I had to add the spacer as the shape of the shroud left the fan reeealllllyyyy close to the bottom edge with the longer spacer. Shifting it back allowed the taper of the shroud to give that extra 3/8" - 1/2" clearance... and fit it spot-on dead center (by luck, as I used the only other spacer...

Always thought half-in-half out applied to fan/shroud location.... just did mine last weekend and had to shorten the spacer as noted to fit the shroud.

Man, I gotta move back to the US... I can't buy materials for a good paint job for less than 2k here (granted that is Glasurit cutom color metalflake bc/cc). At $65/hr for rust/body no way to get anything decent for less than 10k here.... I'll be into my X-to-EXP car for at least 20k for body...

Shop manual is a bit vauge in some areas... :wink: I looked for how to install the reverse swtich and its added the significant info "it is located on the transmission" (or words to that effect. A great reference but lacking in a lot of detail as it assumes the tech has had some training and...

I have a 20-ish page write up with pics. Send me a PM with email to send to...

In '68 the marker became mandatory by federal regualtion, the C8xx stock fender. Which is different than a '67 due to the marker light hole and formed mounting flanges. (and on some running horse bagdes the pin size and locations changed in '68 as well) I just thought it odd that an undrilled...

Drop me a PM if you want me to drop by. Would need to see your setup to provide input, happy to take a look...

I'd did some similar looking around. Once I added up the cost of LED's and noted the "spot" brightness provided by most LED's I decided to stick to OEM style incandescents...

Sounds like you are talking about two issues: 1. depth of fan in shroud 2. offest and fan hitting shroud On # 1 as noted half-and-half-is the "norm", depth of fan will make no major difference to clearance to shroud, as you are talking 1/2" or so at a minor deflection angle... (ok, as the...

Interesting they'd take a C8 part, not drill it... and it somehow becomes a C7... :smile:

So would that mean GT's had a separate part too? Would think the line just drilled a template according to build sheet, not multiple parts for a simple drilled hole that varied in at least 3 ways...???

Hey, those housings look really good, I didn't mean to dismiss the parts. Sorry if it came off that way, was just commenting on the correct lens. Keep the housings, they look great (in spite of the grommet issue) stick 'em on the car, if you want find a matching lens for one or the other and...

"Foreign Glass" is the dead giveaway they aren't correct 68's... OEM had ENGLAND at the lower edge of the glass... This is a sketch of the ones on my car, not sure if they are original or not, but they do have the England stamp. There are a lot of variations of the "Square 8"'s out there...

yup... what he said....:smile:

Ok, add a few hundred bucks, I picked of a OEM tail panel and buckets for about $250, $100 worth of wiring from Branda, llight caps and cardboard covers. $500. I also forgot the Cal Special scripts, Mustang on the trunk lid, GT/CS stripe kit, and debadging the fenders too. it was not a...

Other than the VIN, not really... 5 pieces of readily reproduced fiberglass, if you are repainting anyway not much additional work. A '67 grille, some fogs and simple wiring, add hood locks and you're done... Maybe a few grand from non to "GT/CS" in a repaint. Not "cheap", but not that...

I just went thru installing OEM in a '68 coupe (non GT/S). Don't. The next car will probably get a Classic Auto Air "Perfect Fit" bolt-in kit, but using OEM dash controls and vents... http://www.classicautoair.com/?q=67_68_Mustang_Cougar_Air_Conditioning_Ford_Mercury_AC.html

Yep, the glass lens is a separate part from the trim, should be removable, unless some PO sikaflexed it in place... http://www.thecoralsnake.com/FogLight

Hey, Ford would change a washer or bolt and save 0.1c per, it all adds up. $35 in '68 works out to about $250 today... if you can save that to the consumer the savings would probably be even more for Ford... assume they saved the same in total incurred costs (sourcing the part, shipping it...

How long is a piece of string? :wink: What does it matter if its one-of-"x" left... there are "many"... is what it is... Enjoy the one you have!
