I ran into the same problem when I pulled my car out of winter storage. It turned out to be a bad socket on my far right bulb. When that happens, all the other running lights and turn signals act weird. It only does this on my CS. ( my other stangs have a different tail light harness) Check all...

I have to agree with Kevin on this one. I know nothing about diamond rings, but you best bet I would have my ring appraised and learn as much about it as I can before sticking it on ebay for $10,000. This discussion has popped up on our forum on many instances. The owner should describe the car...

There is also one for sale on www.vintage-mustang.com Go to 67-68 mustang parts for sale.

We always take our car back to the motel. I try to never let it leave my sight for too long. I'd get it into the motel room if the door was wide enough.

We just got back from the Vicksburg Old Car Festival in Vicksburg Michigan. Each year in June, this little town packs in around 1500 cars of all types on it's city streets. I'm happy to report the CS took a Second place trophy for the "Post War Ford" class! We got beat out by a Boss 429. Go...

My CS is candy apple red. My 68 Shelby is candy apple red. My 70 Torino GT convert is candy apple red, but all a coinsidence since my favorite color on any mustang is white or black! Go figure.

When the mustangs are parked for any period of time, I'll pull the coil wire(and make it still look connected) or the battery cables. Not the perfect solution, but searching these things out is usually not a car thiefs M.O. Anything thats not obvious to slow them down will help. Growing up in...

Thanks for the pic Doug. This helps out a lot. I don't have any pix of my console as our digital camera has been borrowed out, but looks just like the green one Doug posted and in the same condition. It has already been updated with new switches and lens kits. It has no cracks and only one...

I just purchased a beautiful overhead console this weekend and am going to install it in the CS this week. I received a front bracket with it, but nothing for the back. My question is, How does the back of the console secure to the roof. I was told there is a rear bracket needed for fastbacks...

I have painted many cars for customers who wanted thier pinstripes and decals under the clearcoat. It looks great when it is done the right way. You can't feel the stripe on the surface area and it will never peel or fade. However, doing this to a GT/CS stripes would be a large undertaking...

I would suggest heating them up before trying any chemical removers. The wifes blow dryer works great for this job. Warm a corner, and start peeling slowly. Thats what we use here at the body shop.

If you could look at your paints finish with a microscope,(even with the best wet sanding and buff job) you would see tiny scratches, pits, and orange peel. It kinda looks like the surface of the moon. The clays sole purpose is to extract the dirt from those deep grooves and valleys. The harsh...

If the black Saleen has acid rain embedded into the clearcoat and you can feel the crater with your fingernail, I would take it to a trusted body shop and have it professionally wheeled out. The body man will know exactly what grit paper to use and how to restore the surface areas without...

Clay is an awesome product. We use it at the shop for removing overspray from glass and chrome after a paint job. It's sole purpose is to extract the stubborn foriegn matter. Especially on older paint jobs like yours. You did the right thing. You can use it first for getting the big stuff, then...

I have been in the body shop business for almost 20 years now. And in that time, I have used or tried most everything on the shelf. My advice to all is this..... If your paint job is 10 years old or newer, it doesn't really need any waxing. I recomend any brand name "Hand Glaze" without any...

Where in Detroit Bish? I grew up on Conners and Gratiot!

Three Rivers Michigan. The only GT/CS at any car show around here.

Good eye Winston! I looked at those twice and never seen that. Great info. Nicholas

I am selling this for one of my mechanics. This is a beautiful 35th. aniv. limited edition Mac tool box with the 64 1/2 Mustang hologram on the lid, and large aniv. decals on the side is a must in any mustang owners shop or garage! Model MB-4150-M35 10 drawer top. MB-4250-M35 13 drawer bottom...

If I sounded a little harsh in my last message, it is because I have been stung by someones clone. About 15 years ago, a gentleman brought his 69 Lemans into my shop for restoration. He wanted it made into a "Judge". I had no problem with it, especially since the guy was paying in cash. About...
