    Tilt-away steering

If you have a 68 service manual you can find a repair procedure. If not PM and I will try to help. I see them sell on...

    . What is Your Winter Project

    Well today is the first day of Spring, and wouldn't you just know it snowed 3-4 more inches last night. But it also means that we are at the end of our Winter projects. How did you all do? I sold our damaged 67 coupe and am well in to the restoration of the 68 HCS. I also hopefully fixed the...

    World's Rarest '68 Mustang

    Got to love it when one of these rare all original cars show up on the show field. Tough to convince them that the car is not what they think it is. Especialy if they just payed a lot of money for it and bought this story. Marty

    . Tank metal cleaning

    I decided to try tank metal strip-cleaning on our HCS hood because it had surface rust in side the structure where media blasting could not reach. I was pleased it removed 98% of the paint and all of the rust. It cost $65. When I have hand striped them it took all day and did nothing to the...

    1968 STOLEN SPECIAL... recovered within 1 hour

    The body shop owners nephew wanted it so when the insurance setteled I sold it. Not the way I wanted to part with it but it gave me the funds to get the HCS restoration started. I was hooking up the battery and the solenoid had welded internally so it cranked up and started. You can bet when I...

    1968 STOLEN SPECIAL... recovered within 1 hour

    Those darn brats sure messed up your fun for a while. Glad to see that it is back on the road to recovery. After the November solenoid failer that wrecked our 67 coupe, I know a lot more about how that all works. I think they either used the dipstick to unlock the door or jump the battery to the...
