    When a restoration shop just won't finish...

    Sacramento is easy (56 mi). PM me on how you would like to proceed along with contact info and I will be happy to begin w/ a look-see. You may want to let them know that someone is coming by to shoot photos and give you a progress report. I'm not going to be demanding, rather provide a status...

    When a restoration shop just won't finish...

    Dan, I have been reviewing your posts going back to 2004! It's time for some action! Is the car still in Southern California? I would be happy to check on things the next time I go there on business, but I'm 500 miles away. Maybe someone closer can chime in. Let's keep in touch!

    Gargage Flooring

    ...Most of the new aircraft hangar floors here have gone to epoxy for ease of cleaning and appearance. Tiles and even sheet flooring can eventually scratch and retain spill stains that are difficult to keep clean...

    When a restoration shop just won't finish...

    ...I so agree w/ Cory! I would give this some immediate consideration. You are in Stockholm. Is the restoration shop here in the U.S. by chance?

    Do you have more invested in your GT/CS than its market value?

    I know John :-) I was making loose reference to what some insurance companies would review as "worth" vs the actual market. I've heard horror stories of some of the hassles people have endured in the past. That's why it may be good to have periodic appraisals performed... I also know that...

    1968 center floor console

    Thanks Mike & Paul. I was looking real hard about three years ago & sort of gave up. I didn't think about "Cougars"... Thanks again!

    Question on when to get alignment

    ...As a side note: I've replaced more tires on these cars due to damage from sitting vs tread wear. Flat spots on radials, cracked siewalls, etc... I miss the old days of driving enough to wear 'em down the tread bars ;-)

    1968 center floor console

    ...Last I heard; the extended radio knobs were almost impossible to find. Are there any aftermaket sources?

    Question on when to get alignment

    ...Okay then - no maybe about it... I AM missing something ;-) Thanks T!

    Question on when to get alignment

    ...Maybe I'm the one missing something, but getting new tires doesn't mandate getting the alignment done. Robert, you had the deluxe kit installed and aligned. You say: "bouncing off straight on freeway" - what does that mean?? Bouncing due to out of balance (old tires) or some form of...

    Lower Console

    ...I guess I mis-read (before a.m. coffee;-) Rob. I'm not interested in the ashtray style, rather just mounting of aux. oil, temp and amp gauges attractively w/o replacing the factory ones in the dash. Now that I've seen your "gauge cluster" post - that may become a nice option. Thanks!

    Color change?

    ...All sounds well & good to me except for impending job layoff! I hope all works out for the best...!

    Do you have more invested in your GT/CS than its market value?

    ...No, "Happy" is John MicGilvary who only has to insure his car for $3,700! ;-)

    Lower Console

    ...I'd like to see pics of your gauge mods if I may, Rob. My S-code 4-speed has the "lights"... You can reach me at [email protected] if you don't want to post them.

    Newbie Wanting Advice

    1968 What motivated you to buy a 1968 GT/CS?

    ...Never heard of one before getting my first in 1978, but seeing it drive by where I worked every day got me to dreaming and drooling ;-) Some months later; it came up for sale in the paper and I quickly hocked my '69 fastback to a friend and grabbed it! Its rarety and appeal combined with...

    Interesting color scheme. I've seen only one other vehicle painted that way ;-)
