  I have my Shelby at Orlando Mustang for a complete restoration and we are getting to the final details. A question came up on the correct style shocks and I have some originals but they are tired. Orlando Mustang has a set of front and rear shock made by a Company in the 90"s called Blackjack Restorations. They have most of the correct contour to the shock and also has the Autolite stamping and C7ZF part numbers. They look really nice and new in appearance. I'm aware of the C7 part number is to early but the style is very close.
  I can restore the originals and install for shows but could these be an option for a Concours Trailered 69 Shelby? 

Appreciate your help.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I need information on the following finishes,

air cleaner stud
throttle cable bracket mounted to back side of carburetor

Appreciate the responses on my past questions concerning my 69 GT 350

Another question, What finish is the carburetor kick down lever?  Mine is weathered with a Natural metal finish and looks like the top half was painted Black with a distinct paint line. Were these Natural or another finish?

I'm sure this has been brought up before. Two questions, are the four outer screens gloss Black and is the center scoop inner section painted Black or left Natural?

Dropped a new tank in this weekend after the exhaust and rear valance and getting closer to finishing the rear of the car. What fuel sending unit is correct as I have a few C8ZF 9275 A originals and not sure which if any are correct. Prefer an original part if possible.

Todd

That is what I thought, appreciate your help.

  Installing the rear valance and exhaust on my car and wondering if the license plate plastic inserts and screws were still installed since the plate area is cut out for the center exhaust port? See no need for them and not sure what is correct.

Starting to detail exterior parts and the original letters are a little crooked, the letter E is turned upward and the letter Y is higher than the rest.
Question, do you leave alone as there were set up or try and straighten them? One issue I see is the mounting holes are already drilled and if I move them it may show the hole.

Appreciate your responses.

With the front brake pads installed you see the metal backing of the pads showing the Gold finish. Are these painted to hide the finish?

Another detail question. 

On the front disc brake pads, are they natural color/finish or the metal body painted similar to the rear brake drums with the Black paint applied so not able to see thru the rims.

Question

  I have a set of rear drums on my 69 that show two embossed lines on the outer edge and another set that has one embossed line. Any suggestions if any of these are correct? Or can some one add a photo of the correct drums?

Todd

Hope these help

Automatic handle.

Hello Todd.

I know it has been a while since you listed the question but curious if you sold either of the jacks?  I am looking for an original jack for the '68 and would be interested.

Thanks,  Greg P.

FYI a original 68 Shelby jack would have a 13/16 drive not a 3/4.

Greg

I still have one available if interested.

I have two scissor jacks with the 3/4 adjusting screw and date codes are 8C and 8L. Understand some 67 Shelby's were unique with the 3/4 screw but these are 68 date codes. I looked at Anghel Restorations site and these are the second generation style and measure the same.
Any help identifying would be appreciated. Going to Charlotte this week for the Auto Fair and will bring these to sell. Would like to list correctly and not sell the wrong piece.
