    Which fog lights?

    My GT/CS according to the Marti report was scheduled for build on 4/19/68 but was produced on 4/29/68, ten days behind schedule. When I bought it it had 653 Marchals (I know should be 656's) The grille mouldings I believe are original and do not have holes drilled for Lucas lights? Is it...

    Engine Paint

    Thanks, Don! My original 68 302 4V is painted medium blue and looks like original paint. I have a 66 coupe and the engine is painted dark blue or corporate blue. Before I repaint my engine I just want to be sure. I've seen several 302's painted the lighter blue. I know MCA rules state dark blue...

    Engine Paint

    Dumb Question #1: What color of blue are the 68 302 4v engines? I've seen dark ford blue, old ford blue, and medium blue. Could someone tell me what color spray paint to use on my engine? I believe it should be light blue colored. Most of the parts catalogs list ford corporate dark blue as...

    Missing console??

    Has anyone had any luck getting the vinyl replaced on the top pad of a 68' console. My console is in good shape except for the vinyl toppad, any suggestions? Another question, are the '67 and '69 a.m. radios the same as the '68 a.m. radio and will they fit in the sonsole with the longer nobs?

    Marchel Fog lights 656 vs. 653

    Thanks everyone for the replies. For my fog lights, I have two housings that are labeled 635 and 21 DEC. 1967. However, the eyebrows that were on them have no markings on them at all. I assume that I have 653 housings with 656 eyebrows. Also, I have the inside part (reflector???) that is in...

    Marchel Fog lights 656 vs. 653

    How do the Marchel fog light housings differ between the 656 and the 653 models? The car I recently purchased has 653 housings, with the date of December 21, 1967 stamped on the inside. The bulbs and lenses are missing. Also, are the backsides of the 656 housings chrome? The 653 housings I...

    Good Mustang restorers in Wisconsin?

    Does anyone know of a good place to get body work done on my GT/CS in Wisconsin? I just bought the car from California and had it shipped out to Wisconsin. Can you believe that they damaged it? The shippers accidentally dropped the ramps down on the top of my CT/CS, Creasing the top and doing...
