Appeals / Re: Recommendation for engine shipping
« on: October 13, 2022, 06:49:41 PM »
I recently shipped two engines from Daytona Beach to Sacramento area and strongly recommend building a box around them. One was a new Boss block and the other an aluminum 427 FE. Can't be too careful. I think both went via AAA Cooper with no issues or problems.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 Lucas fog lights

Lucas fog lights on Pittsburgh Craig's List for $800. Look like they need quite a bit of work and have a cracked lense, but if you need.

It would make the most sense that the bolt threads and nuts be protected by installing to the engine compartment side.

I'm currently using a Carter pump in my GT 350 Competition replica, and it is steady at 5.5 psi.

Pretty cool Mercury station wagon in Hemmings this month. How about a custom order 428 with 4-spd?

I think if you use the oval head screws noted in the assembly manuals, the washers are required to seat correctly. It seems to me that when the interior panels were removed to install the side scoops, likely the mechanics were stripping the small screws holding the bezels to the fiberglass. Maybe slightly larger screws were used to reinstall the bezels when gorilla hands stripped them out. Just a theory. My July 68 car had the washers.

Last custom radiator I had made was for a Boss 302 T/A replica. Ron Davis Radiators used my 69 Boss radiator print and built a work of art!

Been to the museum twice for shows and worth the time to see the collection of Ford GT's and Shelby's. Would highly recommend, as the museum is only open for special events.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Re: How to get the excess sealant off when installing upper and lower door scoops?
« on: September 04, 2022, 07:04:17 PM »
Tool the excess with saliva on a wet finger. Let the excess cure and wipe off with a dry finger. It will roll off as silicone will peel away when proper depth to width is not achieved.

Pete,

Popped right off with a small screwdriver. Will blast and paint tomorrow.

Thank you very much.

« on: September 01, 2022, 06:03:55 PM »
Is there a suggested method to remove the metal seat belt cover to strip and allow for painting? My passenger side rear belt is scuffed from use and pulling it through the rear seat.

Thank you.

Yup, just finishing up refurbishing my interior rear panels and trim and definitely a bend in the trim strips. My driver's side trim is bent more than the passenger side, so roll bar is probably offset slightly towards the driver side.
