    Mystery Ladder bars

    Never heard of scissor bars, ladder and traction bars are about the only type I've seen. Keepin the smoke to a minimum as the tires are too expensive to replace, sure is fun though. Hook

    Heater Core.

    Talk to me about heater cores. I've replaced my heater core 4 time in 10 years all while it's been in storage. Does the car sitting with antifreeze in the heater core cause it to rot and leak? I can't imagine that I've just been dang unlucky and got 4 bad cores. The core in it now is leaking...

    Your GT/CS "Plans"??

    Speaking for myself I'll be the first to congratulate a trophy winner. It takes a lot of patience to live with a beauty queen but there's a lot of reward in doing so when you peer under the covers. :o And if it makes a show winner feel better to rub in someones face they can use mine anytime...

    Your GT/CS "Plans"??

    #2 for me. I want her to look original and fresh but be a driver. Someday when I'm retired and have lots of time I may go more for the total ground up restoration. I do have a trailer to haul her if I need but short of long trips she'll have her rubber on the road. Hook

    Wanted: Cigar Socket Retainer

    Anyone have a spare retainer that holds the socket in place? I have the socket and the lighter but not the retainer that screws on the back and holds the socket in place. Hook

    Fired up my GT/CS

    While out spinning the wheels I noticed I had quite a pull to the left when braking so I went down to Parts Service and picked up new spring kits, new shoes, new wheel cylinders, new adjusters , new bearings, and some bearing grease. I got the left side tore down and all put back together new...

    Turn Signals

    Good information, I was digging around today putting in the new flasher unit that did no good and noticed there are a couple of dead end wires under there. One goes to the cigarette lighter which has some issues I'll bring up at another time, but there was also a double plug that isn't plugged...

    Fired up my GT/CS

    Everything works except the turn signals front and rear including the hazard lights. I put in a new flasher unit, did no good, I still have no turn signals. :'( Cory

    Fired up my GT/CS

    Put the new rad-cap on and took her out again last night and no more antifreeze stripes on the road. ;D Did leave a few black stripes however and my 21 year old son was impressed. ;) Hook

    Base?

    Maybe I'll take a trip to some of the local junk yards and see if I can't find some 68ish cars and take a look at what antenna's they have if they still have one. Make for a fun day out pilfering through the yards. Hook

    Base?

    The reason I'm leaning toward a rectangular base is that my memory tells me that is what was on the car when I bought it. At some point it got busted and I bought a cheap aftermarket round one, I can remember looking for a rectangular base and couldn't find one. The round one I bought...

    Base?

    Fired up my GT/CS

    Oh sure! Here you guys are talking up the sequentials while my turn signals aren't working. ::) Cruised it today signals or not. ;D Keep in mind I live in a rural back country area, no one even knows what turn signals are anyway. If ya'll hadn't talked about the sequentials I wouldn't even...
