I have a 66 gt350h blue and gold. I was told that the body side inside of the brake scoop is supposed to be painted black and not body color. I am tryoing to find out where the black paint should start.

Trying to find out if the door end caps that snap into the jam area of the door to cover window hardware should be painted body color or left the plated finish. I am thinking that they should be left plated finish.

Looking for advise on what could be causes and fixes to running hot/overheating. Just finishing up last details and starting to drive 6S1164 after restoring it and have run into a problem. The car is running hot when I drive it. Takes about five to ten minutes of driving around and engine temp on the gauge has the needle running at the middle to far right of the "M" and up towards the "P". When shot with a heat gun reads about 200 on the water pump and around 210 on the front of the heads. When I stop and shut car off pushes a little coolant out, about half a cup or so. The engine has been completely rebuilt to stock specs, has a 160 degree thermostat, has original radiator that had to be re-cored, along with the heater core, correct hi-po water pump and original aluminum 4 blade fan and re-pop fan shroud. It also has an original rebuilt C6ZF-F flat top autolite carburetor.  Timing is actually set 2 degrees retarded for stock specs and running a pertronix electronic ignition. I am running Evans Waterless Coolant.

If anyone has any advise it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I am getting ready to clean up and re-paint my jack for the trunk and wanted to find out what the correct sheen of black is. It looks to be gloss but not 100% sure.

Redoing the vent window frames and wanted to find out if anybody knows somewhere or somebody that can put new pivot blocks on my original frames. The stainless frames are in excellent shape but the pivot blocks that go up into the outer frame are in poor share.
Thank you.

Redoing the seats for my car and wanted to find out if anyone knows where to get the rods that weave through the burlap. If they are not available does anyone have a recommendation of what can be used to recreate them.

Looking for some advise on what to use on my vent window to seal the glass in the pivoting frame. I took everything apart to re-chrome and polish everything and now I have the seal that goes into the main frame that mounts to the door but can not find any one that makes the seal for the glass to the pivoting frame. Looking for some help please. Thank you.

I am in the process of finishing restoration of the LH outside rotunda mirror for 6S1164 and need to replace the glass. It had been broken some time in the past and was replaced by a cheap stick on mirror. I wanted to find out if anyone can tell me the outside diameter of the glass so that I can have a new one cut from the glass shop. Thank you.

I have just got 6s1164 back running again. All the gauges are working except the tach. When we rebuilt the motor we decider to put a pertronix module in the distributor instead of the dual points. I have seen where some say that the tach will not work with pertronix and that it will. Looking for a definitive answer. Thank you.

looking for recommendation on tires for 6s1164. I have original magnum 500 wheels and plan on driving the car and wanted to get some suggestions on what everyone is using. Thanks

Got my radiator back from the repair shop and getting ready to repaint it. Wanted to find out if the finned area gets painted black as well as the rest of the radiator. I have found that the petcock gets painted and trans fittings are natural color, but nothing about center fins. All information is greatly appreciated.

I am getting ready to purchase a new interior for 6s1164 as I am nearing this point in the restoration. I wanted to find out if there is a preferred manufacturer to use. Looking to get something as close to original as possible. Thank you. 

I am looking for information on the top tee on the mico master cylinder that has the bleeder screw on top of it. I need to find out if they are available or somebody has one that they can part with. Mine was misplaced in the shuffle and I can't find it as of yet. I am not giving up looking for it but need to finish the brake system. Thank you.

I am trying to find out what the correct backspacing is for a magnum 500 wheel for a 1966 GT350H. I am having my wheels restored right now and there are two different measurements on the set that I have that are a complete set of 5. The first measurement is 3 5/8" and the second is 4 1/8". I would like to find out what is correct so the wheels can be reassembled with the correct back spacing. Thank you.

I wanted to get recommendations for paint to restore the grill on my 66 gt350H. I would like to get as close to original shade and sheen as I can. My grill is so badly weathered that I need some input. Thank you.

I would like to find out if anybody knows of a good place in or near California to have a set of original magnum 500 wheels for my 66 GT350H restored.
Thank you.
