Yep, very familiar with the original fabrication. Open wheel ain't the look I'm after... going with the Shelby style... just wondering if the ducts could be done and provide some function if I go with the open Shelby scoops over the GT/CS closed...

If not sold, I'll take 'em....

Know it was not done originally on coupes. Wondering if anyone has looked into it? I am doing an EXP500-ish car and have both CS/GT and functional Shelby scoops. I am unsure if a wide thin plenum could be worked behind the window "plate" with the channels, and a transition to the wheel well...

Some of the Aussie Holden Toranas got quite a bit of tweaking, fender flares, rear spoiler, modifeid engines, etc... A9X and GTR XU-1 are two that come to mind.... Some of the Ford Falcons here back-in-the-day also got some tweaks. Phase I, II, and III GTHO's. But they were more...

Built Dec 13th, sold Jan 10th. Would seem unlikely that the dealer would turn the conversion around that fast. Let alone, as noted, the dates are before GT/CS production so seems unlikely a dealer would have pre-production/prototype parts.... sounds like a good story, but....

From the web, looking for Midway Ford, maybe the same firm still around? Take a punt and contact them...??? Long shot, but... Midway Auto Center 3737 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90040 Mon-Fri 8am-6pm (877) 909-9797 (213) 385-1411 About Us : We have...

Very possible a dealer decided to do this, but would have been a costly conversion. as the orignals sold "poorly" a higher cost one-off (roll bar, tail panel, hood, grille, etc) would seem a throw-away cost for the dealer, but as an anniversary present to himself who knows? Is the grille...

Hmmmm...... You're using the internet, and posting in your sig you have a J code GT/CS, and are afraid of someone giving out a phone number? Do you have a cell/mobile phone, a license plate, use any social media (e.g "we want your data/info to mine") sites... ??? Easy to look up your...

Nice work....!:smile:

You want to use the lug-centric balancing, as on the stock style rims the lugs locate the rim. Most shops should have adapters to lug balance. Using the hub with a tapered spindle can lead to minor offsets, as the center hole does not locate the rim when mounting... And yes, if the rims are...

Think the deck lid never really lined up with the caps. Mine, and pretty much every one I've seen, sit about 1/8-1/4" higher than the caps. Branda sells a 68-70 Shelby convertible trunk lid seal. Which is different to the standard Mustang one on thier site, would think it is the same as the...

Mine from NPD lined right up... but you can't use the OEM S code air cleaner with them, not sure about small blocks.

Thanks, an odd idea, and one I'm going to likely just have to mock up and fabricate. Anyone got the dimension of the lower edge of the Marchal light to the grille opening?

Thanks, but how it was done on a Shelby is not my question. As noted I want to use the Marchal brackets on a '68 Shelby, not do stock stone guard mount, to get the thru-the-grille "floating" look of the early GT/CS... I do not want pedestal mounts...

Looking at a one-off for a project. Doing up an EXP500 replica/clone/tribute/devils' spawn/bastard child (pick one)... I am considering an attempt to use Marchal brakets on the 68 Shelby front end to get the "floating" look of the early GT/CS Marchals (I like it sooooo much better than the...

Good info. But one thing I've always wondered is how the.... &*)#%.. you get a torque wrech on areas like the lines on the distribution block... On most its a challenge to make a custom bent wrench to even get to the nut, let alone a torque wrench... which mostly rely on sockets and a long...

Unless you want dead stock dump the 4300, not a great carb with a lot of issues that never reall got worked out. And 68 was early days so even more problematci. Ecomomy/emissions driven, so while they "work" not optimal. Also, if you do go that route be careful what you buy as there are...

i bought one for my C code here... http://gottafishcarburetors.com/
