Appears to be a single exhaust--performance?

The rivets are soft aluminum, so just barely distort the rivet from the rear (inside the door cavity) and push out.

I'm going to say that there is variation on this particular detail.  I have run into off-white or beige daubs on the rim tire surface (read hidden by the mounted tire).  Those were superb condition original dry climate wheels.  That daub is likely either an inspection mark or a quick visual identification mark, either of which could have random placement by various workers. 

Not challenging the daub being on the backside near the weight area (I have seen that also), just offering other observations.

I have used ZEP   paint stripper (zep off) in aerosol.  Sprayed harness  and let sit for few minutes then hung up in my was bay and used pressure washer to wash off  keeping distance not getting too close to damaged woven material  and had some success.

Chris, I sent you a PM.  Don

Above the mounting hole, at the very top, the bracket tabs curl over 90 degrees.  A non-air bracket does not.

Look at the top of the mounting bracket of the RH horn in the picture.  That is an AC horn.

Rick's knowledge and personality leave a large void.  Truly had Ford Blue runnng through his veins.

Black has been available in a reproduction for some time.  Black used in 65-66 I know of; don't know others.  It is longer also. 
The Metuchen built '68 Shelby protector is not black.  Different years and different plants varied.  Good luck.

Sit, Chris.

A line is forming.

I pledge to be a much nicer Coralsnake. Let's see how long I can make it....LOL

Anyone find or do anything cool in the last two weeks?

I found these for only $300 !

Right above the mantel, Pete; and illuminated, too! 

Here is a pic showing the length of two original Shelby/Metuchen protectors.

Happy to be back; onward!
