Hi Brant,

Please tell me the BW T10M1 assembly date.  Is it near December 4, 1964?  I am betting the main case does not have a casting date.

Thanks

Cory,

Right...no early ones that I have seen have a casting date on the side.

Assembly date in Dec. 3, 1964.

Carb date code 4B5, questions here, I know 4 is year, B is December, not February? I always thought they went as far as 4th week ?
 My 67’ lemans carb is 633: Third week of March 66.

Thanks

I find the black overspray on the grille support  interesting. I would have expected the grilles to be originally assembled with those already finished in black, and the rivets left natural... guess I need education.. what might SAI have affected here?

It looks like Jeremy chose to leave the supports in place instead of removing.  It's a cleaner job to remove them and paint the pieces separately, but a rivet squeezer tool is required to reassemble them.  I always disassemble and have tubular rivets and the tool to put them back correct.

The grille details are strictly Ford/San Jose.  Only thing SA did to the grille was place a fender emblem on the left side.

Wouldn't B be December?
