Just delivered my original radiator for re-core at a local shop.  Is there anything available in a spray can that replicates OE finish?  I've used Eastwood radiator black in the past and a difficult time getting it to adhere.  Also looking for a correct petcock source

Thanks

Hi All,

I have 2 original brake duct outlets for trade.  One is missing some pieces and the other is intact with a slight crack (easy fix).  I would like to trade both for an original inlet.  I have attached pictures of the 2 I'm offering and for reference a picture of what I need.

Thanks

I'm preparing to install the rear quarter window frames I just recently got back from Shelby Parts.  They are fully assembled and ready to be riveted in place. I'm looking for details on sealer type and area of application around the aluminum frames.  How far to the outside of the frame is the sealer visible if at all? Any pointers on process of installing would also be helpful. 

Where can I source a correct Hood Pin Kit?

Hi All -

Thanks

I've restored and installed the traction master under ride bars on 1816.  The original tubes both had a slight bend that were straightened out.  My concern is will they just bend again once I start driving the car?  Are the newer tubes with the correct end marking sold by traction Master made with thicker wall tubing or will they bend up just as easily?  I don't plan on changing any of the original mounting brackets just the tubes.  With the reasonable price for the complete set and accurate tube markings I was thinking may be a good choice.  Any advise or opinion appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm coming to the final stages of completing 6S1816.  I would like to see a properly restored 66 that has been judged and received a Bronze or higher.  If there are any unrestored original cars within my area having an opportunity to view one would be terrific.  If  you're willing to allow me to see your car and take pictures I would greatly appreciate the opportunity. 

Thank you
Shawn

Hi All,

Can someone point me to a quality torque converter available?  I am looking to purchase a new one for my 66.  Car will be street driven only and has a stock rebuild of the engine.

Thanks

Hi All,

I am looking for a set of 1966 rear interior panels in good shape.  Looking for a set with no gouges, cracks or broken pieces.  For reference see picture of what I'm looking for.  reply or PM if you have a set willing to sell

Are the intake manifold bolts painted or natural finish?

Thanks
Shawn

Are the bypass hose and clamps supposed to be painted or natural?

What gasket manufacture would be the best choice for style and color match of OE.  All gaskets under intake that are visible.

Thanks

Remember this movie?  The car was always cool (except for the 1 tire burnout).  I noticed Tuck was strapped into the pod with Ray Browns

What is the criteria for the water pump on a 66 Shelby?  Other than the casting number and correct paint what would determine an accurate part?  I have a few with casting and hub differences.  If the only thing being judged is paint and casting number would either be correct with no point deductions?

I have pictures in the 1966 Shelby section under "Water Pump"

Thank you -

Shawn

Hi all,

I'm looking for images of correctly finished 1966 Shelby Cobra intake, valve covers, oil pan and distributor.  Valve covers are the closed letter type natural finish.  Car was finished May 1966

Here is a picture of original rear view mirror from 66 Hertz.  Is it true they were painted this color for easy spotting in Shelby's lot prior to shipping?  Is this red paint rear view correct for a 66 Hertz?

I have a few C6OE-A  hipo waterpumps and all have minor differences.  Can someone post a detailed picture of what should be on a 66?

Thanks
Shawn

I know this has maybe been posted before.  Here is an original SAAC "License to Speed" card.  Really Cool!

Picture taken at SAAC II 1977 in Hershey PA.  Looks like an all black no stripe car.  Does the inboards look to have the early setup?
