I am glad to hear that your recovery is doing well. Since you have a little extra time may be you can track down that S code thief and inflect the justice you mentioned.

My engine and transmission successfully mated yesterday producing a complete drive train.

Bret you are welcome to use it after Rob. Just mail it back to me when you are done. Marty

Thanks guys looks like you have nailed it.

Rob PM me your address and I'll get it on it's way to you. You are right about using the standard panels , it would be a lot of work for less than perfect results. If he is paying for the labor it might cost more than the new panels.

[ I have a 68 Coupe that has standard interior with A/C. He purchased deluxe door panels, bottom grills, (yippee, that will be fun to drill and file fit 6 plastic inserts on each door) and all the goods to put them on. Rob Rob I have pattern for the door bottom grill and light. If that...

I do not know the #s but they are a washer head locking nut. No washers used.

Lower the engine close to the floor. Put the transmission on a dolly and roll them together. You can raise or lower the lift to help a line. Good luck I am ready to do the same for the GT350, got it down on it's wheels today.

The guys in my local hardware store know I am a car guy so they asked me to identify the car on this can. One of them thought it was a Mustang (not) I did not know. Can you help us out? Marty

I am reasonably sure that it was not a 7/16 nut. Ever one that I have ever seen are 1/2 which is the standard size for a 5/16 - 18 bolt. The only place on the car that I know of a 7/16 nut on a 5/16 bolt are the carb studs. I will have to have a look at that book Richard.

With out looking it up, the casting was made in 1967 and it was a 28 spline axel. Goggle search is you friend:smile:

The 2 = The axel which was a 2.79:1 Highway gears but good MPG

There are also companies that will refurbish you under dash harness. I have used one in Florida and was very pleased with the results. I have also used the coral snake's products and they are first rate. Marty

You are correct about the crazy cost of originals. Donna was your dash pad green? If so this is one of the hardest colors to find. Other colors can be dyed but I would not use a red to dye green. Any future damage would be very visible. I have a original that is a bit hard and not perfect that I...

If I were to guess either will work. The 5R is rebuilt and the other is new. The 5R looks like a original style. Marty

John I believe that they were cadmium w/ a red rubber seal. I do not know why it was listed special finish. Marty

Many parts have made the trip to my home so when I only have a few minuets I can work on them. There are a lot of polishing and cleaning projects on a restoration. You may what to consider how long it takes to find a good project before you part with the J code. Just my two cents. Marty

Neil that looks fantastic! I am glad you got it straitened out. :grin:

OEM is always your best bet for almost any part. There is no OEM carpet available but I sure wish there was you can hold up the repo and see light through it.
