    1968 Ford California Special patch

    Probably not vintage 1968. Maybe created for one of the modern GT/CS's? Type face is way off, and off putting, for me.

    Another Bad Idea?

    Looks like a trail fix, on a 4x4.

    1968 Firewall Insulation

    I am not sure, but I can share that the insulation suppliers for Dearborn and San Jose was different. We get asked for 'good used' San Jose insulation on a regular basis. Primarily for the Shelby crowd. We never have anything worth piecing together.

    1968 1968 Ford Mustang California Special California Special Fastback - H $99,900.00

    The fastback started life as a Deluxe Coupe from Dearborn. Meaning the roof was grafted on. The convertible is OK, I would have gone a different direction with the engine. I really like the GT/CS convertible restomod that Troy (cobra68) did.

    For Sale 1968 GTCS Red C Code 289 4 Speed

    I would have liked to have seen the Marti Report that they have. Was the clutch pedal heated with a torch, and bent, to clear the automatic brake pedal?

    1968 Doors won’t open

    The door latches can get worn out or gummed up with old grease. There is also a spring that can break. After 55 years, it is probably time to remove and detail clean, test, adjust rod linkages as Neil suggested. Use a fresh lubricant, I like Sil Glyde, it works really well on door and window...

    SOLD NOS 1968 California Special script badges

    Those fasteners are also called 'ribbon nuts'. They come in various sizes. I will see if I can get a measurement on my NOS set.

    1968 Aftermarket A/C Bracket Color

    Arlie, it looks like you could use a slightly longer fan spacer? Blades should be approximatley 1/2 inside of the fan shroud. Picture is cut off, but looks like fan is mostly outside? Maybe yes, maybe no?

    1968 Need electrical advice! No turn signals, brake lights or dash lights!

    On the radio wiring plug, (the one with two female plugs, blue) has two power leads. One lead is for radio power, the other is for illumination of the dial. Lots of people confuse the wire pair as positive and negative.

    Are you saying everything went kablooey, after you hooked up the radio?
