    Would you trade your 1968 GT/CS for a Fastback of same year?

    Never was big on the engine and power. Had too many friends in school big on the HP and big blocks and they spent all their time in the shop working on the car because of all their modifications. Had one friend with a big block in a Torino the would foul plugs constantly and he had to lift the...

    GT/CS - Soup to nuts restoration?

    Amazing how arrogant some people are. You think he would politely answer the questions when talking to a potential buyer. But then they say defensive reactions are typically for an underlying reason. Hook

    ADMIN - Vote for the 2005 Calendar!

    Looks great, I cast my vote and it worked so I assume it's open again. I tried to include at least one of every color but it sure seems like the greens and reds rule. Wish my blue was in there but at least there's one blue one. Hook

    GT/CS - Soup to nuts restoration?

    Short of the grill it looks to be in pretty darn good shape. Think he'd trade me and let me keep my grill and lights? Save me a lot on restoration costs. ;D Has anyone questioned him on the grill? Be interesting to see what he has to say about it. Front end collision? The lights look to...

    Carb Question!

    Great suggestion on the fuel pump as I changed it out at the same time because I was having the problems not starting and I thought maybe the fuel pump was bad. So this could be my culprit. What exactly am I looking for in a fuel pump regulator. Is it inline or does it screw into the carb...

    Carb Question!

    Sounds like sound advice to me. I really don't think I need to go through the whole carb considering it's had two complete kits so I guess I'll start there by going to Ford for my next kit and just change out the top gasket and see if it fits better. As for the garage shop 5S project it has...

    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...
