In the second link it shows carpet installation and the use of a dimmer switch grommet. Our cars did not use the grommet. Just cut a tight fitting hole in the carpet for the dimmer switch. I have deducted many times for the grommet at MCA national shows.

It looks like it turned out real nice. There is a great drawing in the interior 68 Mustang assembly manual. I think there may be some thing also in the 68 service manual. Marty

I think he is working on front drums.

If you are talking about the studs that hold the lug nuts they are pressed in.

Good to have you back Steve. Wish you and your wife the best in 2020. Marty

Hey John congrats on the nice article about your car in the Mustang Times. Marty

I think I would forget to give that one back. Man that is nice!

I am late on a up date. I got it back from paint 3 week ago. Assembly is going well. I got it on it's wheels yesterday. Today I installed the head liner. More to come.

That is a great gift. Enjoy.

The breaker bar will work, most likely will snap the stud. Electric impacts are the way to go. You can take them with you to the junk yard.

I use a pipe wrench on the shock body and a 1/2 drive impact on the nut. It will either come off or break.

The 656 was is the correct light for the GT/CS. The Marchal 653 differs by the number stamped in the top of the housing and originally used halogen bulbs. The 656 used Quartz iodine bulbs. Unless you are building a high end concours car I would keep the 653s that you have.

You would be correct. Mostly in and out of the trailer. The owner has owned it for 30 years as a pile of parts. He has dreamed of restoring it to this level for a long time. I was very honored to do the restoration for him. He has only driven it once since it was done do to his age. It is a very...

Way too much money!

Do you intend to drive it in a way that the extra HP would be important?

Yes welcome. I like the red/black combo on your car.

Reading through the options the car came with I noticed it had the $13.90 accent stripe. This was an additional option that put a fine stripe down the tops of the fenders, doors and quarter panels. It's a little odd along with the GT/CS stripes and was rarely ordered. The red HCS I sold last...

My other project is a 1968 390 GT coupe that was a basket case apart for all most 40 years. It is candy apple red with black C stripe and black interior and a 4 spd transmission. I have not taken many pictures of but in this one you can see I am all ready up side down in it. LOL I could not...

Rob's Cougar post inspired me to post some pictures of a 1968 428 CJ that I restored and finished last summer for a friend. It has a 4.30:1 rear axel. Man is it a hoot to drive, factory race car.

I had a bit of a problem with the choke piston. Dr. Rob was able to help me over the phone and I got it running today. I have a few bugs to work on but should be driving soon.
