The fog lights look correct in your picture, and I think I can make out the original mounts behind the grill - so all looks well. To your other question - I have a 2000GT convertible and the GT/CS has way more room in it. Sounds like you have a good car to deal with. Check the underside -...

Robert - Mine does not have this issue, but I had a stock set up for the GT/CS (no dynamite sticks). I think the instructions were different for Shelbys, or those with dynamite sticks, and required some cutting. A friend of mine with a 68 Shelby convertible just converted his over and I will...

A couple of other interesting things to ask about. Does it have the GT option (which would show up in a Marti Report). I would guess not, as it does not have the dual exhaust valance. So, the hub caps are likely add ons (they should be plain, not with GT - not to worry, mine came that way too...

Nice car. Price is nice for something that nice to drive around. After seeing clones go for big bucks at B&J auction, this looks like a good deal (with a 428!). I just dont have the garage space anymore! (BTW, I just signed contract to add another two car attached garage to fit what I have)...

Paul's first book shows 125 went to the KC DSO. Casey

Thanks guys. I will check these things on Sunday and let you know (out of town right now). I can hope it is the timing setting - the guys at the shop messed around with this a lot. As for the spark plug access problem - I will check the shops to see if they have a thin wall socket. I checked...

Great advice. Nice to have some other ideas. Thanks! BTW, it is an automatic and was running fine until the shop messed with the valve setting (to try to get them quiet) and the timing. It is not just vibration - I can hardly keep the engine running under load when idle (once I get it going...

Rhonda, thanks. We have replaced plug wires and checked the firing order. Maybe it is timing or valve settings? The shop messed with both of these last time I had it in. BTW, it has Rousch heads. (anyone have these on their C code?). Casey

I am not as good at engine work as I am at detail work on my GT/CS. So, I have a new engine problem to ask the group. My GT/CS (289) started running very rough - almost shaking the engine off the mounts, especially under acceleration. I checked around and found where the problems is, but not...

To Paul's point about the holes maybe becoming a little too big - I had this problem and a little tid bit that worked for me was that I could "wrap" a barrel nut around one already on the post (using some needle nose pliers), making it thicker on the post. Worked like a charm and filled the...

It is mounted with little "barrel nuts" I think they are called. You slip the barrel nuts onto the chrome pegs and when you put the pegs into the openings the barrel nut expands. I was told to take mine off by just carefully prying it off with a screw driver (careful with the paint). Of...

Doesnt make sense to me either. All the fiberglass parts were readily available to the aftermarket to put on any mustang (scoops, trunk deck, etc) as shown in Motorcade May 1968 magazine article on the GT/CS and Wild World of Mustangs. However, the tail lights would be quite difficult with...

I am speechless! It is the most beautiful thing I have seen since my first born...Casey

I put this in the off topic lounge. Maybe someone has an idea to help me with my 2000GT. I am having some big fluctuation in idle that has recently started as the climate is warming up here. I notice that it appears to be dropping below 500rpm when I clutch to come to a stop and then starts...

Nice convertible - I take it the GT/CS convertible was built (cloned - or whatever term) from a 68 convertible? Casey

Ford has been putting non-functional scoops on sides of mustangs for years (actually from day 1)- why? because they look good. Someone made the call not to, and now their PR is dealing with the bad decision with a set answer. Lets hope they listen to the customer and add scopes to some...

Are you missing them all? The Branda ones are FIBERGLASS, not steel like original. I was missing only one, and was going to split a set with Cesar until we found out they were fiberglass and on back order for months. An original set sold on eBay for big bucks (couple hundred). I had a wizard...

Do your tail lights and brake lights work, and you are just missing the turn signals (front and back)? Casey

Robert, here is the link: http://www.mustangproject.com/ Casey

Russ, do they carry other (289) kits? do they have a web site? Casey
