    AM radio help??

    Almost all my original radio wires have been cut or modified to make way for a newer model, but I'm going to put back the original AM Philco. I noticed the Philco only has 2 plugs (yellow/grey and black/dk green) and the antenna hole. My car still has the yellow/grey plug, but not the black/dk...

    New bezels and lens

    This last weekend I just put on new red lens(repro) and the new black/chrome bezels. I took some advice from the forum & used some steel wool (000) and some paint remover and removed the black trim. It took some elbow grease but the paint came off without damaging the chrome. The all chrome...

    Tail light bezel(metal frame)

    I noticed on my car and other CS's that the metal frame bezel on the tail light is chrome with black trim. I saw an unrestored CS and noticed their bezel was ALL chrome (no black trim). Which is correct? Was the all chrome model just made for the Shelby and our car vs. the '65 T-bird?

    Two GT/CS's together today!

    Thanks to this board I met another owner who lives 20 minutes away from me. Robert and I met up today and talked shop and took lots of photos. Our cars were both built on the same day too--WOW! We're in Northern, CA if there are other owners that would like to meet as well. It is great to...

    My Lucas lights and pedestal

    I've been looking at photos of different GT/CS and looking at my front grille area and I notice some differences. My Lucas foglights are mounted on chrome rectangular pedestals and not tubular ones. Also, my grille area by the pedestals are flat black and not painted the color of the car. Is...

    GT/CS in print--errors?!

    I just came back from my local Border's books and saw a couple of Mustang books that had photos and info on our car. Both books (maybe even three) mentioned that the GT/CS had sequential rear lights and that the hubcaps shouldnot say GT they should be plain. They also said there were about...

    The dash roll-top thing

    Well I couldn't figure out why my "new" '68 Philco wouldn't fit, so I went back to where I bought it. I guess my radio (chrome) bracket thing that has the roll-top door was cut/modified. The two holes where yah put the knobs into have been modified for a non-stock stereo. So...I need to buy a...

    Instrument bezel/cluster

    I bought a replacement instrument bezel/cluster for my car and I'm having difficulties removing the old one. I removed all the screws(top & bottom ones) and it doesn't want to pull out too far. I assume the speedo cable is stopping it from coming out!?! If so, how do I get in the dash area to...

    Fog light pull switch

    Someone just told me that the foglight switch on my car was moved from its original spot. On my car it was next to the emergency brake pull lever. I was told it should go by the ashtray. Is this true? If so exactly where? Any pics? Thanks!
