    Carb Question!

    Started working on the GT/CS this summer and one of the things I decided to do was rebuild the carburetor. figured it was a good idea at the time. Well it turned out to be a mistake. It's a 2 barrel carb and it worked fine before I messed with it. After my handy work it was blowing fuel out...

    Welder Choice?

    I'm hinting to the wife that I would like a welder for my Birthday. Anyone familiar with the Lincoln Weld Pak 100? Looks like it will weld up to 1/4 inch. Cost is around $350 with a few accessories. Not something I would use a ton (I say that now) but I'd like to be able to fabricate some...

    Thanks

    Just wanted to say thanks to Admin for giving this a shot. :D I was just comparing this forum to some of my other forums and I felt like I knew the members in some of the other groups quite a bit better than I do in this group. Almost to the point I'd consider a lot of them friends. This...

    Weekend Project

    Guess I better kick this off based on it being my suggestion. Recently purchased a little Ford Festiva as a commute car to save some money, bare in mind this car is pretty beat up and has a ton of miles but runs good and cost me all of $400. To liven it up a bit I decided to give it a flame...

    Gallery

    Here about a month ago I posted up my GT/CS for the gallery and notice that it still hasn't made it in. Just curious if I did something wrong in entering the info or if I'm just impatient. Cory

    Stripes

    I find it interesting when looking at various pictures of GT/CS Mustangs that the side stripe kit ends up with so many variations when cars are repainted. I've seen them with the stripes extending beyond the scoop to the back as well as not having the stripe in front of the front wheel well...

    Dual GT Quad Tip Specs

    My next step in the restoration is the change to the GT dual exhaust. Can anyone get me pictures of the tips sticking out the back with some tape measurements so I know how far out and down they should be. I'm going to have it professionally done but I want something to give them as a...

    Modification Discussion.

    In the process of restoring my GT/CS the temptation of a modification has won me over. I have resisted changing anything in the 20 years that I have owned the car until now. My modification is to change the lower rear valance to the GT valance and dualing out the exhaust to the GT specs. I...
