You guys are right there was only one base that was cut to fit the application. There is one more different applicataion that is the convertible base and that one was cut too. The one thing to remember is the old carpenters rule measure twice and cut once! Marty

Happy New Year Mike, I was allways going to ask you what did you ever figure out on that hole in your LH front door post? I think about your car now and then. I can't wait to see you in WA. Marty

Craig Shelby installed them on the LH rear, Rick's is on the RH rear. The antenna was a dealer installed idem so I would say put it where you like it. Marty

Great looking car! May be something the Denver DSO should do. Marty

Craig the standard base will work. I can get some pictures of my best freinds car that has the rear mount ant. I will see him for New Years eve. Marty

Very Cool Steve, I have a freind who just ordered one. I can't wait for a ride! Marty

Update I found the correct NOS fabric at SNS Auto Fabrics for $95 per yard. TMI has agreed to replace the panels for free. Still some expensive seat covers but at least they will be correct. Marty

Got mine today for Christmas Love it!

Very cool! Rob That's one bad Boy!

Well said Jeff. Maybe the assastant national head judges and their gold cards could work on their model year and submit it yearly at the judges meeting. It really helps me to keep thinking about this stuff through out the year, not just at the two or three national show we can make. Marty

No there is nothing more in the MCA rules. Every thing can not be written or it would fill volumes. The MCA is fortunate to have some of the best people as their judges. Much like the fokes on this site. If the car has two tone paint option the entire bezel and grill would be black.

1. R= Zinc dicromate T&F= raw pot metal 2. Body color 3. San Jose cars no clips The above are my thoughts from experance and conversations with other judges. As I said earlier I would onld deduct for no cilp if there was evidence there had been one installed no matter what plant it was built in...

You know as well as I there are very few absolutes in aerias like this. All I am saying is I belive only the west cost manufactuerer used the dichromate plating. Another differance like this is on the wiring harnesses the clips that hold it to the metal are a different style on San Jose cars...

David yours appears to never have had a screw. As I told Rob above sometime take off a nut and look and see if it was plated with zinc dichromate. I do not think the latter style strap wire retainer are reproduced and orignals are getting hard to find. Marty

Yes the green car is the 67. It was built Nov. 4th 1966. I have only seen the zinc dichromate on San Jose cars. Rob pull off one of the nuts that hold the turn housing to the hood and see if there is any zinc dichromate under the nut. That might tell us that some San Jose used clips or someone...

SORRY I asked but it is good to know I am not the only one to have bad days like that. It is also great to have this group to help. Marty

My wife Tari has been after me to put up some out side Christmas decorations. I finally got to it today, thought red and green Mustangs would be perfect! Right? Merry Christmas to every one from the Rupp's

Here are photos of the San Jose 67 and a Dearborn 68. The 67 has no hole and zinc dichromate plating and friction tape seal under socket. It also is a early harness compare wire clips to the 68. Marty

Yes Russ you are right yellow is correct and it does not hurt to see a little bit here and there. One of the picky judges!

Arlie, What's going on with the comealong and the tow strap? Marty
