To Charlotte for the 50th then up to DC, Gettysburg, Henry Ford Museum then northern US road trip back to Cali. Oh! Probably should get the GTCS finished first. lol

I gave up looking for light brackets for my GTCS so I made my own. It took me a day to make a template and both brackets. Painted them the next. I used pics from the book and this site to figure the size and bends. Used a pan brake box and a press with a large bearing for the dimple. Also made a...

Drove a 65 Coupe in high school 1972. Always liked the 68 model even back then. Restored a 68 FB in 2007. I sold it to help buy a 1970 B2. After selling the B2 I wanted another 68 to go along with my 65 FB. It had to be a GTCS. So I found a 68 GTCS on this site drivable but needs repaint and...

Looking good. I sand my driveshafts with 220 then progressively finer sandpaper untill the DS looks new. Then I mix paint and brush the correct color stripes back on. I've used clear in the past and with the sanding there's no rust and it works great. I'm thinking on the 65 coupe I'm restoring...

I had same problems with my B2 a few years ago. It was a bad (new) coil that quit working when it heated up. Are you sure its the carb thats causing the problem? Also if it is the fuel make sure you have no rubber fuel line from fuel pump to carb. Short rubber line from steel line to carb filter...

Mustang stories - It's a small world I'd like to ad my mustang story. Hopefully others will follow. We all like car stories and everyones got 1 or 2. My short version. In 2007 I learned of a 65 Fastback. It ended up being the same car I fueled up working at a Beacon filling station every...

Yes. Shoes too wide. Don't ask me how I know. lol. gary

I installed an air duct in my 65 fastback. Not a bad job at all. It looks really clean. Shelby builders did it back in the day but pop rivited it in If I remember correctly. I used aluminum dryer vent hose connecting the vents. The kit came with the plastic tubing like swimming pool vacumn hose...

Yes. Danny, Doug and Billy. Which Scotts is your wife related to? Our side of the Scotts have been here in Porterville since the late 40's.

I viewed this car before I bought the one in Dixon. Looked to be the real deal and solid. Nice owner that loves Mustangs. He's working on a 65 FB he currently owns also. Any more info your welcome to pm me. gary

Thanks for the help everyone. I like the idea of just having to buy the lens for my lights. Bob, Sent you a PM on the pedestals and questions about your question marks on the correct grill brackets. lol.

Thanks for the pics Doug. They're going to be a great help. Also was reading about the fake grill on e-bay for 600+. Just info like these examples is a tribute to the good members on this site trying to inform rookies like myself. Thanks to you all. gary

Thanks for the welcomes. I haven't mastered the posting pictures thing yet. Problems just making My Garage pics work. lol. Still a misson to fix that. There are pics of the car from last week in For Sale link from Dixon, CA. Now the adventure begins and a search for real deal Lucas Lights...

Hello All, Just purchased a 68 GTCS 8R01C156157. A Gulfstream Aqua car that really needs help at this time. Now I'm no longer a GTCS wanna be civilian but an owner. I've been looking for a CS for a year now since I sold my B2 last spring. I really enjoy this site and hope to learn more about...
