Title: 1967 slop grey parts list
Post by: jswoody on June 08, 2019, 09:15:58 AM
I am getting ready to stage painting my 1967 project and recent posts have peaked my interest on which pieces are actually "slop grey"? 

The current list I have is: 
1.  shock tower caps
2.  shock tower export brace
3.  battery tray
4.  spring coil covers

Any help refining the list is greatly appreciated.

I think the other posts related to 1969 Dearborn built cars.

I dont believe 1967 San Jose cars used the slop grey paint to the same extent (if at all)

All plants and years had different painting and assembly procedures

No slop gray on '67 Shelby's, which all the base units were built at Ford's San Jose factory.

+1 .This is a good example to remind all to use care in copying anything/information from another car . Things can be different given a different year or even in the same year but a different time in the production cycle, different model and different plant.It is a GOOD THING that the OP asked the question so we could give the heads up. Many do not and blindly copy.
