1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Radial Tires ?
March 21, 2019, 08:29:35 AM
I've run both BFGs and Cooper Cobras on my old Stangs.
I recently had a 67 GT FB restored and put 15x7 steel style wheels on it with 215/65/15 Cooper Cobras RWL on it...a tire package from CJPP.
I think that combo looks really well.
Mine are used for weekend driving and an occasional drive to work now and then.
I think I like the look of the Coopers better and they may be a better overall tire.

Interesting concept.
I have always gone to court when dealing with a ticket and the outcome has always been better than just paying it.
I did recently have to fight one and spent all morning in court waiting to see the court rep.  If this company/website
would help me avoid sitting in a hot small courtroom surrounded by 100 people, 50 who don't speak English, I'd use it!

Seems like most of these big consignment places ask the moon!
Most of them don't really know the specific car too well.

Sounds like the poster on FB saw the cars at a local to him shop.
He claims they are being restored.

When I read Bret's post I took it as the car he questioned was surrounded by 20-30 others that didn't have the VIN stamp and it wasn't just 20-30 cars total, a few occasions
where batches didn't have the stamps....which he clarified in his follow up post.

Still makes me scratch my head when someone posts such informative pics!

WCC has a low fuel sender on their site but out of stock.  Not sure if or when they are getting more.
A 67 GTA 390 FB I had still had the factory one in the tank.  I was surprised to see that.

I know it was mentioned on forum 1.0 but does anyone have have the contact information for SMS?
How much material should one get for an entire car? Do you just ask for black comfortweave?

https://smsautofabrics.com/

They will send you a sample if you'd like for free.  Just drop them an email.
For the red they wanted $175/yard.  If I recall you need about 4-6 yards to do front and back seats.
Black I'd think should be cheaper than red but that is just a guess.

I'm having a 67 GT FB built with red deluxe interior.  I thought about adding comfortweave but then found out that wasn't offered from the factory.
I did get a sample from SMS and it seems to be woven and not the pressed repro stuff TMI uses. 
It isn't cheap but like others said you have to have someone custom make the covers OR buy the TMI ones or standard ones and have the correct (or closest to correct) CW installed.
I have a bunch of blue original CW I'll never use if someone wants to buy it.
