    Seat Belts

    My GT/CS has the headliner third belt. Not sure about the Mustangs but I had a 70.5 Falcon (Torino body style) that had the headliner third belt in it. Very uncomfortable I might add. I seem to remember a discussion a ways back indicating the third belt was added sometime after the 68 year...

    Console, steering wheel resto.

    EXACTLY, that should give a little creedence to them being original. I believe mine is still in great shape. I will be keeping it as is for my restoration.

    Rocker Panel Molding Clips

    I recently removed mine also. The nut on the inside fender is very close to the rear splash shield. The rest were pop rivited clips. I used a gasket scraper and gently pried. They popped off easily. They can't be that expensive. For a trouble free replacement I would replace them all at...

    Console, steering wheel resto.

    I took a few photos but I think these two represent what you are asking. I think it's interesting that at the knot a half hitch was used prior to tying the knot. Also a granny knot was used to keep the loose ends in line with the wheel. A square knot would have made the loose ends...

    Console, steering wheel resto.

    Brian posted "Pauls second book about Steering wheel covers" "some discussion about if a steering wheel cover was "original" equip". I believe the steering wheel cover on my car may be original. If not it was probably added immediately by the first owner. It is very obvious it has been there...

    Light/Ignition switches

    Paul, Thanks for the offer. I was able to use two screwdrivers carefully and remove the ignition bezel. It turns out it wasn't very tight. I would love to borrow your bezel tool when it comes time to reinstall. As it turned out I had to remove the wire harness before I could get the right...

    GT/CS Restoration video

    I for one read this thread for the humor value. No reputable salesman would ever treat a possible fleet sales oportunity with flippant dissregard of knowledge and disrespect to persons as this individual has. It should be quite clear to all this person is selling garbage, if he has a product...

    Light/Ignition switches

    I'm in need of help again..... Still. I have been disassembling my dash. I am happy to report the dash pad came off in one piece and will be reinstalled as is. I'm having trouble with the light and ignition switches. My books say to push a button on the bottom of the light switch behind...

    Removing Decklid Hinge ?

    Well for better or worse I took them off. This is what I found. Both of my rods were in the middle slots. The drivers side fwd to passenger side aft rod was on top. The rods appear to be the same but when held next to each other are different. This may be from being under torque all these...

Deck lid filler panel, both Pass floor boards, both sides under rear seat, Dr side rear floor panel, between fuel tank and tail light panel and one spot about the size of a dollar coin on the top portion...

    Removing Decklid Hinge ?

    I'm to the point of removing the decklid hinges. Should I be worried about them springing on me as I take off the bolts? Is there a secret that I need to know about? Thanks all Bill

    Black Plates

    My car still has the original California plates although I live in Texas. If you wanted to trade, I could use your Texas plates on my car. It would look cool rolling down the road with black plates once I finish my restoration. Here in Texas you can use older plates as long as they were for...
