    1968 Tall people beware!!

    Tilt steering column should do. I am 6'04" and can not drive a standard Trans very well with a stock steering column and wheel. I found the Tilt Away steering column one click up from center is all that was needed to drive the car without any trouble. Size 15 feet as well. Mike

    1968 What screws to use on tail light panel?

    The screws shown below are the screw which fasten the bucket to the fiberglass. To the best of my knowledge, it is not reproduced and is an odd size. Possibly 12x14 fillister head screw. I have checked Thunderbird shops as well as NPD and can not find any. I would try to find your screws if...

    For Sale Highly Optioned J Code in need of restoration

    We have several in that date range and DSO which are Marti Verified GT/CSs. They seem to have built them in blocks according to DSO. I would be more inclined to assume it is a real GT/CS and not a clone. looking at the car below, one might think "There is no way that is a real CS", but it...

    1968 Side scoops

    It is my honest opinion Ford did not silicone the side scoops. I have seen many CS cars, Original, unrestored, or taken apart, and I have yet to see evidence on CSs there was any silicone used.

    Wow Bummer. As long as no one was hurt, all is good. Pride will heal without a scar, just wisdom. I did that once with a 396 Chevy into a 65' Impala. It can happen to the best of us. Mike
