    Yes, there are bumper guards with horseshoes on them. I have seen them a time or two. I think there is a picture of them in some restoration book on the authors car.

    HoT EnGiNe

    with the engine !COOL! start the car. When the thermostat opens (upper radiator hose will get hot also) you should see water flowing through the radiator. If there are no clogs, the thermostat is open, the water pump is pumping ,and a hose isn't collapsing you should see a pretty good movement...

    Why not just LED bulbs?

    I have added the other lights from mustang project. Definitely can see the difference. Since I would have for someone to crunch my car the extra cost was worth it to me.

    Options for Convertible Top Replacement--Hagerty Insured?

    I would opt for the vinyl top. You will probably find that the top will outlast the bonding of the top to the backglass (have had two bonding failures while the top looked almost brand new). I would call the insurance and make inquiries. I don't know what your deductible is but I had my...

    Exploding Gas Tanks--We should talk about it.

    I put in the led rear lights, leds in the turn signals. I put in 71 seats with tjhe high back so my neck won't get broken. I have bought the metal divider and disk brakes, just haven't put then on yet. I drive with plenty of distance between me and the car in front. Give advance signals...

    Earliest Mustang Memory

    My parents candy-apple red, s-code gt '68 fastback. I think it had the 4spd top-loader. I can't quite remember and neither can mom. Dad was a mechanical whiz(came from growing up on a farm with not a lot of money) and had the engine outfitted with all the chrome goodies at the time.

    Steering Wheel

    If buying from ebay ask for a picture of the backside of the pad if . I bought a couple that looked great from the front but the opening in the back (that goes over the spokes of the steering wheel) had spread apart so much they looked awful when mounted. Yes, you can see the back of the...

    questions on my newly purchased CS

    look up mustang project on the web . it will have the prices. They are sometimes a little slow to answer. No cutting. It took about 1/2 hour. Finding the flasher relay was the hardest part. I would suggest you ask for a faster blinking rate than the standard if you order from mustang...

    Leaking Battery

    I would agree with the over-charging idea. Get a voltmeter and measure the voltage at the battery. It should read about 14 votls when the car is running.

    "Concours". Is it for you?

    good thread. I really admire those people who go the concours route but it is not for me. I don't have the time or the personality ( you anal types know who you are) for going into that kind of detail. I do like working on the car and absolutely love the look. Since I won't own it if I...

    Building a car with your daughter?

    I have tried to interest my daughter in working on the various car projects. I always enjoyed working with Dad with whatever he was doing. She has told me in no uncertain terms "working on cars is boring". So as a result most of my free time is spent doing what she enjoys. I will have plenty...

    Gold GT/CS with Cougar Dash on eBay

    I emailed the seller about the data plate. he says it was lost when the car was repainted. He doesn't have the marti report. Want's big money but won't spend any time to make it. With all the ebay fraud something like this seems suspicous.
