Thank you for your reply.  I will check on the 427 canister.  Can't wait to get this car started.  So close now.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / 1967 Shelby Fuel Line
April 13, 2020, 03:56:42 PM
Question.  Is the 5/16th one piece fuel line (early 67 cars) used throughout the 67 production or did it change to the 2 piece 3/8 line later in production?  I know that the one piece runs down the transmission tunnel whereas the two piece runs along the rocker. What other differences are there besides the crossover shield?

What size fuel line did the 67 Shelby have from the pump to the carb log?

I flattened a section my 5/16th fuel line jacking the car up with my floor jack.  I am considering replacing it with
a 3/8 line since I have a 427 side oiler, MR.

Thanks

Awesome.  That its what I needed to know.  Thanks Bob!  And JD, thank you for the pic.  Is that your car?
I collected a library full of pics for this restoration and do not always remember where they came from.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Exhaust Tip/Exhaust Update
April 08, 2020, 08:32:09 PM
Is this pic and measurement (3.75") accurate for an early car with the chrome trim around the top?  I have a 67 GT 500 if that makes difference.
Thanks
Ron


Update: 
Do you guys think this system is going to hang too low?   Ordered some tips that I think will work.  More pics next week.

Ok.  Thank you for the response.   The chrome tips that came with the set are turned down at the end and I can't go for that.
My guess is that cutting them to the correct angle will only chip/ruin the chrome coating.   Correct?

WE'VE ALL BEEN EXPOSED
a poem by Sarah Bourns
We've all been exposed.
Not necessarily to the virus
We've all been exposed BY the virus.
Corona is exposing us.
Exposing our weak sides.
Exposing our dark sides.
Exposing what normally lies far beneath the surface of our souls, hidden by the invisible masks we wear.
Now exposed by the paper masks we can't hide far enough behind.
Corona is exposing our addiction to comfort.
Our obsession with control.
Our compulsion to hoard.
Our protection of self.
Corona is peeling back our layers. Tearing down our walls.
Revealing our illusions.
Leveling our best-laid plans.
Corona is exposing the gods we worship:
Our health
Our hurry
Our sense of security.
Our favorite lies
Our secret lusts
Our misplaced trust.
Corona is calling everything into question:
What is the church without a building?
What is my worth without an income?
How do we plan without certainty?
How do we love despite risk?
Corona is exposing me.
My mindless numbing
My endless scrolling
My careless words
My fragile nerves.
We've all been exposed.
Our junk laid bare.
Our fears made known.
The band-aid torn.
The masquerade done.
So what now? What's left?
Clean hands
Clear eyes
Tender hearts.
What Corona reveals, God can heal.
Come Lord Jesus.
Have mercy on us.

The headers are FPA and the exhaust is 2.5"
I just have to figure out how to get the stock looking exhaust tips to fit.

Thanks for all the great comments.  It is nice to celebrate this milestone. 
I even shared it with owner number two (1968-73).  He said, "Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Unbelievable.  Does that bring back memories.  Is it for sale? I love it."

LoL
