    Indeed! All that's missing would be a home delivery service w/ an old ambulance ;-) And Ron; seriously?

    1968 Hood Stripes for Wimbleton White-Red or Black?

    ...Robb, if you're going to have the car painted anyway - what about getting some strips of graphic vinyl (from a sign shop) and applying to the hood temporarily to see how it looks. Inexpensive and removable...

    1968 Hood Stripes for Wimbleton White-Red or Black?

    ...No, not stupid at all;-) You have me wondering as well. With Photoshop handy, it's easy to do a quickie sketch for folks to compare with. 'Beats the "garbage bags" which I haven't found in "red" ;-)

    1968 Hood Stripes for Wimbleton White-Red or Black?

    ...True, but must we always be so religious? I saw a black CS w/ gold side and hood stripes a short while ago that looked awesome! I know there is more & more pressure to be "correct" here and that Ford (then as now) created as many wonderful options to appeal to all of us. But like so many...

    1968 Hood Stripes for Wimbleton White-Red or Black?

    ...Robb, with your first post I though it would be "sin" to have anything but red stripes especially with your interior. After playing around a bit - I think the black looks outstanding! It will highlight the blacked out grille which by design, compliments the rest of the car. I think too...

    1968 Hood Stripes for Wimbleton White-Red or Black?

    ...Well, for what it's worth, I thought I would go ahead & illustrate what the two options may look like.... Or perhaps a third option in honor of your career ;-)

    GT/CS on the auction block

    Was it a white vinyl top, or was it really convertible? If "convertible" - it wasn't a real GT/CS Kathy...

    . "Buy Something at a FORD Dealer Week"

    ...No way Steve! We need to keep in mind that we're exchanging ideas and differences that flash across computer terminals and that each of us are (like) programmed by our individual education and environments. AINT NO WAY we're going to be on the same page about everything (or anything, short...

    ...So where will it end? Jon - Are you aware of this? (see link) http://www.adrants.com/2008/01/ford-slaps-brand-enthusiasts-returns.php I guess he'll just have to appoint Newitt to do our calendars from now on (which means you better send your money three years in advance) Sarcasticly...

    . "Buy Something at a FORD Dealer Week"

    Talan423, I don't disagree with ANYTHING you've said. You are informed and right on! But it will take all of those concessions, new contracts and above all - new understanding to plug the financial leaks that plague the auto makers who otherwise have no good reasons to be in such debt based...

    . "Buy Something at a FORD Dealer Week"

    ...My point about not rushing out to "buy Ford" (with what little cash many have these days) has to do with their (and other auto maker's) REAL problems - the cost of doing business in this country today with regulations, UAW demands, congressional pressure to build cars they think we should...

    . "Buy Something at a FORD Dealer Week"

    If there is one good thing about recession - it's that it causes big companies to get back to founding principles ie; they "get it" because there is suddenly no $$ coming in. While I think it's a noble gesture to support Ford by "buying stuff", I also think it's like taking vitamins to deal...

    '68 Convert Project

    ...That's a nice feeling indeed Neil. We recently had like fortune with our swap in my son's '68 (after we figured out the Petronix magnet was mounted in the wrong place on the distributor) We also had a little trouble with low idle, but a new kit in the Autolite 2100 solved that. She's...
