General Discussion / Convertible Boot

When I purchased my car it was missing the boot and would like to purchase one, but I have a couple issues...1, I've only looked at the ones the Heartbeat City carries & 2, when it is installed on the car does it clip to the stainless steel moldings, and if so, does it scratch those moldings?

General Discussion / BB Convertible

« on: July 07, 2017, 10:58:58 PM »

I just completed a full restoration on my '68 BB Convertible RS/SS L35, TH400, I was wondering if anyone would know how many of this particular convertible was produced.  I've only had the car out 2 times since finishing it, and have had several people say it is a rare car....It has been in my wife's family since '72 & was parked in '81 until 2011.

Garage Talk / '68 Convertible "Cocktail Shakers"

« on: June 29, 2017, 11:10:19 AM »

Can anyone tell me if the left front "Shaker" needs to be removed in order to remove the outer bumper bracket, my bumper bracket appears not to have the same bend in it where the rubber grommet goes thru like the right one does, more of a flat surface, not sure if that will be a issue with installation of the bumper or not!

I'm trying to install the crank arm on the back of the motor and I'm following the diagram in the assembly manual UPC 1 A2, if I hold my wiper motor following the picture, one alignment mark is opposite the picture, does anyone have a good picture of a '68 wiper motor (back view), I was told this was for a '68, can't find any #'s on it!
