some pics. File C shows the trunk light wire painted. FWIW the paint on the wiring and clip is the factory paint from AO Smith. 2 of my mounting bolts should be different also...I did the car in 2000.

If ACSCO Products created the originals, and then continued to create the emblems for the aftermarket. Wouldn't those emblems be virtually the same? Tooling wears out over time, so there may be less crispness in the later emblems.
I am not aware if anyone other than ACSCO Products, that has made reproduction emblems. Anyone know?

Quote from: 427heaven on March 14, 2024, 12:10:22 PM+1 Been dealing with them since the T Bird parts store days and have a very low 3 digit customer number which is also the CI of a Chevy engine. It is easier to give them my number then spell my last name on orders. Rarely have I ever taken parts back and most of the ones were Drake parts doing my 68 Shelby. I've known Scott there for about 4 decades.
Much , much more, good comes from out of the NPD doors... then bad. We are glad they are on our team.
Quote from: Bob Gaines on March 14, 2024, 09:45:21 AMLOL that description is funny. The best way to do this is to get a bunch of friends together and buy a quart or pint matched to a pump or spray card and have it put it rattle cans and split the cost. I'd bet less than 18 bucks a can. Since they do not have the color on the cap I have no clue if it was my spray card that they made it off of now with their latest mix off of several pumps. See the blue on this pump? It was matched pretty much exact off of a 1968 390 pump that was built around the same time as my car. More blue than most but painter's supply mixed it and I had them fill up a bunch of rattle cans and IIRC the end cost was about 10 bucks a can in 2008. THe lighting make the color vary in the few pics I have of my 68 pump.Quote from: JD on March 14, 2024, 09:32:47 AMI got a chuckle at the NPD description. I will have to have a talk with Scott from NPD so he can be informed . I have not seen the NPD paint sprayed out recently but have a high confidence level that it will fall within the parameters.
As Bob G has stated there was a range of this color,.
another option...

Quote from: Greg P on March 13, 2024, 06:10:35 PMA 1968 Shelby that I restored in the late 2000s soured me on Drake products. The parts I bought didn't fit correctly so I took back(finally found NOS) what I bought and the one thing that fit but wasn't correct-a 4 speed shift knob- the incorrect silver ring(should be chrome) started deteriorating within a year. The knob was put on for driving wear as I had a nice original one for it put away. Too bad the Mustang community doesn't have the quality of overall parts available as the Mopar community does.
Not sure if it helps, but Scott drake provides a rattle can of that color.
Quote from: Bob Gaines on March 11, 2024, 11:20:21 PMI've seen many shades of that teal blue as I call it. I got a can once mixed up by George Huisman off of a 1969 NOS B9 PS pump. I also mixed some paint up off an original 68 390 pump. I have a NOS 1970 PS pump put away for 4 decades that is another shade of it. NPD used my 68 shade for a long time as they were selling incorrectly the 65 shade at the time-mid 2000s. I gave a color swatch to my friend Scott at NPD back around 2007. Scott does the ordering and catalogs for the 65-73 Mustangs for NPD in Canton Mi.Quote from: FordGT on March 11, 2024, 10:33:01 PMIt depends on the power steering pump MFG. The ones with the W on the second line on the metal tag on the back of the pump are made by TRW and are black . It will also have a TRW trademark made into the cast iron casting on the front of the pump core. The pump that has a F in that second line is made by Ford Thompson and is painted the teal bluish color . Both pumps were used in 67 San Jose production. There are also differences in the dipstick and aluminum pump bracket depending on MFG too.
What is the correct color for a 67' power steering pump housing can color?
I see lite blueish silver or that Blueish green color.
Thanks
Quote from: tesgt350 on March 11, 2024, 03:30:50 PM68 GT350 didn't have a seal as well as the 68 GT500. KR had a seal around the air cleaner. 69-70 GT350 and 500s they were glued to the hood and were different diameters.
Just for the Knowledge, Are the 68 GT 350, 68 GT 500, 68 GT 500KR, 69 GT 350 and 69 GT500 all the Same or are any of them Different?
Quote from: Special Ed on March 10, 2024, 04:41:45 PMare you having both done? I have my originals off of my GT350 vert and my old GT500.
i sent one to a guy to have made but have no info yet as to when they will be done.
Quote from: Coralsnake on March 09, 2024, 10:19:03 AMPete, I just looked into the registry and saw Lee Detrick was a prior owner. Unless Lee had 2 68s that he turned into drag cars i remember him telling me it was a wrecked car that he started with. On one forum Lee chimed in on the cars that he has(had?) of his 67(Brutus) and 68 FBs he listed many others including a 68 Shelby. A people search says Lee is 81 now(still alive then I'd think).
Pretty sure that car shelbymann1970 posted is #793 - not a KR

what is the personal property tax rate on autos in Mo? I read online where Va is 4.15 per 100 so that would be 4150 per 100K per year just to own the car in Va? that is nuts. Here in Mi I have paid ZERO for years and have a lifetime same year plate on my Shelby. Ditto for my Mach1.
Quote from: Coralsnake on March 09, 2024, 10:19:03 AMVery well could be. Back in the 70s/80s I've known a few cars that were "S" codes but the owners said KRs. I'm going off of what Lee said 4 decades ago.

Quote from: Bob Gaines on March 09, 2024, 10:06:27 AMI got a pair of these in the boxes. I'll be nice and sell a pair for what he wants for 1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/266259098980?itmmeta=01HRHY415PMSYWWXQTM0MNVP99&hash=item3dfe476d64:g:1aIAAOSwOzJlV6cr
Just look at the prices of other items he sells and you may be surprised. Do the prices give a indication of other things like over sized ego? Heaven help you if question anything. I messaged him and suggested that he include 67 Ten spoke as a additional application for some S7MS lugnuts he had listed for 69 Shelby so as to widen his net and wished him well with his auction . You would have thought I called him a dirty name the way he messaged back and bit my head off. Kind of a D!(K move if you ask me.
