Yes will be there - go to them across the country - this one is really close to home so it makes it easy. Hope the book will be done in time. Need to review the restoration section when completed and get the last drawing to Paul for that section Hope others can make it - not allot of shows...

This might help - needed to fix/replace the threaded inserts on a 69 Shelby taillight panel last year http://www.stangfix.com/concoursmustang/filevault/Articles/Article_69Shelby_Taillights.pdf

If its a restoration - Semi-gloss black If not - any color that makes you happy ;)

Little confused - don't worry its just me. Are you asking about the front wheelwells, rear wheel wells or the back side of the front fenders? Headlight buckets were painted off if the car - body color on those surfaces that would be seen once installed. Over spray of exterior color (a little or...

Firstly I assume that since your asking - your restoring this car ;) Too much? - no but would fade it a bit more (the black over the red) holding the can further from the panel. Too close also produces those irregular edges we see on the drivers side. Photo-shopped your picture to add a...

Yes seen a few of them - have seen allot more of the blue plastic ones that are shaped kind of the same. It's one of a number of retrofit aftermarket emission devices from the late 70-early 80's if I remember the time period correctly Believe the hose that is disconnected is attached to the...

Done the grounding switch but a kill switch without a hood lock might not really work, since few hot wire the car from inside the car (under the dash) like in the old movies ;) Just a consideration IME

I would consider and at least compare Alloy wire looms Pete over at CoralSnake is (well most of the time) running some sort of sale on the stuff he handles.

Do you only need the cap or the complete choke unit?

+1 for semi-gloss

Looks like a great start - but don't tease us. What kind of options did this one originally have.

Since this topic has been revisited I would suggest that the article not be followed fully if your looking for a concours finish.Though Jim did a great job on the engine and article the information is 17 years old or more and could use some updating. As one example the exhaust manifolds are...

Judging organizations for years have basically required that all cars, except dark colored cars, should have the pinch welds blacked out and its been left at that. At the same time (as we see more original cars) I've grown to accept that even dark colors were done and we can discuss if the...

Since this whole area will be blacked out you do not have to treat it like they did from the factory. IMHO Apply a good quality primer sealer in a red oxide color so that any overspray will blend with what should be there. Reapply the seam sealer in the seam between the firewall/cowl and...

Would not suggest Rustolem by it's self (some are using it on the third member but overcoating it with a clear gloss) IMHO its way too flat and looks like red oxide primer, a open primer look, not the original epoxy based primer sealer used. Had to redo a 68 in 2008 that had been done with...

Can I have "none of the above" ??? ;) None of those are original cars - all have been repainted. Pic #1 - Only pinch weld overspray - no body color Pic #2 - Only body color - no pinch weld black overspray Pic #3 - Like #1 - And no its been repainted. Notice no drips on the ribs of the...

WOW !!! IMHO do not copy these if your looking to reproduce the look of a San Jose 68 car (convertible, coupe or fastback) the pattern of spray undercoating around all the seams and panels was not something that was done at the plant not typical of what was done at dealerships. Sorry you asked...

We often refer to two similar products by different names in an attempt to make it easier to understand Undercoating = a product applied at or by the dealership at or after it was delivered Sound deadener = a product applied at the factory to deaden road noise, protect the car from gravel and...

Sure that all of those earlier attempts have or can be corrected and revised since we now have the Ford records. Would guess that some of the cars in the earlier registries will drop off the pages during the next printing

If it would help here is a picture of a NOS one boxed in. 68 Base is bare, body is dyed a goldish color (not anodized but have hear people describing it as such) Had a bunch of these years ago that I purchased from a high school. Ford had donated a bunch of stuff back in the 68's and it sat...
