Mustang Memories All-Ford Car Show and Swap Meet *

[Kentennis]

There's a guy living in this area that also worked there. I saw him, and talked to him the March after I got mine. Haven't seen him at any car shows since. I wouldn't remember him now anyway. I'd like to ask him a couple things.

I like that tip about the window/towel. My top is almost never up. I put it up every couple months to air it out and make sure I can get it all the way up! It's a tough stretch most times.

I have always done this:

When you lower your tops on your 'verts. Place a SOFT towel between the folding class section. This will protect the plastic glass from rubbing on each other. Great Tip!


But, it has to be really thin material, or the Tonneau will not close.
Also rotate the handles that you rotated to take the roof down, rotate them to the closed position.

Don't close or let others close, the doors by pushing on the glass window. Push the door, not the window.

Never force the pot metal release handles, If they are fighting you - - something is not correct. STOP and investigate.

and most most most imporant is never pull the big screw all the way down and INTO the recieving hole in the tonneau. Place fingers under the hem of the roof material and when ya feel the top get snug on your fingertips, STOP holding the button. That's when they all break, when 'ya pull that big aluminum screw all the way down, nice & tight.

Oh man, doesn't it wrinkle? Always top up when not in use. Those plastic windows hate being folded....

I did show up at the show in Dearborn today and drove my 86'vert to it.
Its was a perfect show with a strong turn out. But I had my car parked near the vendor swap tables. When I drove in and parked my vert it drew a large crowd with lot of questions. But a man in his late 60's told me he was H,Storch and his name is on my Incoming Inspection Report from ASC. His job with ASC was to inspect every 84-86 Capri and the Mustangs He his information and stories that back this up! He new EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR CARS!

1):The Windshield on the 'verts was bent with a special machine that bent it with the glass IN the Frame of the windshield. Just a handful cracked!

2): He also told me the side glass used was from the '84 Mustang 'verts
( This I still have questions)

3):Recaro seats had major problems all the time. Heaters, Speakers Air pumps. The factory rep was at ASC many times.

4)Put Anti-seize on the Locking lug on all four wheels, They will rust right on to the wheel.

5)When you lower your tops on your 'verts. Place a SOFT towel between the folding class section. This will protect the plastic glass from rubbing on each other. Great Tip!

H, Storch lives in Walled Lake Michigan with his son who does own a '85 'vert

I will be on Woodward on August 16th ---20th. With the ASC 'vert'86 Capri RS and the 73 Cougar.

Take Care Chris!

Howard is a very nice guy. he has 2 sons 1 has the 85 vert the other has an 87 vert. howard lives very close to me about a mile or 2. one of his kids (david) comes in to my work all the time to show me his car. im still waiting to get my car running so i can take it to his house.
