Is that "Custom" insignia on the dash a shortened "Customline"? I've been looking for what you have for my dash.

I think that was an eBay purchase.  A NOS, in-the-box emblem for a '68 Custom (cheap Galaxie).  It's all in the details!  I'm so glad you picked up on one of the details.  I spent some much time on some of those little details.   Originally, a Thunderbird emblem would have been in that place,

Gary I don't remember any mods on your upper a-arms... is that on the forum somewhere? If you would please pm me I would appreciate it.

I searched and found upper control arm modification discussion.  It starts at reply #4 in 'Door Locks Right and Left' discussion which quickly skated to control arm mods.

This spring I modified the '57 Custom's upper control arms just like I did the Raunch Wagon.  I was bolder and removed a little more material...1/8" in the front and 3/8" in the rear which worked out well.

I just checked and of course I found no pictures.  I have attached a picture to show my cut line...the bottom edge of the date code.

The ole, annual first day of school picture.

Nice picture. I always hated the first day of school

Which one is gasman826?

The three of us took off on a week long cruise!

Cool! Where to?

Coldwater (southwest Michigan) to Cheboygan (northeast Michigan) via old US-27.  It's kind of a mini Route 66.  Lots of little towns bypassed by the interstate highway.  Each of the little towns are making it a big event!

Ah...so this is an organized even then. Sounds fun! Send pics! 

Old US27 Dewitt Michigan
