Are you talking about the washers welded to the shock mount itself? If I remember they were part of the Ford export package - brace, stiffener on cowl and shock mounts.

No the washers as described has four holes in each and a "notch" to help with adjusting the shock. In the picture this "notch" is indicated by the red line. These "washers" are attached to the top section of the shock. Top end of the moving shaft

Colors differ period when they were produced

This details is shared by original FRONT ONLY shocks. Did see one confused owner once make and install them on the rear ones also  ::)



Hope this helps

Can anyone offer some more information on these extraordinarily beautiful wheels:



I could hardly believe my eyes!
Has someone actually had CNC machined billet aluminum wheels made that look like 1967 Shelby hubcaps??

OUTSTANDING if so!!!

Thanks,

I saw them as well.  Has to do a double-take because I thought my eyes were deceiving me.  Very interesting to say the least.

They look like they are a larger diameter than 15", tire sidewalls are not tall ... maybe 17"?

Just a couple of photos from SAAC 46. One from the Friday night social, one from the Sunday Car show. Thanks to Jay Talbott, Ron Richards and the rest of the SAAC team for great event.
How many vintage cars showed up approximately. Car show had 30 cars?

Can anyone verify this? Car show only had 30 cars?
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

The overhead photos shared with me show at least 70+ cars (and they appear to be in the early morning)

I took the overhead picture just before the parade laps started. There were 70+ cars at the car show - several had left the show field for the parade laps by the time I snapped the photo. There were also a ton of cars in the paddock and garages that didn't park in the car show.

I should have been more specific, how many VINTAGE cars, there seems to be many non vintage cars present in the show picture. Thanks for the reply.

Looks nice I was afraid the number 30 was accurate. Seems like less and less are the cars are being shown.
I see some really nice cars in the pics
Thanks to all for posting them
