my car was ordered by Al Grillo Ford but a invoice change was made and car was delivered to and sold at Gotham Ford. i could probably have a sign shop to remake it for me. but does anyone know someone that may already have them or a good scan of it?

3 of my 6 taillight covers were lost due to 3 had rust so those were put elsewhere. I knew they were there somewhere and I would bump into the when I wasnt searching for them. So I started fixing the rust.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Wiring
April 20, 2020, 01:06:06 PM
i purchased this wiring from Pete over 10 years ago if i remember right. never took it out of the box. It was in my hot florida garage and the packing peanuts melted to it. My fault but luckily they cleaned up with a rag and a light coat of solvent.

i also went thru some parts i was givin back when i bought the car, i Found this box of Dynamite sticks with what looks like a shelby part number on it but i cant read it. not sure if these are nos or memorex.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Taillight question
April 13, 2020, 02:32:30 PM
I was test fitting the taillight panel in my car today with all the lights in it. how does the wiring for the taillights go from inside the trunk to the taillights. ive misplaced my 2 large taillight covers. (they are here somewhere) did they have a hole for the harness to go thru? does the taillight harness run like the mustang across the tail panel  to the passenger side taillight?  thanks any pictures would be appreciated
