Up For Auction / Re: 8T02R203198-2546 on BaT
« on: May 01, 2023, 02:02:48 PM »I have actually tagged BaT on auctions offering my services when I retire to write their descriptions for them as it appears those who they have hired do not know what they are doing.
Had to go through several iterations with them on the description of a car I sold on there recently. It was an exercise in patience restraint for sure! It seems there are so many writers and huge inconsistency from one to the other.

Wanted to Buy / Re: 65/66 mustang passenger side interior light pad
« on: May 01, 2023, 11:17:00 AM »
I'm guessing the pad was made to prevent the light bracket collapsing when tightening. It may also have inhibited a good ground, possibly something intended early in production and then foregone later. We know there are details in the assembly manuals that are not correct or a transient detail that was an early or late type of thing.
In regards to the screws, I have seen many San Jose cars with a regular sheet metal 3/8" hex head holding the driver side bracket on and some with with that type of screw on both. The predominant is the machine thread phillips panhead with captured tooth washer and the same style nut used on the tail light housing to body attachment.

I had a few K3 ones and they were identical to K2. The K3 ones I had were late dated, like June/July of '68.

« on: April 15, 2023, 12:08:10 AM »Charles, congratulations on a splendid auction! Excellent pics, descriptions and attention to details. One of the very best I've seen on BAT.
Thanks, appreciate it! Was my first time listing a car and didn't know what to expect, was pleasantly surprised with the commentary and how things went.

The mounts that bolt to the block? There are decent repro available. A lot of these ended up getting rusty/pitted.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Re: A Traitor among us!!!
« on: April 11, 2023, 10:16:57 AM »Like many of us Ed is not one dimensional. We get pegged as the "Shelby" guys but in reality a lot of us grew up with and have a lot of knowledge about all cars available in the day. When Ed was bought it I was sharing about ways to tell it was a genuine sidepipe car. In addition to mostly Fords I owned several Vettes, BB Mopars, Trans am etc.( I did draw the line at AMC though) Its always fun when you are hanging around the GM crowd and start pointing out details they don't even know lol
Yep! I have 4 MGB's currently, 2 '79's and 2 '67's. I'm also into BMW M cars. :-)

Yep, it was finished just in time for that show. It was actually outside the track at Marcus's Rare Cars Display.
