    I was watching Dirty Harry this evening and spotted what I believe to be a white GT/CS with a red stripe.

    1968 Lucky find

    Hi Scott, how much are you going to ask for the deck lids. I recently lost one to a wild fire. It was stored in a car trailer along with a tail light panel. Nothing left but ash. Just need a price for the insurance company. Don't need to purchase one. Thanks. Hope all is well with you. Mike

    Loss of a member

    Our heart felt condolences. Stan and lisa are a A#1 FOLKS. We really enjoyed meeting them in L. A. When we met for the Fab Ford's Forever show at Knotts Berry Farm on 2008. Hard to believe it was that long ago. RIP my friend.

    1968 Help with drum brakes

    Go to your local welding shop and se if they hand a 1 inch diameter x 4 or 5 inch long piece of brass. You can put that on the stud and hit it with a 4 lb. Sledge hammer.
