What are you using to clean with? Was there undercoating there before, or just road dirt? Casey

Hub Caps sold. Thanks, Casey

I switched to OEM plain center hub caps (which I paid $100 for on eBay), since my car did not have the GT option (I am trying to stay close to original). The GT center caps can be seen on my car in the Gallery page 2. $50 plus shipping for 4 GT center caps (driver/local show quality - good...

Bob, you are correct. Tony Branda tail light covers are fiberglass. I was going to order them until they told me that. Instead, I had a metal person make one from steel (I was missing one.). These are hard to find, as Bob is saying, so if someone needs a set this is a good chance. Casey

OK - dumb question. :-\ My oil plug on my GT/CS is stripped. I can only tighten it so much before it loosens - and it of course drips oil. My engine buddy says someone put a metric plug in at one time by mistake, and to just go to the auto parts store with it and get a larger one, and it will...

Hey, it looks like you get to keep your engine in the kitchen! If only my wife would let me do that :D Or else, that is one clean garage. I have a hot 351W in my 66 convertible, and I push the accelerator carefully with my toe (and hope the torque boxes hold and dont twist the frame). It...

Rich, This is a stunning car! If Sunlit Gold weren't already the perfect color, your blue is definitely a color I would choose. :) How did it go on getting any paperwork on the car? Casey

The detail is impressive (really). This person did their homework on the GT/CS. The only things missing are the fog lights and the front bumper guards would be chrome (not painted). It has to be a convertible, or only my 4 year old would be able to drive it. Paul, you may want to include...

The numbers on mine are DOT-287-VF-M522. Also says SUN-X-AS1, and at the bottom DW-654. Casey

Very nice! I know you cant wait to get to work on it. Second owner from your uncle is really cool! Hope you get all the paperwork - it is priceless! Looks like someone redid the tail stripes at one time? You will want does those again - they were not quite done right - they should be higher...

Congrats! Would love to see pics! Have you put them in the Gallery yet? To put them on the post thread, they have to be less than 100kb. If you have them as a .jpeg, you can open them on your computer and do an image, resize and reduce it in size until it is less than 100kb. To tell what...

These are hard to find. I finally had my buddy make one from steel that I was missing. Casey

June issue of Mustang Times (MCA) has a nice Tech article on how to install the Classic Auto Air system - 4 pages and 32 color pictures. Casey

These will fit. But, they are later period. The correct period covers have a round "eye" and the Lucas trademark is in white lettering surrounding by two rectangular white edged boxes. Search for Lucas covers and you will see some on my GT/CS. Note - GT/CS's did not come with covers. So...

Dave - the block has 289 cast in the valley. Paul - no worries, the block is now decently dressed. Although it would be proud to wear one of your tee shirts - preferably wet. Also, news to me, but good to know that not all blocks were stamped with the VIN. Bbeaty - I know where the block...

OK - the drum roll please. I found no VIN number on my 289 block where many on the forum have found theirs - at the back top of the block just rear of the intake manifold (this has been discussed many times in other threads). I am 99% certain this is the original block - I even have the engine...

Lifters replaced and all is working well! We still have some valve noise (tapping and clacking) that we will probably have to go back in and adjust after I drive it a while and the lifters are good a full of oil. I want to thank everyone for their advise on this engine saga. I have learned a...

What is the normal operating temp range of a (fairly) stock 289? I looked all in the engine manual and could not find it. Mine runs 160 to 210 (maybe 220) degrees. Casey

This is a great reminder for all of us to count our blessings and to remember to give to those in need. My wife and I have always (even in the early days when we had little) given from our resources before we spent on ourselves, and have never had regrets. We teach our children to do the same...
