Rob, the noise is also there when warm... There's probably 30-minutes total time on the motor. No driving yet and it's raining today, so will start it again tomorrow.

Yes, I will be on top of that too Al, Thanks! The stripe kit I have for it is currently "black", but I could go either way. It could be neat having a California copy of your S-code. We could pose in front of it with our guns & call it the "Al'Ca'Clone" ;-)

THANKS Rob! That's what we'll do! In the meantime, is it natural to have a slight tappet noise before break-in when she warms up? There is a slight one on the right side... Oil pressure is good and heads are lubing nicely. What oil do you suggest? right now it's 30 wt. with zinc additive...

...This car (and situation) also brought me closer to some VERY wonderful people and members here! 'Shared some sleepless nights with Rob Campbell whose generous information kept us busy for a week after each call I made to him...checking and testing! Don "68gt390" was its perfect pilot as...

Marty, I bought this car out of Hillsboro, Oregon in 2007 as a Marti-certified S-code 4-speed (original color was Acapulco Blue/ white vinyl top). After a hard life with prior owner(s), the guy I got it from did a ground-up rebuild (huge file of receipts) to its present configuration. I also...

Yes. It's called "Autoholics Anonymous" (or in our case, Unanimous). You get unconditional support, parts and applause to help cope with your increasing drama. Meetings are held regularly on-line with photo ID of your latest acquisitions - Mandatory!!

...I want to thank Renee and TJ again for making the past weekend a long, but extremely rewarding one! ...and the group here for being on hand to share it with :-) Today, I came home to spruce up the garage, get ready for rain (again) and dial in the 390 a little more before final button-up...

...Complete and total success!

Indeed Rob. We were going to install it last weekend but had a cracked motor mount... Renee went shopping during the week and found a perfect one in Sacramento! I can't adequately describe how much fun we had today! 'Wish you guys were here all over again :-) We joked as though you were...

...Robert Campbell, Neil, Steve and Cory would be proud! ;-)

HEY! Right ON!! 'Always wanted one of those! Congratulations :-)

...No truer words spoken Doug! and Congratulations!!!

Welcome to the family! Please feel free to give us data ie; VIN#, engine/ trans combo, photos... anything you can. I for one am as curious as you are. :-)

....And out of all that chaos - Renee's turn signals, brake lights, steering and even throttle linkage magically began working like new again! Amazing!!...

Rob, "Thunder in the Sky" at nearby Auburn. P-51s, TBMs and big Hawkers. Big hangar party and dinner/ dance the night before :-)

...I'm announcing an air show / car show on July 9th and 10th and will be really busy up to that time. If I make it - it'll be via plane or train and no car (Amy). 'Gonna really try, but I know Renee "Ponygal" is going :-)

...Nope here too. I don't own a Shelby nor do I belong to SAAC. As for the latest book hype and another "paulitical" rally, I just see that for what it is...

...Well, those definitely aren't the correct wheels in any case... cinz, how do you want to proceed with this restoration ie; "driver", "original", "show" condition? Give some folks here an idea of how to best help you... Complete tear-down and rust removal paramount before anything IMO.

...So I see. I looked at other Marti's here that showed wheels listed and not listed... You have a nicely optioned car nonetheless. Do you have any prior owner history perhaps?

...Wheel options for the GT/CS are the same for any '68 Mustang. You may wish to order a Marti report for your car to determine which wheel it came with. Or simply choose the style you like best. I believe the Shelby 10-spokes were an option as well...
