I had a small metal clip located on the lip of the cowl opening for the windshield wiper arm post. There was only one on the drivers side and it was located at about the 7 o'clock position when viewed from the front of the car. The clip was installed with the small size up as in the photo...

Hey Y'all, I picked it up from Larry today and brought it home, YAY!!!. He did a great job with it and I am very happy. It feels really good to have my GT/CS in the garage again. Now starts the really fun part. I don't have many photos to share but here are a few. I was really fortunate and...

My Father knows the owner of GPD (Genuine Parts Dist) and has worked out a deal for me to get an engine and some parts from him. Kind of a one shot deal so I wanted to put a parts list together before I called him. I have my original 289 and 100% of the parts that came with it. I have an...

One of the first things to tackle when I get my car back is the wiring. I have purchased a complete Painless kit and will be adding a cruise control and A/C to the car. I also have a Mallory electronic ignition distributor. I have a lot of patience and some limited electrical know how but this...

I know open question. I am now in month 36 with my resto and just got to wondering. How long did it take Ford to make a 1968 GT/CS back in 1968 ? I don't know how long it took to build a standard edition Mustang. But then the CS would have taken some additional time to pull it off the line and...

Hey Y'all, I'll be picking my car up this weekend from Larry. I've seen a few preliminary photos of the paint job and it looks fantastic. I'm very excited and will post a bunch of photos after I pick up the car. The car is in Amarillo, Texas and I will be putting it on a 20' flatbed trailer...

I don't know how many of you followed the articles in the Auto restorer magazine on the GT/CS. Larry Lyles now has his second GT/CS to work on, Mine! I'm really excited. Arlie and friends helped load and bind the car up on a trailer Friday. My wife and I drove it up to his shop and I now...

Can one of you guys with an original paint (68) car tell me if the mounting screws from the fiberglass tail light housing panel to the original steel panel are painted or not. Mine are rust colored which would lead me to believe natural color. Thanks Bill

How things change. My 18 year old nephew in filling out college entrance questionaires was asked "what is your definition of a geek" It cracked me up so much I had to share it: His answer: A person who has a high intelligence level and makes a ton of money. This would not have been mine.

While Arlie and I were stripping paint this weekend we came across this mark on the underside of the deck lid. (or the boot lid for some of you). Has anyone else found one of these?

Hey y'all, this week marks my 2 year anniversary. That would be 2 years from when I first started to take my GT/CS apart. It's coming along slow but sure. I've been very happy with the pace. I'm right on schedule cuz I don't have one. lol I updated my gallery to give y'all an idea of where...

You might be interested in this. This is no joke. Try this from Xerox. If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com , you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will...

I picked up two sets of door hinge pins the other day and have been looking at tech articles on replacing them. They seem to indicate it's an easy replacement. Have any of you replaced the hinge pins and if so are there any tips you can pass along? Thanks in advance Bill

Driving back to the hotel from work and I saw this at a shop. This is real not a photoshop image. The guy got in and drove away. It handled just like you would think it would a boat 3' high. It cracked me up and I thought I would share it with y'all

When I referbished my instrument cluster I noticed that the in dash blinker indicator lights had black covers installed at the factory essentially making them not functional. The repro had green indicator light covers Was this a GT/CS thing, a Deluxe hood item or a one off fluke? Do any of you...
