I'm finishing up the GT/CS mailer to send out to over 1,000 members.
Since I'm doing this, I'm asking a few questions to answer a few production questions I've always wondered about. Here are a few (no need to answer them here--wait until you get your mailer ASAP).
What I need to know is if there are any other similar type questions that I should ask members. Did I leave anything out?? Suggestions??
Thanks... Paul.
---below are sample questions only for the mailer----do not answer------
--------------------------------------
-- Interior Mirror (mounted on windshield) is the handle for day/night moved foward-backward, OR side-to-side?? (we, I mean, Bob Teets just told me this one)...
--Is there a (heavy duty) signal flasher bracket mounted on the dash rail, just inside the ash tray? (remove ash tray, and look behind or just to the right behind the tray’s location.
--Any markings by rubber stamps? These are usually located under the hood, on the top of the firewall, the inside area of the headlight bucket, etc. Please list the actual name/word, and the exact location (if possible).
--Fog Lights: Marchal / Lucas / Nothing (if Lucas, are they mounted properly on grill “sill” with the proper bolts, square washers and pedistals?) Do you have a rubber washer mounted at the base of the pedistal?
--Rear Reflector: Inset with body-colored trim / Chrome one-piece type (also used on Cougars--sticks out).
--Interior Pads: Do you have the interior-colored dash pad that runs across the dash, just above the radio? YES NO
--Do you have the (inner) padded windshield pillar pieces? YES NO
--Do you have a small rubber piece on the far left and right attachments of the front bumper? (next to the front side marker):
--Do you have the “witness line” visible on the top and side of the side scoops? This is about 1/4” back from the face of the scoop. it’s a casting line left on the side scoop.
--HCS Owners Only: Is the side scoop emblem--and the stripe piece on the scoop ONE piece? or--is the HCS emblem mounted on top of the side scoop stripe piece? Is the shield emblem offset 3/8” forward from center?
--Rear Valance: Is yours stock, or a GT Valance (with exhaust cutouts?).
--Antenna Base (original type, is still on car) Round or Square
--Vinyl Top? State Color, including paisley; or if “spray on type”.
--Bumper Guards, Front, and/or rear?
--Trunk Mat Type: Speckled or plaid ( those original to car only). Plastic protector strip on which side of the wheelwell seam? Any plastic “luggage protection” wrap on one or both of the trunk lid tension springs?
--Any car show awards?
