I believe someone with balls once said "a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do" . Might have been Clint Eastwood or John Wayne.....but not sure if they told that to their wife with mustang parts all over the dining room though.

Oh, one item that is also very neat is the relay pack that you see in the bottom picture. It allows you to run halogen headlights, and fog lights. The kit also supports the 1969 dual headlight setup. You can see my writing.... LB - Low Beam, HB - High Beam, FG - Fog (driving lights), HN - Horn, IG - Ignition. The ignition relay is only used on 1970s. It is there to allow the use of the column mounted ignition switch that was used in 1970, versus the 1969 dash mounted switch. There is a nice pre-assembled jumper wire kit that comes with the AAW package that plugs into the 1970 factory connector.

Mine was a Daniel Carpenter, my trim went down ok, use plenty of sealer.

I said I was sorry. Let it go already.

Those bolts are impossibly from GM. They are not completely rusted through...

I believe the small strip is to seal water out from between the rubber gasket and the trim ,my original gasket has the strip and it is hiden under the stainless trim

This might help..... http://fixingthetruckagain.blogspot.com/2016/12/rebuilding-1969-mustang-non-tilt.html?m=1

Heck, it'll make me feel better after reading all that!

Not really ,you would be surprised at some of the things i have seen on these cars . Someone just found some GM bolts and used them because it was easier than finding the correct bolts

Bigmal: have an adult beverage on us! That'll make you feel a whole lot better!

Great stuff Mac! You going to the Gosford Museum made me look into the origin of Gosford. I live around the corner from a railroad stop and road named Gosford in Bakersfield California. My Gosford was founded by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1893 and named in honor of the Earl of Gosford, former landowner. Gosford was unincorporated community in Kern County, California.[1] It is located on the Southern Pacific Railroad 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Bakersfield Your Gosford was named in 1839 after Archibald Acheson, 2nd Earl of Gosford – a friend of the then Governor of New South Wales George Gipps. So now you know the rest of the story Mac. Where's Paul Harvey when you need him? :)
