    Correct. The other seal is for a later model application.

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    Steve, Running out of room with all the other stuff on the fenderwalls. Water/Methanol pump and tank. MSD box and remote advance control. Did not constrict it much and have 1/4 inch of clearance. Headers will be coated inside and out which really takes the heat out of them. They are 2 and...

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    Had to replace the T-Pan with a more traditional deep pan. Headers would not clear the kick out of the T-Pan. Will put the T-Pan on the 40 Ford 427 build. Couple pics of the headers on the new 511 motor. Decided to test fit alot of stuff before putting the motor in. Great starter clearance...

    1968 Prepping for media blasting

    Jon, Please remove the engine and tranny and have the bay blasted. It is so easy to do! Also, do remove the interior and do blast out the trunk area. Hand strip the fiberglass and especially the side scoops to preserve the witness line on them. You will thank yourself for this in the future...

    1968 I’d tag and production run number

    Would love to look at that wiring harness. As it goes up to the front of the car. Not enough in the pic to tell if it is original. Certainly, laying in the wrong spot on the taillight panel .

    1968 I’d tag and production run number

    A real clue to the clone thought is if it has original fiberglass. If it is all aftermarket fiberglass, the clone thought always applies. The availability of original fiberglass today is scarce to almost unobtainable. Certainly, a piece here, and real grill there, but it would take some time...

    1968 I’d tag and production run number

    So the car has a visible fender VIN? Is it the same as the door tag? Is it in a 1967 spot on the left front fender apron? Rob
