Yes, it's original paint, but it's mostly gone on the outside surface of the trunk. What's left is pretty chalky. I might start with just some hand block sanding and see how it goes. The underside of the trunk has good paint, so I'll just scuff and paint over it. Same with my tail light cover...

What's the best way to strip paint off our factory fiberglass parts like the trunk lid, trunk extensions, tail light panel and side scoops? I've been browsing some Corvette forums since they have all fiberglass panels, but I'm seeing some conflicting info. Some say to stay away from chemical...

I have ordered my proof copy, but it will take about 2 weeks to get to me. I can give you the link now, but you'd be buying somewhat at risk since I haven't seen the printed proof yet. https://www.lulu.com/shop/jon-hanna/2024-californiaspecialcom-calendar/paperback/product-nvd2rwp.html Also...

I moved the thread Neil, so we're good continuing the discussion here. Not sure why it was in the "Restoration" section in the first place actually.

That's very cool. I love to see the site bringing people together like this.

Here are the photos for this year. Since we have exactly the number needed, I won't set up the voting this year. I'll just get each of the 12 owners' preference on month and work it out from there. Thanks again everyone! https://californiaspecial.com/calendar2024.htm

We did do a tribute in last year's calendar.

Thanks everyone. We have enough photos. I'll post them tomorrow evening.

Thanks everyone! We have 10 photos submitted. If @cmacias24 can get one in the next day or two we'll have 11. So hopefully we can get one more. I wish I had a pic of my '68 HCS to help fill in that last spot, but it's completely torn apart in the garage right now. I'll check if Dan Teets has...

Anyone can create a poll, but it has to be done when creating a new thread. You can't add a poll as a post in the middle of a conversation.

Just a reminder to send in your photo for the calendar. We currently have 4 submitted. Need at least 12 to make the calendar happen.

Definitely not a factory or Ford produced item. This is just someone creating patches and selling them. See the other items for sale by that ebay seller. All variations of the same thing.

I was just coming to post this. ;) https://californiaspecial.com/forums/threads/call-for-photos-submit-your-pics-for-the-2024-cs-calendar-deadline-oct-14-2023.14607/

Hard to believe, but it's already time to start submitting photos for the next CS.com wall calendar! So here's the official call for entries. Please submit your photo no later than Sat Oct 14, 2023. We'll all vote on the photos and the top 12 will be used. They'll be on sale in time to get...

Winning bid was $25,501

Adding a couple more pictures for posterity.

The last time I bought a new Ford (my F-150 back in 2014) I had a Ford employee generously give me a PIN for "X-plan" pricing. He's since retired, but I'm wondering if the "X-plan" process still works the same. The special pricing wasn't a huge discount, but eliminated all negotiations and cut...

NPD now has that paint back in stock, so I placed an order and will post the results back in a week or so.

Yeah, I just now took the housing off the PS pump so I could clean it better, and there was a lot of clear silicone around the main O ring. I'm guessing the factory did not use sealant. That combined with the missing tag suggests this pump has been rebuilt by the previous owner. The blue color...
