Glad you shared that. Unfortunately, in this day and age it seems that we need to assume everyone we speak to at any agency, utility, or company, got his or her job solely by being a moronic inbred second cousin of someone in upper management. With that cynical thought in mind always...

Here's what I have for small blocks. Don't know if BB are different. I found this in an old magazine and will see if I can find it again. Remember, these settings are for bias ply tires, not radials. Caster-3/4 to +1 1/4 (optimal +1/4). Vary only 1/2 degree between wheels Camber +1/4 to...

Hmmm, this car looks familiar. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-RESTORED-2-Owner-Mustang-GT-California-Special-/370410047428?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item563e28c7c4

Darn it, I hoped you had some secret way of attaching the bracket. I found out the hard way that the '68 and '69 seat backs are completely different and there is no easy way to attach a '69 headrest bracket onto a '68 seat. I'm now doing the same thing you did.

Here's a drawing and a couple photos. The drawing shows where to remove the horizontal and vertical bars.

Jon, How did you attach the headrest brackets on the '68 seats?

You can say, "Clean Window" then press hard on the lever. It helps to point out the dirty window to the passengers so they are looking at it instead of your feet.

An eBay auction for a Highland Green GT/CS. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-Ford-Mustang-California-Special-V8-Automatic-/150466895277?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2308869dad That's an interesting air cleaner housing.

This is either a scam or one of the rarest Mustangs in the world. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Fastback-427-/260633543373?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3caef842cd

These look like a couple nice cars. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=IA0710-96333&entryRow=86 http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=IA0710-96302&entryRow=69 Nice looking Bronco, too. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=IA0710-96349&entryRow=96

It says it's a rust free Colorado car. Is that a normal '67 color? http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=IA0710-95877&entryRow=62

Found this project car on Craigslist. Only $10!!!!! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/1835443216.html

My total WAG is that since our cars were built in batches the 'special' work was probably done near the end of the line and those handful of workers may have been told to pay close attention to the build sheets to see if the car was a HCS or GT/CS.

I'll buy as many as cars like this for $5,000 as you want to sell me. Heck, I'll even double it and buy all you can provide for $10,000 each. I think this car is definitely worth looking at, especially since it's a High Country Special.

The grill is a standard '67 unit, (yes, '67 and not '68) but you'll need to remove the vertical brackets and cut the grill for the foglight brackets. It's easy and I can send you a drawing of the grill that shows where to cut. The posts for the Lucas lights can be purchased from...

It looks like they now have a gold HCS and a red HCS http://stores.ebay.com/WHOLESALE-DIECAST-MODEL_Mustang-Diecast_W0QQ_fsubZ4QQ_sidZ208321451?_nkw=high+country&submit=Search

It looks like it is. Nice catch.

If there are not slots cut in the rubber you need to cut them in. Make the slots TINY, just large enough to insert the pins. Put the pins in the rubber then snap the whole thing into the holes.
