    1968 Trunk Tailight Filler Cardboard

    I am almost done with my Trunk and interior refresh. It is looking good. One more task left that I have been putting off is installing the trunk mat and the cardboard filler panels. Two questions. 1) The creases at the bottom of the panels. Based on the old ones, it appears that they...

    1968 Console Installation - Front Pad

    I was wondering about something like that. Then my perverted mind thought about a bead of black caulk. (LOL)

    1968 Console Installation - Front Pad

    The clips are part of the whole backing metal backing plate for the pad.

    1968 Console Installation - Front Pad

    I am having a problem with the fitment of the front pad up against the dash at the top of the pad. Their is a significant gap at the top and the two attaching tabs are quite visible. The tabs I am referring to are the ones circled in the attached picture. On VMF, I have been told that this is...

    Wanted Wanted 1968 rear defogger switch

    Mine is mounted immediately to the right of the fog light switch. It is the same one that West Coast Classic Cougar has. The dash has the two holes for it. One for the bolt and the other one for the tab that keeps the bracket straight.

    1968 Shelby 10 Spoke Wheels

    Not sure why you think the tires would be too big. Height? Width? Circumference? Or, just appearance?

    1968 Shelby 10 Spoke Wheels

    That seems like a very good price. The question is, are these true Shelby ten-spoke reproductions? Obviously, the center caps are not. I wonder how much I could sell (locally) my five pristine, 14" chrome styled steel wheels with new GT caps and almost new Cooper Cobra tires for?????

    1968 Short Radio Knobs

    I thought I read somewhere that the shafts on the console equipped radio were longer than a non-console one. Maybe I dreamed it

    1968 Air/Heat actuators

    So I put in the other three vacuum actuators today. The two behind the ashtray were tougher than the ones on the passenger side but not too bad. Tested them and they are all good. Actually, the old ones seemed to be working okay. I have the cluster, ashtray, console and radio out so there...

    1968 Center A/C Outlet

    I want to have my center A/C outlet re-chromed as it has a little pitting. Does anyone know what the trick is to get the louvers out of the housing without risk of harming them? Do they exit from the rear or from the front of the housing? Thanks. Dave

    1968 Air/Heat actuators

    So, the one easy to get to on the right side heater box was a bit sluggish when I tested it but was working using a vacuum line from my daily driver. Put the new one in and it works very well. Interestingly, the vacuum line set was out of stock at NPD last weekend. All of a sudden it was...

    1968 1968 Console Insert

    He had a "make an offer" option so I got him down from his clever price of $67.68 to $50. The GT/CS I had back in the 2001-2005 time frame did not have these inserts either. I did not lose any points for that at a Mustang Grand National Show in the Concours Trailered class. Hmmm.

    1968 1968 Console Insert

    No. But at that price for used, I think I will pass. Maybe I can make them out of an inner tube. :grin:

    1968 1968 Console Insert

    Another question as I continue to freshen up my interior.... My console insert has some pitting on the chrome edges that I want to get fixed. So, I guess I will have to send it away to someone who can do it. Any recommendations? Currently, the pockets for the seat belts are painted black...
