Does anyone know the width of the Shelby stripes? Need to fabricate a stencil to paint stripes on the EXP and can't find this info in poking about on the web....

Think I've posted a few comments on the current project car here. For anyone interested, a thread on a local Aussie site showing the progress... http://www.mustangtech.com.au/Forums/viewtopic/t=3744/start=75.html

Did the '68 C code use lower saddles that bolt to the frame like the big blocks? The shop installed the rad and there are none, I do not recall if there was a pair there and don't have pics to clarify. Have to pull it anyway as they forgot the side panels....:tongue:

I believe the engine mounts (bracket between insulator and frame) were originally bare metal. Correct? Late San Jose 390 if it matters.

What was the method? I have seen two variants, A small clip, kinda like the transmission line clip holding the two rods together. And another with an "M" clip screwed to the underside of the panel between the trunk lid and rear window. Have also seen a spiral cut piece of "hose" on one...

Anyone got a photo of one, I have a few and am not sure which is correct (or if I even have the right one, or misplaced it in the rubble of multiple cars in pieces!) :undecided If I can't find it, does anyone have one they can part with?

Anyone got close up photos of the ends of the moldings and how well the conform to the fender? Have a set of repros and they seem to be a bit off...

Having a hard time finding a reference for the filter. Is it a Motorcraft FG-14C?

Anyone got a few photos of routing? The NPD repro is so far off its not even funny.... bangs on the oil sender, then if you tweak it to clear that runs right thru the distributor... ends up 6" in front and 4" above the carb. Unless they sent a mismarked part, no way its going to work...

Been a while and I think I tried it and it failed... can you install the front bumper after installing the lower valence and arms?

Did all of the screws for the lamp protector/shields (the 6 "buckets", 2 large 4 small, that screw to the tail panel and cover the socket end of the taillights) that stick into the trunk get the little grey screw on caps? And for the "cardboard" covers the Branda repros are black. I have seen...

:smile: I think they look fantastic!!! :cool:

Got a few hours Friday afternoon and today in the shop: - package tray in (note to self, next time install it BEFORE the rear window!) - rear 1/4 windows in and adjusted, inner 1/4 trim panels on. - dash pad dyed, installed. Incredibly the two piece trim went on and the screws went in with...

Know the lid sits high in comparison to the end caps. But I found I needed to shim the striker on the lid down about 1/8" to get it to latch. The latch is full up, exactly where it was before. Based on the old toothed washer dents in the support bracket. Is this a common requirement? I used...

Found this to be a bit tricky, as the two square flat washers go on opposite side of the stone guard. I found it easiest to remove the two front lower screws on the wide grill molding, then lift it up from the stone guard, and slip the upper washer in place. Slip the lower washer and serrated...

Went to put the grille trim back on and the outer/upper tabs on the wide grille trims has nowhere to mount. Thought this used a small zinc oval head with inbuilt washer screw like the two on the lower front... but no where to go. Hate drilling, and am not sure of this used a different...

The jigsaw puzzle continues. Figured I'd layout the stripes and get them on the side scoops so I can put them on and then get the interior done. Easy... not. The dims in the book don't quite line up. So fiddles for 2 hours aligning, taping, eyeballing, readjusting. On thing that is not...

Not sure if it is just the repros or if OEM had the same problem. The rubber/plastic coating splitting and breaking off.. Had a can of Plasti-Dip spray (is that an Oxymoron?) and took the one off the GTCS, stripped it, blasted it, then gave it about 5 coats of Plasti-spray to get a good...

289/C4 Engine is on a stand and having never done this before (only toploaders, do the engine first and then the trans with engine in the car) wondering the best way to mate the two, as I want to install them as an assembly. Looks like you need to hang the engine on a hoist, attach the...
