    Windshield moldings -how to???

    Yeah they look like the same clips. The clips came with each piece. I have compared it to the original one and it looks the same. The only difference I could see was the original looked a little more like the contour of the windsield. Should the clips be all the way in (where they should be)...

    New 68 Vent Window Frames - Beware!

    I bought mine from John's Mustang (www.johnsmustang.com), but only because I had them on order from Mustangs Unlimited for about 4 months and got tired of waiting. NPD also carries them, but they too were out. Also, the repro vent window rubber doesn't even come close to original. I'm very...

    68-69 Mustang Bucket Seats- The same?

    I've got a pair of 69 standard bucket Mustang seats to put in a 68. I bought the correct grain/pattern for a 68 Shelby. Are the seat "frames" the same for both a 68 and 69? I've seen how the 67's have a more "curved" back than the 69's but I don't know if the 67's are correct either. Please help...

    Tilt steering column???

    What what I've read, there are two different kinds. One that tilts the steering wheel up and down, and the other is a swing-a-way type that tilts also. But I still haven't been able to find out the difference between a plain 67 and 68 tilt. Dave

    I have a Ford Parts Interchange book that says a 67 Mustang and 67 Cougar tilt steering column is interchangeable and that a 68 Mustang and 68 Cougar tilt steering column is interchangeable. Does anyone know why a 67 and 68 are not interchangeable? Are the shafts different lengths? Thanks Dave
