I haven't posted in a long time... I started out with 2 CS's and a GT500. I sold one unrestored J code a few years ago, and then I sold the GT500 - I don't regret either one. I finally finished my C code CS this last year and only drove it a few times this summer, but not nearly enough! Our...

I drove my Blue CS home last week!!! I'm doing some finishing touches on the car and would like some advice! My GT hubcaps fit very loosely in my new vintiques 15" chrome wheels. I'm worried they'll fly out while driving. Any common/creative fixes besides tape? The Lucas fog light internal...

After years of on again, off again restoration progress... I finally gave in and took it to a shop to finish! They've been VERY GOOD and also very expensive. At least I'll finally get to drive it this summer! We are hooking up the tail lights and DO have the original harnesses. However, it...

After many years of starting and stopping my 68 CS project car - I finally gave up! I sold the building I kept it in and I had to give in and.... Take the car to a real restoration shop for completion!!! My old threads on the project are OLD. But it was a rotisserie, sandblast, complete...

I'm finally back in the groove and working on finishing up my CS. Actually got it running on SAT after chasing down various tranny line issues, brake line issues and a bad fuel sender gasket!! Since I took a few years off of the project, I'm having a hard time locating a few things. Imagine...

I haven't posted since 2014 - and I'm once again contemplating what to do with my CS. I had 2 cars and sold one in 2014 to Neil. My other CS is 85% put back together after a rotisserie job... Rebuilt engine, tranny, rear end, disc breaks, shelby drop, steering, complete rewire, new...

I haven't posted here in quite a while because I stopped working on my project cars and can't seem to get restarted. I've decided to sell my J code, since all its done is sit. My C code has been sitting in the "almost" done phase for a year. All I really need to do is finish wiring it up, put...

This should be a great project for someone, I've lost motivation! I bought 2 '68 California specials in the span of a month in 2009. I tore one down completely, put it on a rotisserie, and started work....a lot of work. It's been "almost done" for a year! The "good optioned" one, I let sit...

This forum has helped me more times than I can recall. Searching for info, seeing pictures, and getting inspiration. I'm over due for a project update and maybe someday, I'll be able to give back some of the help / advice that I've received here and on other vintage places. I started my 68 C...

You guys are going to get sick of me soon.... I'm blasting on the rotisserie and I just realized I can't seem to find my reference info on what gets painted Red Oxide and what gets painted black etc. Pics soon... OK well I found all the threads that talk about this and have read through...

I found a deal on a 67 fastback project that has already had all sheet metal done and been on a rotisserie for clean up. 15k. I already have 2 projects in front of this if I bought it... The problem is... I already have a freaking fleet. 2 CS's, 1 68 shelby, and 7 other cars...for a total of...

Progress is going slow... but I'll have lots of questions for all the experts here in a few more weeks. I've got two CS's - The blue C code is ready for the rotisserie tomorrow!!! I'm getting the windshield and rear window removed by a pro in the morning then....I'm bolting it on to the...

From my previous threads, I'm doing a full rebuild on my C code special - It was modified with a big block power steering set up. I removed the power steering unit and it appears to need a rebuild. I already know this car will not be a concourse car. The engine is not original, it's getting...

Does this look like an original steering set up to you??? Thanks!

I'm at the point where Progress is about to start happening more quickly on my blue CS. So far I have: Replaced the battery apron Replaced the radiator support panel fixed the drivers floor pan with a very small welded patch Removed all interior Carefully removed all of the wiring wire wheeled...

Well, when I'm not obsessing on trying to buy a Shelby, I'm still working on fixing 2 '68 specials. Slowly working I should say. I've been cleaning up the inside and I'm staring at the various wiring harnesses and thinking that they should be replaced. In fact all the wiring should be replaced...

I haven't posted in a while because my progress on my 2 68 CS's is very slow... I'll have to post a few new pictures when I can get a couple taken. Well today I was at a local mustang parts shop - a long time collectors place - picking up a few new/old items for my blue CS - a new old grill, a...

I'm in the process of restoring 2 1968 california specials - One car has a standard rectangular chrome mirror that I've seen on other specials. The other car has a "sport mirror" (aerodynamic rounded body color mirror) on driver and passenger side - They look original and there is no evidence...
