This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration.

    Steering wheel still for sale?

    Hi. My brother has a '68 Skylark convertible, and I used to own it. One day I broke him down to the point where he let me tear into it. Now, everything's disassembled, with most parts needed for the restoration at his house. However, I don't a '68 steering wheel. Could you send pics to ewojcieszak@yahoo.com, along with price? I restored a badly cracked black '67 Cougar steering wheel to match my red interior. Lemme know. Thanks, Eric.

    P.S. Is the windshield the same for a 2/4 door standard as a convertible?

    Eric COUGAR.... I think you left out a word...."However, I don't a '68 steering wheel".

    I imagine you dont HAVE a 68 steering wheel? is what you meant? If so, YES, I will get a few pix for you but I know this wheel does have some cracks....

    Wheelz- do you have the T-400 vacuum modulator line that goes from the intake manifold to the transmission vac modulator??
    If so, how many :dollar: Thanks. Randy
    PS- I still may need that driveshaft, if you still have it. I'm taking mine to have measured and inspected on Monday.

    Wheelz...I think you've got a real "sales" knack. Ever considered a career in infomercials? I want to buy something off of you, but can't think of anything...:laugh:

    All I had to do is sleep on it Wheelz. Put me in line for the pistons if you part out the 400". Also, if you could provide a picture of the top of the engine with that air cleaner off, I need some do dads off the top of the intake.

    Im. Back. . .and yes, pix of the engine & tranny are posted on the other site. BUT as far as this thread...seems that so many people have visited this site, that perhaps no NEW PEOPLE think there is anything left because they see a million replies on 4 pages of posts... SO, these few pix are what is going to be the last of my posts regarding this car.
    Motor/tranny is out, car is not more'n just a shell with a set of front aluminum drums, a rear end with VERY NICE CHASSIS under it AND valid VIN tags/title.
    ThThThats all folks!
    Saturday, this car will be squished into a heavy ole unwanted chunk of 1968 Detroit steel...it'll be gone. IF you want anything before saturday, yaBETTER speak up NOW or forever hold your peace.
    Thanq for your support.
    I now return you back to your regularly scheduled programming.
