    I can already hear the groans but I noticed two things right off that we have discussed recently. 1. The steering wheel is wrapped just like mine. 2. It has a round base antennea, but more important to me, that's the same round base antennea my car has that I thought must have been after...

    Leaf Springs

    Is there a secret to taking leaf springs apart? Should I just outsource it, pick it up for blasting and clean-up and then have them reassemble. Just looking for opinions.

    Body Sealer - Tubes or cans?

    Hey Yall, I got my car back yesterday from the shop who primed it for me. They ended up using two gallons. How much body sealer did you guys who went ground up finally end up needing for your cars. The body shop will buy it at their price and add to my initial invoice. He will only do it now...

    GT/CS Owner History

    Casey, When I first got my GT/CS I called DMV to find out info on my car. I can only be vague here because I didn't persue it. I was told there is a form you can fill out, spend the money, and they will do a title search digging into microfish and their past records to find what info if any is...

    Shelby Dress Up Kit

    My Father was a Ford Dealer for many many years. He was very meticulus and expected his get ready guys to do a great job. He wanted return customers. My guess is they would have removed the chalk marks. As they are washing the cars and running them through the get ready phase these chalk...

    To Shroud or not to Shroud?

    My car has the 289 auto, no A/C, no shroud. 98% sure it never had one. My 67 I had years ago was 289 auto, no A/C, no shroud and I never had a problem overheating. That was is sunny Southern California.

    Fired up my GT/CS

    Hook, You forgot to mention the most important car tool of my youth. The jumper cables in the trunk! Those were the days of driving until you ran out of gas, parking the car when that happened, and then coming back in a week or whenever when you had $1 or 2 for gas to put 2,3,4,5 gallons in...

    Taillight Help Please

    Thanks Guys I was able to clean most of that out with a dental tool and some wd-40. The pins in the bottoms still have no spring. Maybe they will start to after the wd-40 soaks in for a little while. Just to be clear, you are suggesting swapping the complete sockets and then making certain they...

    GT/CS Clone Registry?

    Hook, you have brought up a very good point. Me, I'm just an avid enthusiast that owns one of these cars. I think it's all cool. Like it or not, clones are out there. Some look terrible and some are really sweet. To include them in a book doesn't change or promote that. I have been looking...
