The MCA Tucson Show is this weekend, and I was wondering if there will be any other 1968 GT/CS Mustangs, other than ours, entered in the show. My wife and I are taking our Mustang, which will be entered the the Trailered Concourse Class. We would enjoy meeting any California Special forum...

My wife and I just returned from the "Showdown at the Red Rock Corral", which was the MCA National show in St. George, UT. We had a great time and the show venue was the most beautiful ever. We took our lime gold GT/CS, which was entered the Concourse trailered class (along with ARMOND'S's...

Just wondering if any forum members will be attending the MCA show in St. George, UT. My wife and I will be taking our 1968 lime gold GT/CS and would love to meet members of this site. Russ

Jon, My calendars arrived today, and they turned out GREAT! I just want to thank you and compliment you for making this wonderful calendar, AND they arrived just in time for Christmas. Merry Christmas, all!!! Russ

My wife and I just returned from the MCA Awards ceremony, where our recently restored, lime gold GT/CS was awarded a concourse trailered gold award. The show venue at the Biltmore was fantastic and the show was very well organized. There were nearly 500 Mustangs placed in two large parking...

I just installed the side stripes on my GT/CS and thought I would share a "restoration tip". I used a laser level to insure the stripe went on perfectly straight, and the results were great. I used blue painters tape to mark where the stripe was to be placed rather than leaving the laser light...

Well, I've finally completed my lime gold GT/CS project vehicle, one day before its 42nd birthday!! I installed the side stripes today, and I'm very happy with the car. It took some time to get the hood and fenders to fit correctly, but with the help of a friend, everything fell into place...

Well, my goal was to have the car completed by the end of January, and I'm pleased to report that just the trim items and stripes need to be installed for the car to be finished. It FINALLY looks like a car!!! As I said in an earlier post, snow fell hard in Flagstaff last week (we still have 3...

why progress has slowed a bit on my lime gold GT/CS. I just had to share some photos of Flagstaff's latest winter storm. We have accumulated 25" of snow since Monday, and we are expecting another 36" by Friday!! As a result of these storms, I've been spending time blowing/shoveling snow...

Many of you probably know there are two types of Mustang console bases, but this was a new one on me. As I was restoring the console for my GT/CS, I found that Ford apparently made two distinctive console bases. One appears to have been used in Mustangs without factory A/C, while the other...

This past week has been a good one..... with all the holidays, visiting children and grand children and, of course, progress on my GT/CS. There are twenty-four inches of snow on the ground in Flagstaff so I can't work outside, so the GT/CS is getting some quality attention! The interior has...

I'm getting ready to mount the California Special script to the rear fenders and found that I don't have the correct fasteners that hold the script in place. I had to purchase repro script and no fasteners were included. Does anyone have a source for the original "push nut" type fasteners...

Since my last post, I've made some progress on my car. I wanted to complete the car by the end of November, but I didn't make that deadline. The motor is ready to start and I had a great day today when I checked out the electrical system...everything worked! The hood is going on tomorrow and...

As some of you have seen on the forum, I'm nearing completion of my lime gold GT/CS. I am in need of a good, black console to complete the restoration. I've been checking ebay for weeks and have not been able to purchase one that is in good condition. I have some parts, but they are not in...

I've been away for awhile and thought some of you might enjoy seeing the progress on my lime gold GT/CS (8R01J148913). The car was rescued from Flagstaff Auto Recyclers over 10 years ago, and is nearing completion...hopefully for the 2010 Knott's Show. The car is a nicely optioned car with PS...

I am reassembling my GT/CS and have just installed the Selectaire A/C. I think I have the vacuum lines installed correctly, but I was wondering if anyone has the diagram for the vacuum lines. I want to make sure the lines are correct before I complete the dash. Thanks, Russ

As I reassemble my latest GT/CS project (my lime gold GT/CS built on March 9), I find myself comparing my earlier car (the Highland green GT/CS built on Feb 14) with the later car. As I began to install the rear quarter window and the quarter window guide assembly (pn: C7ZB 6529752-3) into the...

I just returned from the MCA Grand National Show in Park City and wanted to report that some very nice GT/CS and HCS Mustangs were present at the show. Somethingspecial's beautiful Highland Green GT/CS took a Concourse Trailered Gold award and Bob Teet's beautiful red HCS took a second in...

Here is a photo of a trio of Mustangs in Flagstaff. The white CS belongs to my son-in-law. He picked up the car the day this photo was taken. He is home from Iraq (yea!) and he loves his new car. I'm standing by my red GT and a good friend, Marilyn, is standing by her new CS convertible...

Jon, I received my calendar(s) today and, once again, you did a great job! I know they will be a hit with our website group, and others who enjoy our cars. One of my calendars is going to my son-in-law, who is stationed in Iraq. He is a Mustang nut and will enjoy the calendar while he is...
