    1968 Info on engine stickers?

    Just curious, as I had never seen red or a sticker in that location (or one on that apron) before... I think the oil should be blue. And the PS stick match the can, think they were painted with the stick in so for concourse the upper end of the filler tube would be bare.

    Gas cap refresh

    Tape masked around the badge. Then painted a bit of grease on the chrome. Some etch then black semi gloss. Let dry a couple days then wipe off the grease.

    1968 Water leak

    Yep. These were not designed for the urethane. Wrong product, if someone says to use it on a 60's Mustang find another shop that knows what they are doing. The correct sealant provides some flex to keep the seal which is not there with the urethane, which is for newer glue-in screens with a...

    1968 Water leak

    No need to pull the glass if you seal as noted. Risks breakage and unless there is some damage to fix on the body/flange sealing around the edge completely and glass to seal fixes it almost every time IME. No need to "pull the dash" (not sure how you do that on a Mustang, you can pull the trim...

    1968 Ford Dealers by the numbers

    Not sure how hard it would be... but maybe add a page/function similar to the registry to key in a dealer code and get the info on it? Or a list with search by number, city, state?

    1968 Water leak

    Pull the trim, seal around the whole gasket. Doing one small area is generally a failure as its hard to tell where its really coming from. A hole at the top dribbles down behind and leaks out the bottom, sealing the surface at the bottom does not fix it. Pick out any old/dry/roted sealer...

    1968 Vintage shot from days gone by.

    Days gone by... back when the world was in black and white! :wink: 16 cars, two Mustangs... shows how popular these cars were back-in-the-day. I'd guess mid-60's. ~66-67.

    1968 Yet another grille color question

    Perfect. I do appreciate the suggesitons, but as noted they really don't answer my question. I specifically asked only if the color compared well to OEM, not "how can I get custom paint colors". I know how to do that. As noted, mixing custom colors is way expensive here, oddly not...

    1968 Yet another grille color question

    Sigh... :undecided I have a can of the AP-GPA. I can sure go get a custom color mixed, rent a sprayer/compressor, mix it, spray (and hope it comes out OK, having never done it before) clean-up, return the rented tools and spend probably $150-200 and an hour and a half picking up/returning...
