something better than nothing? may as well pick up a caution fan sticker. (joking) phred

Kevin's tags are usually very good, I wouldn't consider it much of a compromise.

Charles, If you're unable to locate the one you're looking for, you might want to check with Marti Auto Works, they make reproduction carburetor tags for some models. Denny

Thanks for all the replies.  Went ahead and ordered one from Kevin... something is better than nothing.

There's a 4 rivet reproduction upper control arms made by Rare Parts (or something like that).  They're a good 2nd choice if finding good originals becomes a lengthy endeavor.  The shape on the sides may need some tweaking.  I had an older set that I had to shave quite a bit off of to match to the correct dimensions as an original.  Blasted/tumbled and they came out real nice.  Replaced the ball joints with moog ones and C7 boots.

This one...  these are pics I provided from a car at the MCA national in Va Beach in the late 90's.

Regarding the trunk mat installation on a convertible... I have seen original cars with the mat underneath the divider board, the flat screws going through the board, then the mat and into the body.

That red convertible in the pics above had some work done to it, so I would use the pics with caution.  I always thought it was a nice Unrestored example until studying all the pics closely.

I don't know, but I hardly think that any R model should be considered regular production. I just remember them as natural.

It's the same drive-shaft loop on R & street.

Checked through my pics, the only natural ones I found were repros (no hole on the bottom and wrong shape)

The drum blackout would have typically been done at the Ford assembly plant.
