    1968 This Can't be Good!

    I think it was in the movie gumball rally the vans fuel tank sprung a leak and the trail of fuel caught on fire. They were trying to out run the flames but it did not turn out so well for them. Arlie I am glad you found it. One benefit of being a concoure guy I spend a lot of time under the car...

    1968 Paul's Book

    Has anyone heard for sure when Paul's book will be out? I have heard a lot of dates but they seem to come and go. Jeff Speegle was saying at the judges meeting that he had reveiwed some of the technical pages and said that there are a lot of good drawings and pictures. We are getting close to...

    1968 What color is the underside of your GT/CS?

    Seems like I remember 67-68 gold card Danny Truit saying that his black 68 fastback was blacked out. You could tell the differance in the gloss of the black. Marty

    1968 What color is the underside of your GT/CS?

    We have even seen the black out spray on black cars. I think that the guy on the line hit every car that went by. Marty

    1968 Interior Colour

    I think you have all the sea foam green areas right except all the grained areas on the door should be Lt Ivy Gold metallic #9266LH. Everything that is painted in a coupe should be that color except the metal trim pieces that hold the dash pad down and the match the dash pad. You could take a...

    1968 Doors

    Here is the best repair method I know. Spread some RTV out on a undamaged area of the door let it cure for a day. Spray some primer fill coat on the repar area only. Let it tack a bit. Then Take the RTV off the door and press it in to the filler and pull off cleanly. This is a one shot deal mess...

    1968 Mini-tach Installation

    It sounds like you did a pretty good job. I did one of these in my sons 67 about a year ago. I recall that the instructions said not to use the clock circut because it is hot all the time. You may want to use one that is only hot when the key is on with a inline fuse. I think there is a triple...

    1968 Big suprise

    I have a project car that I have been thinking of selling. I found it before we bought the HCS but it was not for sale then. It was a C-code rust free coupe that was going to be a Shelby clone that had no moter or transmission. We bought the HCS and I for got about it. One day the guy called me...

    Boise State

    They were asked to play a Nebraska and turned it down because Nebraska would not guarentee them one million dollars. I think most that do play here get near that amount. Marty

    1968 289 cooling problems revisited...

    I would try a 195 T stat. Might help the radiator cool a bit more between cycles. It helped on Craig's 67. If the T stat does not have a small hole in it drill a 1/16th hole in it. Also check for correct fan and fan pully. Marty

    1968 289 cooling problems revisited...

    Way to go guys! Hope that is the end of the over heating story for you. That was was the first problem on Craigs car. It does not get hot now unless you go 70 mph for a while and still has not boiled over. We may try a 3 core radiator some time. For now it keeps him from speeding. Marty
