thank U---however my issue is with actual black color , are they semi or satin and are they painted or dipped

Hi---have checked all the articles and no luck on color for 1969 Shelby gt 500 June production [front springs]--thank U

Thank ED----Like it or not ED U are icon and when I read yours and some other guys blogs it is impossible to look at you guys within being concern that all that knowledge might one day just vanish, and that why I think we should all pool resources and make sure that your knowledge is available for generations to come----I worked in industry where people would work for free just to have chance , however employers are paying us insane amount not for work we do but for what we know, and I will stand behind conviction that physical work restoring and maintaining the car is something it could be learned ,bot knowledge that U have it is impossible to put price on it---thank for your support 

I can not help but to agree with SCHATMAN---realistically immense knowledge in hands with very small number will eventually disappear as does individuals get older and being unable to advise new generation in corretnes and compliance to assembly line practices. At that point new buyers will slowly abandoned idea of having cars that meet assembly line specs because it will be next to impossible to argue fact what is correct and everybody will star making  its own rules.                                                               Personally I have had offer previously to some degree help finance compiling and publishing such criteria ,but unfortunately that there was not a single entity willing to discus . I look at my own children they love 60's muscle cars , but no way they would be willing to spent countless hours determining originality unless they would have reference material--however this is only my opinion , and I know I will get ton of PM all in the same context "HOW DARE U" b---back to football game

Thank U

thank U for advice---My car is as original as possible, alot of thanks goes to forum members generosity and willingness to share there knowledge and experience---my objection is to keep it in original and correct state as long as it is viable , however as U probably experience as well as me at times there are almost insurmountable hurdles , frankly if it was not for members I would give up long time ago---Thanks & Happy New Year 

Hi--is there visible substantial difference between original and reproduction instrument bezels and rh clock bezel for 69 SHELBY-Thank U

HI-MR. COBRA---I would like explanation on what is happening with BIDDING up on coil---same bidder I desperately hope is not U was bidding up everytime I raised the bid---KEY is that is always same guy, and after it reached certain target price he cancel the bid---That is ethically very questionable and suspicious behavior 

thank U

Hi---looking  @1969 Shelby owners manual and it list 1957 A as replacement bulbs for tail light, however same bulbs appear to be amber, is this correct or are they just 1957 [without A] which would be clear---thank you for verification
