing that a future owner may want to change things back. I like "original" and think the bench seat would be something people would take notice to. With the X-code, bench seat...

    '68 GT 390 4-Speed Convertible on eBay

    I think the guy bumped his head with his Buy it Now price. Nice car, nice options but 45K in my book was way too much. The car was not the original color, needed floor pan patches. Overall it was a nice driver, but over priced. Just my .02

    Need Questions for a Milpitas Ford Worker Interview

    Paul, I would start with very general questions like: what parts of the plant did he work in? What did he do? and build on that. I had the pleasure of sitting in on a seminar at the Carlisle Boss Re-Union and a gentleman there was a suspension engineer and spoke very clearly on the different...

    vent windows

    For my concourse restoration I drilled out the rivets and sent the frames to the chrome shop, and polished the stainless steel. It was dificult to get the rivets back into the channel, but I was able to do it. The rivets did not match and it wasn't a perfect job, but the rivets are covered...

    Saturday morning PCV system installation pictures

    Jason, The engine and PCV system look good, and although I did not study the pictures it looks like mine. Let me start by saying I KNOW NOTHING about the Canadian non emissions cars. I do, however, remember seeing that the snorkle listed in the Master Parts Catalog was different than the US...
