Can you imagine in the old days (3-4 years ago), how long it would take to get this far with an idea?

That's not an 'L', it's the toggle bar for the portal configuration.... which we'll be removing this evening probably.  Clicking the bar on the left will remove the side boxes.

Charles and Jeff,
I like the layout of this forum.   Hopefully we can get more to come over and check it out.

Jeff, I see you use 2nd Skin's sludge.   I'm using it on my 68fb as well, but not in any concours way.

When you login, there is an option to stay logged in "forever."  If this doesn't work, then it means you probably don't have cookies enabled in your web browser.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the site and this site is just what I was looking for.
I've recently bought a 1968 8R010S15324 GT/CS 390 C-6 San Jose car (8R01S 65B M 6G 26C 72 7 U ) delivered to Honolulu HI. It is a true GT with Interior Decor group upper and lower consoles, Power Disk brakes, Power steering. The previous owner started to do a concourse restoration but lost his job and had to sell. The body work has been completed and has been media blasted. They took care to tape over the factory drips on the underside while blasting. The engine has been stripped down, block was tumbled and magna fluxed the heads haven't been touched and need attention there are new pistons and rods. Transmission hasn't been touched either. The car is being moved from CA. to NJ. as I type. I would like to continue the concourse restoration but need help with what order the restoration goes in does anyone know of a good publication out there that explains a concourse restoration? All comments welcome       
Title: Re: Welcome to ConcoursMustang Forums
Post by: J_Speegle on September 13, 2009, 04:27:14 PM
Welcome pnsy56shop to the site.

Looks like a fun project - take your time and ask allot of questions, plenty of help and normally you only get one shot at doing a car. I've owned a number of Calif Specials over the years (currently a J code GT with bench seat) build around the same times as your car

As far as good publications IMHO there are none, one of the reasons we put together this site. The hobby (mostly due to the internet) is progressing much quicker than in the past so much of what get printed can be out of date fairly quick. At the same time some of the basics have been well researched but its the real details that will make the difference between another restoration and one that is on the cutting edge of our current understanding.

A decent first step would be to get a copy of the current MCA Judging rules.




I most (kindly) warn you that since your doing a San Jose car in the north east it will be important to ask allot of questions and for support since your car will often be very different from other cars you will find in your area. So consider starting your own thread (include your VIN and details) over in the 67-68 section and we can get started. Plenty of people here with experience with full restorations.

We're here to help 


PS - the first picture you posted appears to be a Marti report from another car ;)

Welcome

To post pictures, what I found that works for me is to get an account at one of the free picture hosting sites (I use Photo Bucket) then up load my pictures there (set up different directories if your going to store allot) and then just post the link  in your posting.

The picture site will give a number of different urls to use I use the bottom most one on the list at PhotoBucket

Hope this helps
