Rob, I found this old thread. From what I see, this is what you did. Correct? http://californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62&highlight=dim+tail+lights

The tail light housing assembly. I figured I would need to get to the backside of it to re-engineer the ground. See attached.

I have a grounding problem with my tail/brake lights. The left side is dim. So, I found a good ground inside the trunk (bumper bolt) and when I attach a wire to it and run it to the outside of any one tailight socket, all three go to normal brightness. Can't find any other place to ground...

Thanks. My car was built on the 8th but scheduled for the 9th and the data plate shows it as the 9th.

My GT/CS was built on 2/8/68 - one day ahead of schedule. So, if I understand correctly, it would have been among the first 200 built by the 2/15/68 Introduction to dealers. Is that right? With a Vin of 140036, is there anyway to determine if it was say, the 99th, 130th or 189th built? With...

Thanks for the lead on the screw protectors. I know that the RH filler board (65-66 turned upside down) is not correct but there was one there and I figure what the heck. It was not secured by screws so no harm done. You had said that Ford did not put the weather strip on the inside spoiler...

Wow. Neil said you were good and he was not kidding. I will go ahead and order the Burtex plaid mat. I will order the correct decal for the SSW stowage as the one on there is for a regular wheel. I have the correct cupped washer but the PO had the jack handle holding the spare down. The...

Thanks. I don't see any bumpers so I am thinking that the short weather strip inside of the spoiler edges are the "bumpers" His mat looks to be the vinyl type.

It is so cold in the garage.... But anyway, I am starting to go through my GTCS to see what is right and wrong and started with the trunk. Couple of questions 1) Trunk mat. The one I have is somewhat aged plaid. I guess it is the "Burtex" style as it has a softer, almost cloth texture with a...

My Marti Report shows F70x14 wide oval nylon white stripe. I guess I thought that back then, the wide ovals were all polyglass. If I do go with the 15" 10 spokes, I would want to get period correct looking wide oval raised white letters. Maybe correct looking but radials. Was there one brand...

Neil, Thanks. So I guess my former GTCS was correct. Not sure how good the black insert will look on my black console. So, I guess I may just leave it alone. Or, I guess I could get some wood grain and cover the brushed aluminum. But I am pretty picky so I will probably go with the black...

My GTCS has the deluxe interior with a console (auto transmission). The center inserts for the console are brushed aluminum. Is this correct as all the dash "stuff" has the wood grain applique? Interestingly, my former GTCS had a black camera case insert while also having the deluxe interior...

I would probably go with period correct looking radial tires from Coker.

I am considering getting a set of Shelby 10 spokes for my GTCS that I just got. The GTCS I had back in the early 2000's came with them and I liked them. However, that car was switched over to the Styled Steele Wheels after I sold it. My new GTCS is Sunlit Gold so the gold on the Shelby spokes...

8R01J140036. Built on 2/9/68

Well, she made it to her new home. Started right up and it is minus three degrees out there. Pretty good for a Florida gal. The GTCS stripes are actually black but the flash on the camera turned them white.

Not sure but I am sure it would have to be an Illinois plate. I am going to check that out.

Not sure I understand. I would assume the prior owner took it off.

I am getting excited. The GTCS I purchased from joeymiami is about 2.5 hours away. Sam, the transport driver called from Akron this morning asking if if 8:00a tomorrow is too early. Are you kidding me? Then he called about an hour ago saying he had enough time left and could deliver it about...

Yes, this is the one
