That sounds Great! We would like to stop in to say hi even if the gathering does not work out. May be I could higher TJ to help get the HCS detailed for the National Show it looks like he gets lots of pratice! Marty

Tim if you decide to pull the trigger on another family gathering it would be great if it were before or after the Golden Gate MCA National show June 22-24 in Concord CA. We were thinking of trailering our HCS out for it's first national show. I would be great to see everyone while we are there...

Yes I would have to agree about Python. Stuart finished the HCS set last week and I am very pleased. Neil I will look and see if I have a OEM one around. Marty

Welcome back! Tell us more about the HCS? Where did you find it? We have a garage feature here now, I would like to see your cars. I am restoring a C code HCS as well. Marty

I have that book, it seems to have a lot of wrong information in it. Marty

Neil, It was too bad you were deducted for doing it right! Too many people think when you become a MCA judge you know everything. When a judge thinks they know everything that realy shows how little they know. We all make mistakes, but when I do I try to learn from it. Marty

Painted is the way to go if you will be driving the car. I am doing a concourse trailered restoration with bare metal finishes protected with some advanced oils. That seems to be the direction the MCA is headed. I must admit I really like the look. Marty

Gary, My HCS was built 7-16-68 and is a C code with a automatic transmission. I had silver paint bands on the rear springs and red and yellow on the coil springs. I have some pictures of these. I have not finished the drive shaft yet but have diped it in Evaporust to remove the rust. Most of the...

Scott, That is a cool idea. Now that you know how to make them may be you should sell them? Marty

You are right, today after getting out a 67 and a 68 seat backs I can see no way that is the problem. Unless it was droped and bent the steel. Both seat backs measured 42 1/4 so no difference there. The only difference in the quarter covers is at the top back the 67 gos under the package tray...

Most likely the pading was lost or damaged. Possibly pulled the sides too tight. At any rate it need to come apart and be repaired. Marty

They are not for the tilt, I have that option. Marty

Neil, That is normal for a replacement switch.You do not need them that is not the problem. Those wires I belive were used on Cougars. Scott B. will know.

I am looking for a TS brand original Ford script head light for our 68 HCS restoration. Thanks Marty

It is not too early 22B. My son Travis is 6-4 1/2 so we added the 69 backs with headrest to make it more comfortable for him. Not much gets by you Scott! It is not a concours car at all. Marty

Here are a few pictures of my son's 68 with the 2A black interior. We went for a fall cruse to the apple orchards today it was a perfect fall day in Nebraska. Marty

All metal surfaces were the charcoal black. When I have time I will get you a picture of one of our cars. Marty

Hi Neil, Are you winning the battle today? I just declared victory over drivers door window instalation and adjustments. The paint you need is ACE Rust Stop leather brown satin #1197060. I wish I could just give you this can but I think is would cost more to ship than to buy. I did not use much...

Neil I just got back from the shop, I got a picture of the HCS panel that I restored. It is still a bit of a tedious job masking off the black indents but that is how ford did it. A Ace brand satin brown spray bomb is close to perfect match to the brown that Ford used. I can get the #s off the...

Neil did you know the original conrtol panels were not wood grain but painted brown to match. I see if I have and of the pictures of the one I restored for my HCS. Marty
