ViCatz sorry for the confusion I cover many years and models. We're getting off the point a little since this is a San Jose 68 site but lets share Our experiances differ a bit but will keep looking. Did look through some of the pictures I have and found the following A couple of "lowly"...

Hi Ray thanks for some additional support of this. With all the pictures of cars in magazines with the CAUTION decal they will not go away soon :( Yes the Cougar guys got allot uglier than what I've seen elsewhere As for the "FRONT" decal I've got pictures back to at least 65 of original cars...

PPG is great stuff and have used it for years Unfortunately we can't get PPG or any other non-rattle can paints in single stage anymore in allot of areas of Calif. So using it, locally, is not an option for the interior color. Kryon is ok for the driver but does not hold up well in the long run...

No It's a different mix (base coat/clear coat wasn't done back then)

Seat Frames - Semi-gloss black sprayed Windshield Squirter (under dash)- Semi-gloss black sprayed A/C Parts (under hood stuff, brackets, mounts, etc) Are all A/C parts painted or are some bare metal? - You don't report what engine but in general main mount, idler mount that attaches to the...

I would suggest that you try posting this over on another forum that is better prepared to handle 69 questions http://www.vintage-mustang.com/

Mustanglvr "Could it be an elusive 1967 Mustang Stallion?" No fiberglass trunks or scoops were used on those Likely just some ones modified Mustang fastback

What interior do you have? Some types of material is not available (correctly done) for these kits so it may make a difference. Also there are only one or two suppliers of the kits though all shops carry one or the other. So you might want to ask the group which maker they used and were they...

Believe that there are many places that stamp them though the blank tags could all be coming from the same supplier. Not very expensive. Kevin Marti is also a licensed provider of the stamped tags (not sure where is purchases the blank). When you choose a shop to provide these for you care...

Supplier is not really as important as the business that makes the part (shops are normally just the middle man) I like (if you can't get NOS) Repop (s?) seals find that they are superior to other reproductions at this time

Undercarriages had a little or allot of overspray from the exterior color application. Just depended on the painter, how far down he held the gun that car, and so on. Same case with the pinch weld black out. Seen it were is was barely there and other times were there was more of it than exterior...

Not legally. From my understanding Kevin use to provide that service but after some problems with a person or two he was told no more or Ford would cut him off from all access. Sure someone out there can do it ... but lots of federal laws that can be to prosecute whomever dose

MCA does not require paint and inspector marks but will deduct for incorrect ones. Often there is allot of pressure to add as many as possible or what you see in magazines or at shows. When this is done owners have no way to tell if the make they see came from that car and often do not consider...

Believe that there was asbestos added to the mixture to improve insulation qualities. If you notice if exposed to heavy sun light for a long time it will often turn a white color from the original blackish color. No big surprise given the period when the acr were assemblied "Originally Posted...

And in the sound deadener that was sprayed in the wheel wells of your car

Why we're discussing Jackson (one of many paint inspectors at San Jose during 68-69) here is a picture of from one of the days when he was workign on the line, rather than the area where they painted the parts off the car Careful anyone attempting to make a stamp of this - the stamp uses at...

The last name style of inspection stamp (except for one inspector) was started during 68 production intermixed with the earlier style of identifying them by their number. I'll email you as I have a large collection of this sort of detail but people are always looking to support what is found...

A pretty quick and fairly easy way to check or at least get an idea is to ask them what seams on the undercarriage get chalked ;) Most shops from my experience will describe a 68 NJ car since so many are featured (Shelbys) in magazines

Talan423 Your idea #1 seems to best fit what we've been thinking and what other workers have explained. we had a number of workers use the use of a visible "X" with no related tightening or filling need (white in color), that they used when the line stopped and every took a break ... except...

Suggest you throw in a first aid kit also. Commercial kits are available as a start.
