Much thanks Bob and Jeff.

Is there a source for the interior hanger for the exhaust ? Looks like in the top picture just a cut up piece (s) of a regular dual exhaust car ?

Dave

Thanks Jeff,

Are the holes "correct" to be there to hold the exhaust? In the top picture the exhaust is indeed hanging from holes in a similar spot, 

Or should we repair the holes and hang the exhaust near the pinch weld area like I've seen on other cars?

Dave

I read on vintage mustang forums that the drive shaft loop attached to the seat belt bolts ( first picture of a 65 I used to own - mid 300 sn) ;  second picture shows same area with holes where mine was attached on the car we are putting back together # 296.,,

Which is correct ?

Thanks in advance ( hope this wasn't a question I should have asked a long time ago !)

Dave

thanks again Bob and Jeff for the information -

Forum experts -

Were there any markings on the freeze plugs ?  Was the material brass or steel?


thanks again in advance for your help and knowledge !

Dave

Thanks Bob -

Please let me know if you can turn any up as I'd like to buy them if possible...

All - what is the "correct" color and material of the intake gasket on the heads?   I know the front and back are cork.
and - what is the best source for the intake gaskets?

thank you -

dave

Thank you Bob-  appreciate your help !

Dave

For the brake proportioning valve- the body is painted black correct ? Are the threads and end cap also painted black ?

Thanks,
Dave

Thank you Bob -

All-

I just heard that Jim Cowles passed away this morning.  As you all know, Jim made a life of all things Shelby - he openly shared with all of us his vast knowledge and expertise.  It is a sad day indeed. He was a good friend. And will be missed by many.
Please pray for Jim's family, loved ones and all who knew hi in this time of grief.

Since trunk mats seem to be trending up- mine has a stamp, 9586-
Does any know of the significance of that ?

Dave

Thank you Jeff and Bob, and thanks for the picture!

Dave

Should the engine to bell housing block off plate for a 65 have black paint (engine color) or be a natural steel finish ?

That is the best garage art I've seen !
