    Friday Joke

    King Arthur and the Witch: Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur...

    1968 Exhaust system

    What are you wanting your exhaust system to do? Do you want maximum noise, maximum power, a nice rumble, or quiet?

    1968 color of under carriage

    How about these. Three completely different shades of red oxide. I think the one on the right is original. Jeff, which overspray pattern is the most correct?

    Small Block Engine Detailing Article

    Here is an article from the September 1992 issue of Mustang Monthly that shows how to detail a 289 Hi-Po. Hopefully the basics apply to our cars. Even if someone tells us that it's not 100% correct at least the pictures are fun to look at.

    1968 Build date question - how early?

    Since 4000 cars were built that would mean that over 25% (1000/4000) of the cars would have recessed reflectors. It's just a WAG on my part but I don't think even 10% have them so I don't see how 1000 cars could have been ready by that date.

    1968 Marti Reports

    His China-based (just a cynical guess) door tag supplier is probably holding things up.

    Spending time lately...

    We've seen cars, trains, and planes, now how about some boats? Here is the world famous, and undefeated, Wazzu Brew Crew 2 on its test voyage in 1983. Just look at how tall she sits in the water, with her freshly painted concrete glistening in the sun. And look how relieved and stressed the...

    Cool photography of models

    Am I the only one who saw the title of this thread and hoped Don started it?:wink:

    1968 Build date question - how early?

    Sorry about page 30 being a little blurry. Rob, I really think you are onto something with your car possibly being one of the debut cars. If one looks at all the possible reasons why your car is the way it is the most logical solution is that it was a debut car. Let's look at the situation...

    Wanted Tail light wiring missing

    If you are going to make one and just want something that works I'm pretty sure the only difference between the GT/CS harness and a regular mustang harness is 4 extra light sockets. Do you have a '68 Mustang wiring diagram?

    There a few others with December dates. Doesn't make sense to me either.

    Old Brake Fluid

    From what I've seen that's a good idea.

    Old Brake Fluid

    Here's a photo of what can happen to brake fluid after 20 years of little to no use. My blue car was driven less than 3000 miles in 20 years. While that may sound good it was apparently bad for the brake cylinders. What you're seeing is not all rust, most of it is crystalized brake fluid...

    2100 Carb Rebuild

    Rob, I may do that. I'll gladly pay to let you use it as a test carb for whatever potions and elixirs you want to soak it in. I'll even pay for some of that brown stuff you call beer!:tongue:
