    1968 Disc Brake Conversion Complete

    Yes it does, I can find out all the specifics if you would like from the mechanic. That was one of the requirements when I handed over the keys, the stock styled steel wheels must fit without issue. Cory

    Thanks Oscar, There aren't any requirements around the condition of your car so send away, just a few requirements around the photo size (1MB works best) and the deadline. Cory

    1968 You In A Book

    Just so everyone knows, the deadline is the 15th, it will take me through the end of the month and maybe even mid next month to get everything finished on my end and then read through it 100 times looking for the inevitable spelling or typo issues that no matter how hard I try I will miss. We...

    1968 You In A Book

    Winding Down Just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline is this weekend, 15th. I've received some last minute entries which is fine as long as you can get your story typed up and sent along with some photos for the chapter. You don't have to have a fancy entry to make the book, a brief...

    1968 Exclusion from registry book.

    Thanks Casey and Jon, snail mail it is, I assume his address is in one of the threads for the registration so I'll get it and send it off. I did not pay any money in advance so no issues getting any refund. Ironically as it seems I came pretty close to paying for several books and then I...

    1968 Exclusion from registry book.

    A lot of stuff has gone on between Newitt and the group but the most recent issue with Frank and the complete slap in the face of this wonderful web site, californiaspecial.com, "Forget CS.com" is pretty bad. So can someone tell me how I reverse the fact that my information is in his previous...

    Power brake conversion

    Thanks for the offer Steve but I'm going to be lucky if I get any weekend to myself the balance of the summer. To clarify what you guys are suggesting, we should find a donor car with the parts we need and then upgrade with those donor parts to keep it all Ford original equipment. That makes...

    1968 Exclusion from registry book.

    Jon or anyone else that may have the answer, can you direct me in the proper proceedure to politely request that my information and any reference to me or mine be removed from PMN's book and registration. Do I need to snail mail him a formal request? I've decided if Frank can't be in the...

    Power brake conversion

    Thanks, Can anyone offer a suggestion on a good kit to use (tried and true), I don't want to lose the ability to use my current 14" Styled Steel wheels. I'm communicating with the mechanic and I told him I'd find out what has worked from those that have done the conversion. Cory

    Power brake conversion

    Thanks for the input, my gut feel was that the rear wasn't needed but your adding some specifics makes it even more valid. I do know I don't like the front drums. Any idea on what it should cost? Cory

    Power brake conversion

    My neighbor does car restoration and mechanical work, great guy but his business is suffering due to the economy. He has approached me about getting my car started down the path of restoration to help him out with some work, I'm not ready to do the whole thing but to help out I've told him I'd...
