Don said he works at Victoria's Secret Headquarters. Arlie, I used to work at a funeral home (working my way through college), but the business was always dead. ::) Casey

A personal story on the Police mustang..... In 1992, I was minding my own business heading down I-20 in Georgia (where I lived at the time). I was doing around 77mph in a 65mph zone when a Ga State Patrol mustang went by the other direction. He saw me, decided he wanted to get me, and hit the...

XcodeGTCS, Thanks for the input. I am betting that my cam is ok since I now have the engine running very good. The push rods are brand new and were purchased to match the stock heads (we switched back to stock heads). The lifters are brand new too, because one of them was bad and causing no...

For all the talk of GT/CS prices going up if (when) a new one is introduced, this would be a very nice one to pick up now. Whether it is a dealer or not, he has done his homework. It has some real nice add-on touches (console, steering wheel, wheels), and it has AC. The GT exhaust needs the...

I meant to say (not 3W, but W3). Not sure if there is significance in the reversal since everyone else is finding the W after the number (Russ, maybe you know). Don, I will check for the seams. If it has been replaced (which it seems to be the case from the STAMP date), they did a great...

Well, I had an interesting find when checking my rear quarter stampings. My GT/CS was built in Feb 21 with the late style reflectors. The stampings are 1 31 2W (make sense from Russ' dating method) and the other is 7 25 W3 (not W3, but 3W). The 7 25 would appear to post date the vehicle build...

Wouldnt it be interesting if the factory put two different panels on?? It seems hard to believe that would be missed. Presumably there are no signs of the quarter panel being replaced? Casey

Wow Russ. This is cool information. I am checking mine when I get home. Casey

Very nice. The green is awesome. Casey

Option 2. v8 is enough power and sound. and it would be my daily driver. casey

Steve, Arlie, Thanks. Now for the stupid questions: 1. It sounds like both of your ideas require me to do this with the engine running and valve cover off. Right? I was taught to use a piece of cardboard about 6"x12" as a shield to keep oil from going everywhere when doing this. (I dont...

Trying the picture of the cardboard divider again. This is from Paul's car. From what Don explains, the metal barrier would go over this. What you see from the trunk is the black cardboard. Casey

Arlie, I like your questions. They are making me think - I had run out of ideas. Remember, I am more of a detailing guy, and not an engine guy - so, I am learning. The noise started about 40 miles after I had replaced all the lifters. Drove around for a while, everything sounded fine, and...

Well you all would be proud of me - I just set all my valve lash and got the valve train quiet (never done that before) and car runs beautifully. I still have one very annoying problem - I had and still have a metal clanking noise coming from the valve train (I think) on the 1234 side. It...

Don is right, mine does not have an X brace. It is only a rectangle. At the top and sides are 4 'stamped out hooks' in the metal that hold the cardboard divider in place - the cardboard has 4 holes around the edge that line up with the 'hooks'. Just hook it on, cut the holes for the seat...

Cant argue with Sunlit Gold! Casey

You can get a cardboard trunk/seat divider for $13 from most Mustang dealers. I believe that cardboard is the correct divider. (HCSStang, do you know?) I dont think metal was originally used, and it cost about $80. I got my cardboard version from Larry's Mustang. Casey

Is the hood pin hold down mounting hardware still in the grill? If so, it just sounds like the hood was replaced? Casey

Bill, this is really cool - beautiful car - Congrats. It is good that the picture links back to this site. We will see more viewers now, and this will be a huge boost for the interest in our GT/CS's. Paul's new book will be perfectly timed with the resurrection of the GT/CS (Paul, if...
