    1968 Replacing all wiring?

    With the painless kit you will find that you need to use some of the original connectors etc. For a great looking job. Things like blinker light plugs, cig lighter slip on fitting and the fuel tank slip on connector at the tank come right to mind. Other stuff will come up. I also installed...

    1968 To Rotisserie or not???

    Pulling the engine is not really that much more effort for a project of your scope. Pull the engine and tranny. You'll be glad you did. It's so much easier to get in there to do brake lines (if needed) access all your steering from top and bottom. And you get to detail your engine...

    1968 Replacing all wiring?

    I also installed the Painless wiring front to back. And I also used the original taillight harness. It was well laid out and easily identifiable. Each wire has a number and label telling you what it's for and the tech support is top notch. Those guys know their product and are very helpful...

    1968 Vinyl top wrinkles

    I've never done one but thought I would comment. Seems to me since the weather is most likely not your friend at the moment, couldn't you lay it out on top of the car in the correct location and then lay a heavy blanket on top for a few weeks? Check and stretch it evey couple of days. Just a...

    1968 Where to find Marchal parts?

    Keep your eyes on e-bay. They come up from time to time for various prices depending on what quality and condition you are looking for. A good chrome shop can polish the fronts up pretty easily

    . Modest Dream Garage

    On top of the former recommendations, I would also recommend you install a sink with H&C water. I have one in my garage and it really comes in handy.

    Xerox is doing something cool

    I don't pass on many things like this, but it doesn't take much time and if it could lift a soldiers spirits this Christmas season just a little bit, it would be worth it. If you go to this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and...

    1966-67 HCS Restoration Questions

    First, thanks for the compliment Rob. I did a complete ground up restoration and spent a lot of time, start to finish pondering on just this topic, stock, go for it, somewhere in the middle. I was, as you are, extremely fortunate that I was in a position to make the call, problem was which way...

You never know they may have what they need to make the keys for you or be able to get you in the right direction to get it done locally. Ford type key blanks can be purchased from e-bay etc. with the...

    1968 Shock Tower Brackets

    Are these brackets supposed to be natural or painted black for a San Jose car such as ours? While out at a car show today we ran into a beautiful GT/CS that lives in Nacadoches Texas. Photo attached. While discussing different CS related items we spoke about the shock tower brackets, you...

    Arlie and I attended a car show last weekend at Lake Livingston, Texas. I attached a couple photos. It was really rewarding to see groups of folks admiring the cars. There were almost 200 cars, trucks and bikes entered. Some really nice, some not.
