    1968 Seat Cover Change

    I think if you watch the instructional videos and you take your time you can do it. My advice is take one seat piece at a time. If the burlap has deteriorated you may need some help as it is a lot more work to start from bare springs. The original horn ring was argent. If you do not care about...

    1968 Door data plate

    It is very easy if the door panel is off. Just give them a tap from the inside and they will come right out. Other wise you can very carefully drill them out.

    1968 Door data plate

    You are right that was a poor choice of words. One thing I want to clarify is that I have no issue with a reproduction replacement tags as long as the information remains the same as the original. I get a bit worked up a bit over this because on a MCA concours judge sheet the Color, Interior...

    1968 Door data plate

    Great business plan on Kevin Marti's part, sell fake door plates and cause a atmosphere that makes everyone buy a Marti report before they buy a car to know the truth. Smart business. Scott you are correct it is not too hard to spot the reproductions but the average person would not know the...

    1968 Door data plate

    Neil I think it looks fine but here is the bigger problem to me and this is not you fault. It is that Kevin Marti will make door tags that have what ever changes that you ask for and I think that is wrong. I know you will not represent the car as a original Highland green car but what about two...

    1968 Driver side door originality

    The texture was stamped in the steel but is not very deep so it is easily filled. The date stamp would be on the interior. Originally there was sound deadener on the inside of the outer skin. Hope this helps.

    1968 Driver side door originality

    Is it bare steel? The texture is easily lost to too much paint or primer. If it is Ford there should be some date stamps on it.
