Ouch! Sorry to see that, Brad. Hopefully it won't cost you too much to fix it. -Winston

Oh, I'll be sticking around. The Mustang bug is here to stay for me, and if I happen across another GT/CS (especially a fixer-upper) there's a good chance I'll bite. The wife really wants a '65-'66 convertible, though I don't suppose I can complain about that! ;D -Winston

Okay, here are a few pictures that I took from the road of our "new" house (the closing date isn't until June 13th, so I can't go in the house or on the property without asking). Note the 960 sqft garage/workshop to the right of the house. Unfortunately, the other red garage to the right of that...

There are laws concerning fair use of copyrighted materials. However, I think that Ford would have a case against online reproduction of the entire manual, because that could potentially affect the sales of their product -- a no-no if you're claiming "fair use." All in all, I think it's a bad...

In a lot of cases, old service manuals are in the public domain -- and therefore free to copy, sell, and distribute. That's why you see many of them on eBay in CD format. Unless a manufacturer keeps the copyright renewed, which many don't on discontinued products, then it becomes public domain...

Well, I haven't quite decided that yet. I may go with the pure open top, and if it happens to shower when I'm driving it I doubt that I'll care! The open top design will be easier to build, less expensive (convertible top = $$$), and it'll leave more room for things like luggage. I plan on doing...

:D Haha! Didn't know that was your car. Don't look in your garage ;) -Winston

Nooooo, I'm not chopping up an original Mustang -- especially not a convertible! The roadster will consist of a hand-laid fiberglass body using classic Mustang styling cues. I'll probably use some reproduction pieces for parts when I can, such as headlight buckets and Tony Branda fiberglass. It...

Okay, I can't stand it anymore. My idea is really taking shape (good thing ideas are free) and I want to share! Here is a photo from the Gallery (my apologies to the owner) that I hacked up to approximate my vision of the Route 66 Roadster:

You can bet on seeing some pics! You all can drool over the 960 sqft garage/workshop ;D All of that room and no project cars to put in it... for now. Oh, and earlier I hinted at a GT/CS project. Here's another teaser: Route 66 Roadster ;) I'm in Houston, so if anybody wants to drop by feel...

Yeah, you're looking at $2k minimum value. I would actually place it at around $3000 if it were mostly complete but just rusty and non-running. That price is based on the few I've seen in that condition, assuming a large target buying audience (i.e. eBay). Ron is right, offer something like $500...

I took a look at it too. It looked very nice, and I didn't notice any incorrect GT/CS items. I could do without the velour seats, though, but that's a fairly cheap fix if you feel the same way. Complete interior kits can be had for around $550, so just the seat covers would probably only cost...

The Special is sold! ;D :'( Congrats to the site member who shall remain nameless, unless they decide to come forward. -Winston

Well, it's a money thing, plain and simple. We need cash to buy our dream home, and we're selling the Cal Special to help with that. We don't want to sell the GT/CS, but it's a necessary evil in order to get something that both my wife and I really want. We feel that the sacrifices we're making...

I'll get a newer shot of the tail, some interior shots, and some shots of the engine bay up by this weekend. I would like to point out that the pictures make the paint look better than it actually is. Oh, and yes those side stripes are painted on!! ::) -Winston
