    1968 Good deal or not?

    What color carpet did you go with? I am going a dark green/gold with IG interior, bought the IG carpet and its really light, thinking a darker green may work better... photo or two?

    1968 Rear tail light panel

    No fuel splash guard, but there is a rubber strip (about 2"x18-24" IIRC) that helped black out the license lamp from shining up onto the back tail panel... used on non GT/CS not 100% sure if it was used on these or not..

    1968 Looking to replace front and rear shocks - Recommendations?

    Bilstein street valved. More expensive, but I put them on all of my Ponies and am very happy... made a very noticeable difference over KYG GR-2's and Monroe-matics.

    1968 Odd turn signal problem...

    Have not had time to get deeper into this. But I did bench test the assemblies. All bulbs are dual filament and worked preoperly when connected to power. One terminal lit up all 3 (brakes) and the other three one-by-one lit up the second element on each bulb (turn signal, common hot on GT/CS...

    Tail panel hole filler plates

    Bob, did not get the email. I will be in the US in May and if we can work something out that would be great. I'll be Walleye fishing in Minnesota for 2- 1/2 weeks so shipping to there in a few weeks would work best.... I'll send you a PM

    1968 Odd turn signal problem...

    Headlights off, both sides work fine. Headlights on, LH works, RH does not... Lights off, hit RH... blink-blink-blink... turn on the lights without touching the turn signal lever and it quits. Lights off... blink-blink-blink... Weird. New wiring, bench tested, in both buckets. All OK...

    1968 Exhaust Question

    Stock '68 390/428 setup. 20+ years on mine and no explosions or rust... It is a reasonable setup with a moderate, but "firm" note that sounds good (to me) and doesn't drone or become annoying when cruising. I can't belive just changing the muffler from transverse to duals would make a...

    Tail panel hole filler plates
