Hi All, With the recent thread about the reproduction grille on E-Bay. It got me to thinking, what would be the most difficult (original) CS specific part to find/replace? Here's my ranking- 1. Grille 2. Side Scoops 3. Trunk Lid 4. Marchal Fog Lights 5. Hood What do you think? -Jeff

Steve, The car looks great. I really like the way the engine turned out!! Can you let me know what you used as a finish on the exhaust manifolds? Thanks, Jeff

Hey all, Was just wondering how many of you have put a 331 or 347 in your CS? I just ordered a 347 long block (Ford Racing roller cam with Edelbrock heads...woo hoo!!!) I'm pretty excited about putting the rest of the engine and acessories together when it arrives. Also, I have a...

Joe, Hope you are doing OK. Get well soon. -Jeff

Mike, I plan on getting up there again this year. Should be lotsa fun. I have a bit of an issue ;-) There's no motor in the car!! The CS should be together by then. I can't decide what to do with the motor. I'm still leaning toward a 347. Will have to make a decision soon. In the meantime...

Yes. It is made of copper. Was this used as a grounding location while the cars were rolling down the assembly line?

Ok...one more. She's upset because she can't fit into any of these three cars.

Paul, My caption falls under the "trying to be funny" category... To me, she looks kid of "angry"...maybe at her man, although could be mad at her girlfriend, too. Perhaps because, as CS owners, we sometimes give our cars more attention than our wives/girlfriends/SO's. She could also be...

Hi all, Does anyone know what the little "hanger" is used for that is on the cowl under the hood? It's kind of close to the passenger side hood hinge. Here's a link to a pic of my engine bay in my gallery- http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=972 Thanks, Jeff

Gary, Post the door tag info and we can decipher the interior options for you. If it shows 2B (standard bucket blue interior) or 2D (standard bucket red interior) you have a truly rare color combo. My Mustangs by the Numbers book says that there were very few of these made...1 and 2...

Limelyt, Interior colors and codes are completely independent and different than exterior paint colors. Mine is Tahoe Turquoise exterior and Aqua interior...close, but not the same. Other "blue based exteriors (acapulco blue, britney blue, etc.)" might have had Aqua interior (or any other...

Steve, Were the boosters painted black from the factory? If so, flat or gloss? -Jeff

Follow-up. No luck with my local shop. (it was going to be a convoluted process that I didn't feel like enduring). After some more searching, I found http://www.ppgcarpaint.com and ordered the shaker can size of what I need. Not cheap, but that's the way it goes. -Jeff

So, I'm looking at my center console... If we are talking about non- AC (which my car is), the console sides go deeper towards the firewall? ...trying to understand what the difference is. -Jeff

Hi all, I was in the neighborhood of Delta Bay Mustang today and stopped in there for the first time. Very cool setup that the owner Tom Cruz has there in Brentwood. It's essentially a large out building on his property. A substantial amount of his inventory is out on rows of racks (like...

Steve, I'll try my local paint shop and see if they offer the aerosol can paint match. Arlie, I had considered the paint thinner approach of carefully removing the black paint layer. But I saw that there was some deep scratches and changed course. It's a good idea though...especially if...

Hi all, In keeping with the slippery slope theme that is the engine bay of my CS...(it's a good thing...don't get me wrong ;-) I'm looking to color match (with the exterior) the inside (hidden when the hood is closed) portion of the fenders and cowl that should be the color of the outside of...

Hey Steve, I'm guessing tinner rivets are correct? Where can you get these type rivets (for purposes of "making" a CS grill from a '67 grill? -Jeff

Paul, Jason has this documented in the Restoration Reference section- http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/t2784-grill-detailing.html -Jeff

David, Thanks for the info. -Jeff
