    1968 Tail light panel question

    Believe so, no one sells multiple variations and the 68 Shelby Unique Parts Catalog notes only one as well.

    1968 Which fiberglass parts are EXACTLY the same as the 1968 Shelby convertible?

    And no two fiberglass parts are "exactly" the same. Minor variations are always there due to the nature of the process. I'd bet if you compared a few OEM parts there would be noticeable dimensional differences between all of them. The fit of the two side scoops on mine is noticeably...

    . An update from Paul Newitt on the New Book

    ... hmmm.... debatable. The prices of prior year CS's and other "specail issues" are no bonanza to those who bought them. Maybe in 30 years if you put it in a time capsule, but I'd bet a CD at fixed interest over the term would do better as an "investment". Love the cars, but the reality is...

    1968 Suspension Rebuilds ...

    Welded caps (tabs, so they can be removed) on the stock upper A-arms, added 90 degree zerk fittings. Export brace. Bilstein street valved shocks. Stock perches on the convertible. Rollers on the coupe (not driving yet). The Bilsteins made a big difference over KYB GR-2's on the convertible...

    1968 Hood Pin Brackets - Mounting Screw Spec.

    Buy the AMK Guide to Ford Fasteners. Calls out the part numbers and specifics for almost every fastener. Using the AMK catalog you get a few Ford numbers, cross referencing the Guide to their catalog makes finding the right parts a bit easier. 55914 is a #14-14, Hex Washer head, AB thread...

    Adhering weatherstripping

    3M Weatherstripping Adhesive http://www.3m.com/product/information/Super-Weatherstrip-Adhesive.html Seems the yellow was OEM, I use the black. For minor repairs a 2oz tube is more than enough.

    1968 Non Power Brakes

    May or may not be relevant, but I did a SSBC drum to power disc conversion on my big block convertible long ago. The kit was easy to install, I did everything but the final connection of the brake lines as I did not have the correct flare tool at the time. Biggest hassle was modifying the...

    1968 Emergency brake issue

    Get under the car and check the tension on the cable guide and arm under the drivers side. Adjust per shop manual. Could just be too loose. If that does not fix it: Jack up the rear end. Pull the wheels and drums. Operate the parking brake and observe the behavior of the return spring and...
