I'm finally getting back to work on my '68 HCS and having issues with the brakes. The car sat for several years and the brakes were shot. I could only get brake fluid to come out of 1 of the 4 bleeders. So I replaced the soft lines, blew out the hard lines, replaced the master cylinder, front...

Hard to believe, but it's already time to start submitting photos for the next CS.com wall calendar! I'm always surprised at how fast this sneaks up on me, but frankly this year I'm happy to put 2020 behind us and start focusing on 2021! So here's the official call for entries. Please submit...

The 2020 CaliforniaSpecial Calendars are now on sale! PLEASE READ: You'll be buying directly from the printer rather than me ordering them in bulk and then shipping to you. Unfortunately the bulk pricing went through the roof so it just doesn't make sense to do it that way any more. The...

This isn't the first Mustang kit Lego has put out, but it's the most detailed. Too bad my kids have outgrown Legos. I may still have to get one. :grin: They call it a "1960's Mustang", but looks a lot like a '67-'68 fastback to me...

I finally had a chance to spend most of the day working on my 68 HCS, but unfortunately I didn't get very far. I spent the whole time on brakes and at the end of the day I can only get my driver's front bleeder to bleed. The rest I can't get any fluid out of. On my passenger front (factory...

Is anyone planning on going to Fab Fords this year? (at Knotts Berry Farm, Buena Park CA) I just registered my HCS. It's risky and I'm not sure what people will think since it's in really rough shape, rust and all. And it will look even worse sitting next to perfectly restored examples! But I...

My '68 HCS moved under it's own power today for the first time in more than a decade! It's not road worthy yet, but I backed it out of the side yard and into the garage, where I can hopefully get some real work done on her. I got the engine running 3 years ago (here's that thread) but then my...

I know it sounds crazy, but it's already that time of year again to start collecting photos for the CS.com wall calendar. But last year we barely got enough entries to fill all 12 months. So my question is, do we still want to do one this year? I don't want to get everyone's hopes up and then...

Yeah!!! The Photo Gallery is now fixed. After being down for way too long, the Photo Gallery feature of the site is now fixed. The original software developer disappeared a while ago and left no way of getting support on his product. But I was finally able to find someone who has the skills...

I have moved the site to a new web server. Hopefully this will eliminate the sporadic, and very frustrating downtime that the last server had. Because of the way the internet works, it may take up to 24 hrs for everyone around the world to see the change. As usual with a big move like this...

One of my Christmas presents this year is tickets to the "vault" tour at the Petersen Museum, so I'm going this week. As often as I've been to LA I've somehow managed to miss this museum, so I'm pretty excited to check it out with my boys. I can't take photos of "the vault" portion of the tour...
