I do have one question....is there an option to display the "Recent Posts" as "Recent Topics"? IIRC the previous forum version was like that, looked but couldn't find anything for this update. I find with "Recent Posts" the list gets too cluttered with new posts to the same topic.
I agree. Go back to the previous system if possible.
Quote from: mikeh on April 11, 2024, 08:39:56 AMThank guys, I will pass along the info. I personally really like the white stripes especially with white interior, and he is really just doing it as a driver, but it is his call.I chose white stripes to match my top. I understand. Why Ford made that piss yellow gold stripe is a mystery to me (late 60s thing?) and then put it on red and aqua cars where white is a natural bewilders me.
Quote from: Fast Fords on April 10, 2024, 07:26:45 PMI have been told that the hole where the grey cone shape grommet is, could possibly be used on late 69's. The glass does not have ENGLAND on it as it says at the bottom below LUCAS is foreign glass. The is a SAE number on the lens though. These may not be originals but they came off a Canadian Shelby.Trust me as I have numerous correct sets bought over the years thanks to an education by Ed Meyer a few decades ago that these are NOT correct for 68-70. Last year I was fortunate to pick up a set of NOS in the Lucas boxes for a very fair price. Cheaper than a single one I bought NOS in the FORD box a few weeks earlier(Paid 500 for the Ford boxed one and 400 for the pair of the Lucas boxed ones) . I bought my used ones from England sellers also(not pictured). There are a few variations of the "ENGLAND" lenses. my NOS ones here
Quote from: mikeh on April 10, 2024, 04:34:02 PMIt was repainted many years ago, so hard saying. Makes sense that it wouldn't be on the build sheet, my bad.As Bob mentioned a guy here(me) put white stripes on my car as a personal preference. I have Shelby books from the early 80s that show white stripes on red car. I'm pretty sure that was a repaint preference. We see white stripes also on Gulfstream Aqua cars as they also only got the gold. The only red car I have seen with white stripes on it that was done at ao smith was Carroll Shelbys vert but that was repainted from a different color. Is my info correct,Bob, on Shelby's car that Jim restored?
Thank you!

Usually a bulk price so gather up a bunch of parts or split the bill with a friend like I did a few years ago getting some hinges, springs, fasteners and other part plated.
I believe that one of the hood hinges on my KR is defective and I want to replace it. can someone give me a paint color in rattle form, to make these look appropriate. I believe it is some kind of gray, but a specific maker and paint number would be great. Thanks Steve Meltzer.

Remove the ashtray, remove the 2 screws and pull the top part rearward as there are fragile clips at front.

Quote from: Coralsnake on April 03, 2024, 07:07:19 PMI need to take my emblems over to my friend Seraphim's house and put them on his 68 fenders(my flatter .025 gap emblems) to see how they fit. My emblems were all bought in the 80s at Columbus swap meet. The guy had display cases filled with original Ford emblems.
I just bought some "nos" ones on ebay from vintage auto lit. They are nice and maybe ACSCO, but they are not flat (as advertised) and probably not old stock
