Just a note on Ricks' reply... that a the head of a company as large as NPD would go out and test spray a part and compare it to a know is pretty cool. A lot of folks buy parts based on price, and I get that, but this type of dedication and interest from NPD is what sets them apart... many...

And if you saw the "collection" and the parts they stock its about "the Hobby" of old cars, not just Mustangs....

Thanks Rick!!! 8 miles... I overestimated!!!:wink:

Odd... I just did some interior Ivy Gold '68 parts and the color was a match to the OEM parts I had. Some very slight difference, but one would expect that comparing new paint against 43 year old! As I have only 68's and mostly black interiors the CGM has been the mainstay and I've been very...

Got in touch with the CEO of NPD... he's going to do a test spray of their color and compare it to the original/survivor cars they have. Will post his results once he gets them to me... (their collection of cars and trucks (over 100 vehicles, I was so stunned I didn't count them, two huge...

Rare find, and in excellent condition. Keep it safe!!!

A picture is worth..... :wink: Happy to help. I need a lot... so nice to return the favor sometimes!

Not sure what you mean by the first "nut stud dash"... here is shot of one. The bracket just rests on the dash metal, bolted from below, nothing above it but the bracket...

Well, all I can say is I have compared a number against OEM parts and can't fault them... but have not tried every one... Not great site, it works for me most of the time. I'll take that over the crap service and backorders noted on most other forums from most other vendors.

If they were that bad do you think ford would have kept using them with no recall (they recalled the seat hinge pin, this one would seem a bit more of a risk! ;) 12-14 years on the convertible and the only thing that stopped it working was an idiot at a local shop that took it apart and...

The NPD site isn't great but is not that bad if you use the filters, display and search options well. Filter the search by model and year, set it to 3 rows and you can usually find things pretty fast (but I do use the paper one I have a lot). For Ford parts as they use the correct part...

Yellow fiberglass batting, like typical house insulation, but thinner... about 1/2" thick. With a hard brown paper top layer and a black asphalty/tarish layer then the fiberglass. Have seen the "paper/asphalt or tar/clear film" in trunks on a few of my cars, and do not recall what was under...

Never seen any reference to clear silicone sealant... where is this documented? None of my libraries Shelby (the '68 Shelby unique parts book does not even have a pic of the side scoop installation) or GT/CS refs mention it... they make note of sealer on the back of the main nut, but nothing...

Pulled the rear seat in prep for some paint work. Found fiberglass backed "tar paper", but die cut. Thought the original was jute backed. Anyone know for sure which was used, late April build car. Just curiosity as the old stuff is too far gone to save.

Doing a "nice, but not over the top" paint job on the 68 C code as its not worth a bare metal restoration. Nothing on the underside or inside other than jambs and scotch brite and respray the interior with charcoal grey metallic to clean up some scuffs and wear. Respray the inside of the...

That is the clutch assist spring bracket.

Don't have my references, or the cars, biz trip and on the road. But think they only bolt to the firewall with two small screws until the rest of the assembly goes in. Think the dash end is retained by the steering column bracket and at the firewall by some of the booster bolte/studs. But am...

And in some cases you need to massage the holes and file a bit to get them to fit, as when punched out they sometimes get a bit of a "neck" which makes it hard to install the plugs flush..

Early or late? IIRC the very early cars had them higher up than the majority... on the road and it looks like I did not post a sketch I did a while ago on line... if no one else posts info I can dig it up when I get home this weekend...

Actually quite common. People who wanted to 1/4 mile the big blocks often left off the discs to save weight.... My S convertible was a factory manual drum car... Also intereting how the date for the "requirement" keeps slipping as more facts showing the proposed dates were wrong. First the...
