1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Sill Plate emblem changes??
February 01, 2018, 03:52:39 PM
QuoteJust to be clear the Snake one line version is the last used of the three styles used in 67.

Any idea of  the date or Shelby number when this changeover occurred? I understand this may be a fuzzy number/date -- just like other things at SA in 67.

I was able to go through the process and post the photo but the size of the photo is way to big (Probably 3 times what it should be). How can I get an image that isn't so large.

Leave the picture alone.
After you paste YOUR PICTURE'S BBCode, an example of which is noted here:
[img]http://www.saacforum.com/gallery/411-220118161012.bmp[/img]

Edit the code to add the "width=xxx" parameter. You don't have to use 500, as you can specify any number, but it works well for most pictures and user screens:
[img width=500]http://www.saacforum.com/gallery/411-220118161012.bmp[/img]

See this post to view the results of using this method:

Note how the pics stack nicely on top of each other and how a click makes the pictures larger.

Note that this is only one way of many to post pictures . . .

One thread for all topics of a specific nature or item.

We don't need 20 or 30 threads all asking about yellow top coils, their markings, and so on.
If the thread detail is specific to certain years (carbs or intakes, for instance) then there would be one thread for each year.

New threads on the same topic should be merged into existing threads.

I'd rather wade through 20 pages of one thread than 20 different threads with duplicate data regurgitated ... again and again and again.

Something like that take dedication from the Mods. Policing every post and moving or merging is time consuming. Any volunteers, Bossbill? You up to it?

I will gladly help out given the chance, count me in.

I know Jeff and Charles(+ others??) do a great job on CMF.

This is a two part task. The users have to be made aware of the policy and know that it will be enforced. As well, a thread (or series of threads, one for each major model) needs to be created where users can advise the mods of duplicate threads and offer up suggestions as to placement.
"Will the mods please combine threads 'Coil colors' (postid xxxxx) with 'What spray paint can I use to paint my coil?' (post xxxx1)?"

On the enforcement end, I'm good with helping out. One shouldn't complain unless one wishes to be part of the solution.

Today, being done to MCA concours.

Many years ago:

The car was complete and in good shape when the restoration started.
"Bossbill", Great old photos and the car was in amazing condition, those wheels are great too! (I flopped two of your images so they read correctly - hope that's OK)

Thanks, JD.
I realized the flop after I posted, but then had to call my painter after I saw the side view pic. A previous owner put on the fender snake emblems ILO of the square badges and I had forgotten to weld up the additional holes in the front fender!
I originally thought the wheels were cool but they are 14's.
They currently reside on my son's GTA Mustang.
