So here is what I currently have planned to do to the drive train in my CS (all parts in hand but I say currently b/c we all know how things change). After so much time spent scouring the web for deals I am happy to finally have almost all I need to freshen up my engine and rebuild the trans...

With people starting to get their copies I thought it'd be cool to start a thread where your thoughts of the new GT/CS book/registry could shared. Please start sharing folks, I can't wait to get my copy and I'm sure others are chompin' at the bit to hear about it too! :icon_ecst Thanks! Oscar

I was just catching up on a few threads and saw the one asking about putting on '66 289 heads on a '68 289 and remembered that I had two old scans I'd found last yr on the Carbd Ford Forums while doing some research that might be useful here. I apologize if I already posted these somewhere else...

I'd like to get some opinions on what I should do here. I bought a set of four supposedly NOS, k, stop laughing y'all, '67 Styled steel wheel center caps thru ebay and although per the pics they are not in any packaging they do appear new. Well, got them in the mail yesterday and yep, no Ford...

Rubber type sealler applied to both front and rear windshield seals, under the molding. :mad: Now that I'm getting ready to begin bodywork and get a paint job I'm making note of all the stuff that'll need to come off. Well, didn't think about it until the other day but I don't really know how to...

I've been afraid that one day I'm gonna put my dunce cap on and break my repop orig style telescopic antenna. I've almost done it a few times putting on or taking off a car cover that I even customized a special portal for the antenna on aka popped a small hole in it then ripped it wide open...

Saw hotrodgrany's post in the Off Topic forum and thought I'd post one here as I'm sure there are some of us that don't venture much past the GT/CS and HCS Forums, I'm guilty of being one of 'em. :flag: Don't forget our troops stationed all over our world and of course all of those who have...

Have been thinking about the manual drum brakes in my CS and how I can upgrade or improve on them w/o having to spend money on a pricey disc conversion and was wondering if going from the stock drum brake widths on my c-code to what was used on the big blocks and if that alone would make any...

Late this afternoon the doorbell rang and it was a young kid, driving a brand new Camaro btw, who wanted to buy my CS and/or my Dad's '66 coupe. Before he could finish his first sentence I told him "Neither of the Mustangs are for sale, sorry." He really wanted the CS though and asked what I'd...

Hi all! I have been getting back to things on my CS recently and'll post later what I've done in the past couple of months but for now I wanted to get some thoughts on converting my 2v 289 to a 4v. Being on a tight budget and seeing the bottom end is good (will be doing compression checks and...

Hi all. I'm getting ready to do some more work on the steering system on my 68 GT/CS c code with power steering. The work includes replacing the steering gear box and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on swapping it out. I have an original Ford shop manual and it seems pretty...

Hi all, I uploaded onto YouTube.com a 9 min video I took at the GT/CS 40th anniversary event at Galpin Auto Sports of Paul's acceptance speech for his receiving the Lee Iococca Award for all his hard work and dedication to preserving the heritage of our wonderful GT/California Specials. The...

Hi all, Thank you Paul for mailing me a hard copy of the GAS 40th event flyer. I've scanned it and created a PDF copy of it which is very readable and can be printed out or emailed to give to anyone interested in going who doesn't access this great site. Thanks again Paul and I look forward...

Hi all, I thought I had posted this before but after looking realized I hadn't. I have up on ebay a nice set of original tail light housings and bezels for the '68 GT/CS or Shelby cars, OK, and the '65 Thunderbird, can't forget where they actually came from. It is just for the original...

A buddy of mine send me this the other day and thought I'd share it. If you dig offroading you'll really like this, check it out here (there is also a download link if you want to save it in .wmv format, it's about 5.5mb in size)...

I'm sure some of you have seen this but if not and you're in the market for a replacement stripe kit for your '68 GT/CS at more than half of what others are selling them for, this seller has 3 available for a Buy It Now price of $38.50 each plus shipping. I'm not sure if they're 3m brand or not...

Hi all! I've finally closed the deal on the '68 GT/CS I was whinin' so much about earlier this week and last and had a question on paint or stripe color samples on the portion of the stripe that goes across the edge of the trunklid/spoiler. I'm picking up the car and trailering it home the 150...
