    For Sale Gt/cs swag!

    I worked with Castiworx in California to do a rendering of my GT/CS recently. He put the design on his website for T-Shirts and Coffee Mugs in case anyone out there wants to get some GT/CS Swag! Much like my issue with being tall, finding cool GT/CS stuff is hard to find! LOL! Just wanted to...

    1968 Almost done!

    Been a long time since I've posted. Had meant to post a lot over the past year about the progress of the car but been too occupied! But you all know the story. Cut this out, weld this in, sand that, adjust the fiberglass, adjust the fiberglass again, then adjust it one more time. Ha! Just got...

    1968 Rocker molding removal?

    Has anyone out there gotten rid of the rocker molding when they restored their GTCS? Looking for pictures. I'm contemplating it but haven't found any pics of a GTCS without it. Wonder if it would not look right.

    1968 Driving a GT/CS...

    I've been able to log a few miles this summer in my GT/CS between mechanical bugs. I have never owned a car that gets so much attention. The other day I was in a parking lot and noticed a random Women taking photos of me. When the Women realized I saw this she drove up to me. Her comment...

    1968 Another one back on the road!

    Well it finally happened. I promised my son I would take him to the last day of Kindergarten in the GT/CS so I had to get it road worthy in time. Had to get an assist from a friend of mine that is a Mechanic to wrap it up. But we made it! Had to stay up to 2 am in order to wash off the barn...

    1968 Hood Scoop?

    Anyone put a hood scoop on their GT/CS? I'm running into a fitment issue with my 408 and might need to go that route or a different hood all together. Just wondering what it looks like. I'm thinking the Cobra Jet style. Just not sure if it looks odd with the blinker hood.

    1968 Getting somewhere!

    Still out there plugging away! Hope to be back on the road this coming summer. Just got the 408 and AOD tranny installed along with the Ford Powertrain Applications headers. Fit is a little tight but it works! Just need to do the 9" rear swap and hook everything up.

    1968 Window mounting clips & screws

    Hello all, Trying to locate the clips & screws in the pictures I am attaching. Anyone know where to find these? When I stripped down the door to repaint it I had to drill these out since the screws were frozen. I've checked NPD and CJs but coming up empty handed.

    1968 Dealer Spec Sheet

    Over the weekend I was in Green Bay, WI and stopped in to Shelby Parts & Restoration to see if they had any parts for my GT/CS. Great guys! Spent a couple hours talking to them and got to see some really great Shelby's they are restoring. The owner Jim scanned and emailed this Dealer Spec...

    1968 SEM Paint on Metal Dash?

    OK, so I think I may possibly be having a Homer Simpson "DOH!" moment. I spent the better part of the past couple weeks sanding down my dash and painting it. It turned out great but I think the paint is a little soft. The glovebox door got messed up and I am repainting it. When sanding the...

    1968 Dash Removal?

    I'm going to start working on removing my dash tomorrow night so I can have it soda blasted and repainted. Any tips or tricks from those who have done it? I removed a dash in my 81 Mustang years ago and that was a nightmare! Hoping this is not that bad! :icon_pani

    1968 AOD Tranny Swap

    Once again my height (6'8") seems to be getting in my way of having a stick in a car. I originally intended to put a Tremec in my GTCS but it looks like I'll need to keep the car an Automatic if I want to still drive it. The C4 is on it's last leg in the car. So I want to do the AOD swap when...

    1968 Baby's got some new shoes!

    Just installed my new wheels and tires. Went with Rocket Racing Hyper Shot booster wheels. Now I can actually drive my car somewhere! Old tires had cracked side walls! Too bad most of the car shows are over for the year and I ripped out 70% of my interior to start redoing it. :icon_bore

    1968 C4 Kickdown

    Recently my kickdown cable on my C4 came apart where it connects to the throttle. It looks like it was not properly connected. I ordered the parts to fix it. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the cable for proper kickdown?

    1968 Collapsing Steering Column - Borgeson Install

    Happy Friday everyone! I'm in process of installing the Borgeson setup in my car. I'm trying to figure out if I have collapsed the steering column as far as it can go. See attached pic. In talking to Borgeson they told me I should not need to cut anything to make it fit. It should be a...

    1968 GT/CS Update

    I realized I haven't published any pics of what I have done to the car since I got it. Thought I would throw out some images of what I've done. It's all stuff that can't be seen for the most part! Here's the list: Installed Global West front Coil Over set up. Installed Global West rear leaf...
