This is what I am up against. When I purchased this in 91 you can see PO painted car red. When I had it repainted the inside of the decklid texture was sanded smooth and so were the inner side of the end caps. Anyone ever find a way to recreate the texture for
1) inner flat surface of the decklid
2) texture/grain on the end caps

Pete

Fastback thank you

Was the texture from the taillight panel replicated on the end caps as well or were the just painted semi gloss black to match? June 69 build

I have seen 2 69 Gt 500's this weekend and have a question in regards to markings on the upper shock mount (see attached) there is a blue dot on the outer side of the mount, is that correct for big suspension vehicle?

Pete

Tha ks everyone new bearings and sleeves ordered.

Pete

I would consider it but I can't find the axle sleeves anywhere to reinstall.

Pete

Do you have the name of the agricultural grade molasses / what is your mixture ratio?

Pete

Has anyone had any luck soaking the entire4 axle in Evaporust bearings and all? The face of the axle and the axle itself are pretty rusty from sitting but didn't know if the Evaporust would hurt or damage the axle bearing?

Pete

3 the washers always cup inward unlike some aftermarket.

Ed, is the zinc sleeve suppose to go through the front washer, the pair I have dont do that?

Pete

Need some help, purchased the strut rod bushing kit from Dead nuts (pic #1) the zinc insert does not fit through the front washer (pic 2) what is the correct orientation pic 2 or pic 3. According to Osborn chassis manual it is supposed to insert through the washer. Don't know if that applies to Shelbys big suspension or not?

Pete

Thanks guys appreciate the help. I found the actual number in the "69-70 Shelby unique parts catalog" keep forgetting about that book. And here I didn't think you or Ed were a day over 40 lol.

Looked in search, I am looking to see if anyone has any info on the screw for the ground for the trunk lamp.

Also is it the same acrew for the lamp on the decklid.

AMK lists one for 1969 but doesn't say it is for a Shelby

Pete

Thank you, just sent an email to him.

Pete

Any idea what is the best one to use or from where until I find an original one? I have seen them listed from 170 to 550 on ebay.

Pete

Thanks Jeff, appreciate your help, off to try and find the correct one.
