I will take it. Sent you a PM

I am hopeful, or is this the calm before the storm.

Relax... it's been... handled.

Fantastic! Hope it lasts

Wonderful. Why can't it be like this all the time?

Very entertaining! Were they trying to get that much wrong or just that stupid?

I can't attest to the Flukes IR NCT accuracy as I don't own one. I have several Fluke meters and the are excellent tools. I do have a Raytek Autopro IR NCT that is about 20 years old an it has excellent accuracy. It has dual lasers with a 8"focal point. Just tested its accuracy at 8" vs 8', reads same temp at both distances.

No, no grommet used.

RR Don't recall there being Paxton gauges on this car at the show.

Yes The car did have aux. gauges. I was judging from the drives side so I could see them (2), but I can't recall the brand.

I found the Dupli-color DE1601 ford engine enamel to be a pretty good match. Others may have other suggestions.

'cause he's "gonna fix it up someday".

He had several other cars, some got done some didn't. He lost his corporate job way back, career change. Life got in the way.

Rod H & I looked at this car earlier this year when it was still hanging in the garage of the then owner!

Here is the image posted above as a jpg, maybe easier for some to see...

To add to JD's post, I have known of this car for over 30 years and a few others this owner had also. I had seen it twice before the inspection earlier this year. It had not been moved in close to 40 years.

I have never seen Springs used to hold an Exhaust System together.

Common thing on motorcycles

RIP Dirk. Condolences to his family. Another one of SAAC's good guys gone.

I can't help you with the " black out " on, off or under as no 68 Shelby left the factory with them. The black decals on the back edge of the hoods on 68 Shelby's is to reduce any sun glare from that area so yes even black cars get them. One other note is they change dimensions during the production year, an early version and then second version a little later ( the back edge extends more) .
