I agree with Steve. DO NOT use fiberglass! Replace what you need, if that is the full pan do so, if not just use a small section. You might want to look a your cowl vents to ensure there is no rust there. Because if you have a leaky cowl your floor rust will return. If you do not belong to...

I like the Perfect binding.

Like everyone else I missed my fair share, I'll share another one... When my car was in the bodyshop (2000) I noticed a 70 Sportsroof on the side of the road it was complete but rough, obviously modified. I was not interested and drove by the car a hundred times before I finally stopped. The...

Arlie is correct a partial VIN is stamped on the block, mine is on the rear top of the block on the drivers side. The engine should also have an aluminum tag bolted on it this was used by mechanics to ID the engine. Casting numbers and date codes are cast into the block, heads, and nearly...

I have Marti Reports on 3 different cars: "STOCK" "FLEET" "LOCAL PROMOTION" I asked Kevin about the FLEET order in Nashville and he said it was for a customer who had a FLEET account such as a company that bought multiple vehicles throughout the year. Mine FLEET car was not a rental car. The...

I just checked my air cleaner and snorkle, my snorkle bends toward the rear of the car. The correct part # should be C8OZ-9A626-B. The Ford Master Parts Catalog further says it should be 9-1/2 inches. The ink stamped # often found on the snorkle is NOT the PART #, it is the CASTING # and is...

I remember about 2 years ago I was driving home from work when I noticed a 68 Fastback on the side of the road, going 55mph I take a quik look. GT grill and lights, faded paint and a hood scoop. Right away I discount the hood scoop, but before the next traffic light I convince myself to turn...

Bill, Casey is right, the personal statistic report is the report that breaks your car down to a "1 of...", I have only seen one report that was not 1 of 1. I think (personal opinion) Kevin Marti inserts or removes options until he gets that 1 of 1 car. I saw one report on a "plain jane"...

I ordered the Deluxe Report back in 1999 and earlier this year requested the "Personnal Statistic Report". 4 weeks later I received my report and an axle tag. Marti charged me $40 for the statisic report, so you can get that report separate. I have been pleased with everything I have ever...

Thanks for posting it, as Jason said Myth...Busted. You have a well optioned and rare car!!!

In previous Resto Roundups Bob Perkins has recommended Ditzler 13358 w/ 25-30% flattener. I used this paint w/ about 15% flattener and think my engine borders on too glossy (my opinion). He has also recommended the following paints: Red Primer Ditzler DP-74 Low Gloss Black DDL 9423 or Krylon...

I used TMI upholstery for both of my cars and I am pleased with the fit, texture, etc. I also used a Just Dashes dash pad. I replaced the seat foam on both cars the first time I used American Cushion Industries from National Parts Depot and the second car I used the seat foam from Just Dashes...

I am obviously missing something, Bob Perkins is clearly stating that the ROUND BASE antenna is CONCOURS correct and the Square Base is incorrect. Do you disagree?! It sounds like everyone here is arguing the round base antenna is correct. Is there anyone saying the square base antenna is...

Paul, I just read the December Resto Roundup and Bob Perkins IS saying the round base antenna is factory correct and the square base is incorrect. He also states: " Your question has been asked often over the years and is still a topic of discussion at MCA rules meetings." Also remember many...

Deestix, You have answered my question, thanks. Are you willing to post your Marti report or email a copy to me. I am not doubting you, but I would like to see one. It sounds like you have a nice CS, and certainly a rare one with the options you listed in the post. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

At this point I think Kevin Marti would be the only one to answer 100%, or someone with a Marti report verifying one. There are so many cars out here now with "GT Options" (look at how many c-code cars are advertised as a GT on ebay)that someone just saying that they have( had, saw, or a...

I have always read that the GT option required a 4-V carb excluding 1967(and 1982). Also, it was my understanding the X-Code was an "economy" version of the 390, that was why they all had automatic transmissions and the highway gear. The few X-Code cars I have seen were non GT cars, and I have...

Were there any X Code GT's produced, either C/S, HCS, or regular mustangs? Have they been verified by Marti?

I typed up a nice long post before dinner and lost it, so this time I will be brief. The coupe was the most popular body style sold in 1968, so I don't think it was less desireable then...or now. Supply and demand is #1, condition and options #2. The more options the higher price, generally...

I'm thinking of adding A/C to my car, among other things. Although I admit I haven't been out in the garage for weeks, I am starting to have withdrawals.
