Worth every penny, has the "caution Fan" sticker, but some one stole the smog...

Knowledgeable guy for sure ! Spoke with him several times on his radio program. He will be missed .

1- center hood scoop grille, any tricks to install one? Type of adhesive that can be used ?
2- hood pins... replacement kit. Does the polished plate go on the backside of the hood or on top under the spring ?
As always thanks for any insights. Peace

It is screwed in as far as it will go.  I guess mine is just too stiff.

You mean all the way out ?? It should screw back away from the throttle, or forward towards it. Make sure the little pin is not sticking . Good luck.

I know where there's a Highland green 350, 4-spd, saddle interior , a/c car.   And its owner is proud to tell anyone who asks that he has it !  Lucky man !

Well... you could all Commanders fans WTF ?   

I believe the 65/66 used the thicker plates .

Maybe the best, most exciting set of playoff games ever....

Saw that, looks like a decent driver, but pics appear to show rot through on the inner rockers ?  Or maybe just a bad camera angle ?

Cut appox 1 1/2" off of the top excess material where it goes along the back glass. Then peel the vinyl back off the backer board for 2-3 inches all the way around. Re-glue it with spray trim adhesive or contact cement. With plastic trim panel tool or putty knife you can pust the excess under the gasket. Also , hot glue gun the square on the back that holds the clip before you install.  This has worked pretty well in the past.
Good luck

The thing speaks for itself...

I don't know when it happened, but early Shelby owner's never used to be such judgmental pricks.  From what I can tell the older some of you get, the worse you've become though.  Perhaps you just feel safe saying whatever you like from the security you afford yourself by being behind your computer screen, a phenomenon that seems to be the new norm since social media has exposed how awful people, especially later life adults, really are.  It's just odd, because I'm certain that face to face you'd keep your opinions to yourself because you'd be too afraid of the consequences that would come from showing your true self.

Not all of us want to spend thousands of hours to preserve washers and screws.  I'm not making any claims of performing a proper "restoration" in any authentic or concourse sense.  At the same time, there is a significant effort being made to preserve the integrity of the car so it can easily be returned to stock and restored to its correct original form if I ever desire that in the future.  Every original part from the car is being retained, and every effort has gone into acquiring missing parts for future restoration purposes.  The very limited modifications to the chassis are correctable with relative ease (I'll need to weld up a small hole or two), but none of that matters if it doesn't fit your opinion of what this car should be I'm sure.

Regardless, it's my car, these are my choices, if you don't like them, please: don't watch the video content, and definitely don't bother asking me about it here or in person if we cross paths at a regional event or a future convention. 

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Wow ,I didn't know being supportive and wishing you success could be taken as such a bad thing. Geez after putting yourself on the internet for all to see and comment on you react to my least harsh yet supportive  commentary then I hope you don't do something very stupid when someone is truly critical.

I guess your right, most of us are "older" , but I doubt any would be so scared of you as to not give their honest opinion when ask... and sometimes when not ask. Get over yourself youngen.

Thanks Bob.  Ive let the owner know we need another plate.

Thanks... this is the shifter pic

So I was given this plate and this shifter to install in the 69 SCJ I've been working on. However , I cannot find two plate holes , threaded or un-threaded that the shifter will line up with. Am I looking at incompatible components? Top loader of course.
Thanks
