SAAC Forum

I need to replace the white top, well-liner and boot cover on my '69 GT500. Hinged tinted glass, brass zipper on the original. Frame is fine. Have reviewed all posts here [and in Mustang forums] and found wide/varying viewpoints on what is the best product currently on the market. [Also, if anybody has one they aren't using, would love to talk]. Advice and input very much appreciated!  Thanks....

I figure I should probably post here as well. If you have 1969-70 GT500 items, please take a look at the "Wanted" section for more info on a list of tough parts I now need because they were lost in a storage-area fire. Car itself is fine, it was elsewhere, but I lost a lot of hard-to-find items.  Thanks to all members...

Storage unit fire destroyed most of my stored parts [car itself is fine, was/is at the paint shop, thank God] Advice/ideas very welcome. Seeking excellent OEM parts, if at all possible. [I know...but I figure I'll at least try and see what's out there]. Car is '69 vert. Need:  complete convertible rollbar.  Entire dash assy w/gauges. Center console - complete. Tinted windshield & door glass. Complete white knitted vinyl high-back interior, all seats, door panels & white plastic trim. Grill. Seat belts. Park lamps, complete. Complete smog system. Complete white top w/folding glass. Will be at SAAC 7/12-13 to see what's available. Pls PM me with responses, suggestions, etc. Live near Columbus, OH.  Also, many thanks to Coralsnake, Kerry Mc and Jesse B. for ideas and advice. Thanks much. Dave.     

I have my originals but they need some work, so going fishing here.  Seeking nice units, both sides, to complete resto. Have glass and innards. May consider a 1970 OEM set.  Please call Dave  614-519-5389. Thanks...

OK, I went back and looked for info on this topic but it's too dated to "reply to", so here's a new thread.

I have the original "tabbed" hood molding for my '69 500 project, but it has some marks on it. Not bad but not great. I also have what appear to be original eyebrows, but they are not useable as is.  So the question, should I seek to have all three parts "repaired", and if so, where?  Or are there excellent replacement sources [repro or otherwise] that someone could recommend.  I read that Branda used to have some pieces, and also that Paul's Chrome was being used by some for rework, etc.  So like with my previous wheels question, I am asking for any advice on what to do and who to work with. All ideas would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks....

Just saw this, so am sharing.    Silver jade automatic car.  Appears to be a '69 retagged as a '70?   Up in Canada.  VIN #:  0f02r481037   https://www.ironplanet.com/jsp/s/item/3666281.      Seller/auction mgr direct contact phone is :  925.225.8882  [Jason] 

Thanks for all the input on wheels [prior post]. Having settled on Paradise repro's, I saw they have a 4" backspace, but Craig's website says they can be offset-customized as well. That got me thinking about brakes. So I have the original disc/drum setup on a GT500, which I plan to drive some, and I want the car to look true-to-original as much as possible.  So I am not in need of anything custom, but figure pre-purchase is the time to seek expert input. So, I would appreciate any thoughts/product recommendations on the brakes, and is there any compelling logic to consider varying the wheel dimensions from standard?   Thanks, as always.....
