The ad has been deleted. (Sold?) Tim's Black GT/CS is what inspired me to do mine in Black/Gold. Neil

You can't beat good times like that. Neil

Some folks have asked about my latest project, a '68 Convertible I've done for a friend in Miami. 289, A/T, P/S, P/B, A/C. Neil

The seller is dreaming at that price. Obviously no clue of what it costs to restore, not to mention the labor. Neil

I'm spoiled, and prefer the 'creature comforts', P/S, P/B, and A/T. And these do add value to the car. Borgeson P/S easy enough to add, and adding a P/B booster (retaining drum brakes) is much less expensive than converting to disc brakes. And they work quite well for an occasional weekend...

Excellent. I wish I had the foresight when I built my shop. At my age (81) the ROI just isn't there. Enjoy. Neil

Steve; My GT/CS Marker lites come on with just the Headlite switch as well. My convertible is a Metuchen build as contrast to the San Jose build. Wiring should be the same for either plant. Go figure. Neil

Rob; The '68 grill has too many tabs for mounting the corrals & running horse. A '67 grill can be modified to a CS type. Mike used to do this. Neil

I just made an interesting discovery. The side Marker Lights don't come on unless the Ignition Switch is in the Run (or Acc) position. I'm going to check my other '68 to see if its the same. Anyone else find this quirk? Neil

Ditto. Neil

Arlie; Perfect. I do have all the extraneous pieces (new wheel, center piece, buttons, trim piece). Let me know cost and I'll take care of it. Mailing address: Neil Hoppe 668 Harrison Ave Franklin, NC 28734 Thank you, Neil

While we're on the subject: I also need a horn pad. Color doesn't matter. I can dye it Black if necessary. Neil

No repros. E-Bay has them on occasion. Neil

Marti verification? Anyone close enough to look it over? (I'm about done with my '68 convertible project. You know what they say about idle hands.) Neil

Power for the tail & parking lights comes from the Headlight switch. (Circuit #11 for the parking lights, circuit #14 for the tail lights & tag light) There are two connectors behind the dash, on the left side. One feeds the front lights. The other connector feeds the tail lights. Also- bear in...

I have a brand new, complete shifter for A/T consoles, and a shift indicator bezel. IIRC, the shifter (new) cost $200+/-. Neil

A super nice driver. The glitches are easy fixes. Neil

Lots of good features on this car. The glitches are easy fixes. My only concern would be what it looks like under the vinyl top. Plus, I'd want to see the Marti Report. Neil

Thought I'd share this info for A/C systems in the '68 Mustangs. The A/C Control Switch is not reproduced, and the A/C system will not work without it. The circuitry for turning on the A/C goes as thus: 12volts from the A/C Control Panel goes thru the Evaporator Thermostat Switch and then to...

Someone sent me a message inquiring about a '68 lower console. Now, I can't find the message (or who it was from). It's not in my PM file. I wanted to inform the sender that they would also need a console shifter unit when adding an A/T console. Hopefully the sender will see this post, and can...
