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...

If you do a search for relay's you will find other posts regarding similar issues. A relay will send a full 12 Volts to your lights but uses the light switch to activate the relay thus isolating your switch from the full amp draw. I also recollect something about flashing or pulsing lights...

I just just pulled mine off the shelf and looked at it. The only number I see looks like a "O-632-A" (that O might be a G but it's hard to tell) which is stamped into the bottom (dash side) of the crosspiece about an inch from the metal hub insrt portions. I didn't remove the horn assembley...

Mine won't have an official name until after she's on the road. Right now her name is Robin unless it just doesn't fit her disposition.

Now that you have it open I would try to clean and re-grease it so it operates as smoothly as possible. A big screwdriver will work to move the mechanism to lock position without shutting the door. It could just be a little grit and no lube. Side note, it doesn't take a LOT of lube, just a...

I will offer the following explanation. George the hole drilling/punching guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He always does the right side first. Starts, says Aw S..t, I did it again and keeps going fixing it right for the other side. Does a bunch correctly, has a few beers at lunch...

When I was ten my bike was named Floyd. Not sure how that fits into the road rage thing???? I don't give much credence to that theory. My road rage is caused by the @$#&^@@* drivers out there. Not from my self or my vehicle. (OK maybe me a little) My favorite is the guy in the fast lane...

Wow, That suckers BIG. I'm not sure, but I'd guess that would interfere with a monte carlo bar also. I agree with not being crazy about the look. I hope I won't hurt your feelings but I'm going to pass and keep searching for something a little smaller. Thanks a bunch for the photo, they...

Rich, I'll be looking for an electronic igniton for my 289 when I get to that point. Is the distributor your removing electronic? Anyone have a used one they want to get rid of? Just to be up front, I'm keeping all the original bits and pieces in case I ever want to put them back on. Bill

I thought only the 68 Mustangs with A/C or 390/428 came with the shroud. So I looked it up. It appears that 390/428, 289/302 cars with A/C, 289 hipo, and all cars with standard transmission came with fan shrouds. It also lists "with extra cooling" but I'm not familiar with this option? My 289...

I bought a complete Painless wiring kit for my car. Alas, I haven't gotten to play with it yet. Wiring will be one of the first things to go on the car when I get it back. If you go with the painless system let us know how it turns out.

Robert, this last statement brings up an interesting way of looking at things. If the first 14 were not listed as GT/CS cars on the Marti, it could be very possible that an original (1 of 14) has been found, not verified by Marti and then condidered "just a really good clone" and sold or owned...

I vote for a Coors light and a can of sour cream and onion Pringles.

Y'all correct me if I'm wrong, like I need to say that! The washer for your hood pins can be moved to center your pin over the engagement thingy below ( I know it has a name??). I haven't had to reinstall mine yet but have given a little thought to it. I would use a 1/4 to 1/2" wooden dowel...

He expects about three months. He will be doing the final bodywork, adjusting a few things for me and putting an awesome coat of Alcapulco blue base/clearcoat on it for me. That's it, after that I bring it home and start the fun. Putting it all back together. For this complete project I have...

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...

If no one else gets to this before this weekend I will be able to do it and post then.

How about Dr. Hook - on the cover of the rolling stone

I used a new door shell on my car for the drivers side. It fit surprisingly well. We did have to massage it a bit. It had a little twist we had to get out of it and the door striker post (in the pillar) had to be moved a little farther than stock adjustment would allow. I bought my door from...

Or the wrong side of the car wondering how you got there. My car isn't on the road so I can't answer this directly. I had a 1970.5 Falcon with the same belt arrangement and always wore the lap and never wore the shoulder belts. I am seriously looking into using a modern day shoulder belt type...
