That is GORGEOUS, Neil

Damn, I wish I had that kind of talent, whimper, whimper.......

Keep it up Neil

Hey Neil, If your interested, I have a spare Deluxe wheel, but needs some resto work, couple cracks. Yours for the price of shipping, or anyone else who might want it.

I'll sure take it, and add it to my inventory. I'm prepping a Deluxe wheel now for my Black/Gold CS.

Neil

Car looks awesome!!! Great job Neil!

 

[68 special]

Neil, I'll scrounge up a box and get it out to you.

I don't have room for much inventory, plus we'll probably be moving this spring also.

I've had the CS out for a couple local runs. Everything is working well...

Neil,

How far out do the exhaust tips stick out on your car? I'm doing mine tomm and not sure what I should go with. I have the Shelby rolled exhaust tips looks like you do too.

Thanks
Rick

Here's a photo of an exhaust tip as on my CS: Looks like 1 1/2" protrusion from the lip of the valance cutout edge.

Neil

 

[CaliStang68]

Thanks Neil! Would you go with that length again or shorter, longer?

Thank you very much.
Rick

 

[franklinair]

I'm OK with the 1 1/2" look.

Got the new Black seat belts back this week from Python. BEAUTIFUL. I've got the placement & hardware (bolts,washers, spacers) figured out- thanks to Richard's (dalorzo) previous seat belt post.
The shoulder harness seems a bit of a problem. The bolts are a smaller size than the lap belt bolts, and when I try to tighten them, they really bind up about halfway in. I'm leery about putting too much torque on them. Maybe I should use a tap as a thread chaser? Anyone else experienced this?

Neil

Neil I would chase them rather than taking a chance of striping them.

 

[robert campbell]

Dad,
Me two! I would also compare the bolt threads to the tap you chase them with. I would not suspect a metric bolt, but stranger things have happened. As you know many cars in the 90's were a mixture of metric and standard. I run into lots of aftermarket parts and fasteners that are metric these days. Drives me nuts sometimes!

. Drives me nuts sometimes!

Rob

Would that be metric or SAE nuts?

 

[stangfan]

Would that be metric or SAE nuts?

Groan....

 

[robert campbell]

Would that be metric or SAE nuts?

And I did not even see that!!! I am so stupid or creative!!! Not!!!! Well creative anyway!!

Installed my new dash plaque today...

Neil

and where does one get a dash plaque like that?

Btw.. Nice...

 

[franklinair]

A friend made some for me. If I get any more I'll let you know.

Neil

 

[CaliStang68]

Ditto, on the dash plaque! That would look good with a black interior as well. Like mine! let me know too, if possible.

 

[whodat]

Neil what kind of machine does he use for that?
