$1.60 a liter here (I run premium in the nags) $1.40 for reg. Works out to over $6 a gallon... not as bad as Europe, some there are paying near $10! :rolleyes:

Marti ($35), and others ($?), will reproduce them.

I don't have original. I have PPG in old style and new watermix, same vendor, "same" formula, different colors. All "simialr" and if you saw in on a car sitting alone it would not be obvious. But side by side, no doubt the colors differ... I forget which other brands my painter mentioned...

Well... all I can say is there is about 0% chance of matching original. I have 4 test colors of "Highland green" from different paint vendors and they all look very different... so much for any restored car looking "original"... just going to pick a Glasurit cutom color as all were a bit...

Recommendations? I have seen some posts about adding shims of ~1/8" to the UCA's to get better alignment numbers for radials on the '68's. As I'm looking at a Shelby drop, then is the time to add the shims as realignment will be required. Recommended specs for caster, camber, toe? Have big...

Here's what I found. Black strip caulk type material...

Man I miss the US and prices there... 22 there, 70 here... and our dollar is now even with the US (unlike at 50c wehn i moved there in 2001) Paid over $120 the other day for fluid to refill my C6. $40 in brake fluid (3 x 500ml) to flush... An oil change is $50 of oil plus $20 for a filter... ;-(

I recently bought a slightly damaged OEM Shelby panel, can't say for sure if the GT/CS is the same, but that one did have a sealer applied around the panel. Similar to the strip caulk, but seemed a lot harder than most I have removed... I'll see if I can dig up some pictures.

$70 for 5 liters (gallon and a bit) here... plus shipping as its not available locally... seems kinda spendy....

Got this... Going to make it look like this.... Which is more than a winter project, but its going to keep me busy through our next winter or two...

C code, PS, May build Red/yellow on 9 1/2 coil springs 16 3/4" flat down to top of coil end. Stripes about 1/2" wide about 3" apart...

Took a look at it a bit closer. The ratios/percentage for each base color are the same, so some variation of total batch quantity for some reason... so the same mix! D777 GREEN 365 365 40.06% 40.06% 1646.6 40.06% 40.06% D740 BLACK 226.6 591.6 24.87% 64.93% 2669 24.87% 64.93% D767 FINE AL...

Here's one I just got from PPG... the Dxxx numbers look the same for the colors that make it up, not sure how the two formulas differ with the weights, based on the numbers for each... its not x4 for a gallon vs quart... so its... ??? 43644 : PRIME : GLOBAL BC : 43644 : 1968-1968 : Body ...

The spacing of the holes is staggered on stock Mustangs. Some vendors sell "even spaced" ones for Shelby applications. Not sure if its a 65-66 thing or all... Note below, the spacing between the two middle bolts is diferent to that between the outer and inners on each side. Odd spacing. On...

From front; Pink, White, Light Blue, then a bit further down a light seafoam green-ish. from rear weld 9" 17 3/4", 21 3/4", 23 3/4", stripes about 1/2" wide. Yokes orange, with yellow small swipe. Have seen very carefully painted yokes, most I have are as this shows, appear to be a few...

From front; Red, med blue, white, then a bit further down a white or light green-ish. Yokes orange, with pink also on front. (Ignore yellow mark on rear yoke, put there with grease pencil to allow realigning drivesahft after removal)

And I'm just about to order one for my GT/CS....

Repros for $40, "better" thicker OE "odd spacing" go for for $60... and an hour to install? Same cost as a drive to get a tank of gas... and for me working on the cars is almost as mcuh fun as driving them! Yep, worth it. I've heard the horror stories of sag, but on all 4 I've put them on...

early '68 390 (S) 4 speed GT coupe, San Jose. seafoam green-ish, light blue, white, pink 9", 17 1/2", 20 1/2",23 1/2" from weld seam at end Have a late 68 X code, C6 that looks like seafoam green-ish (?), red, med/dk blue, white, just looking at it on the car on the lift today. More data...

... and in 7 they'll be back to non-water based it the grand California gas experiment of MTBE is any indication! :rolleyes: Price went up to put it in, then even more to take it back out!
