Thanks guys for all the leads ! Looks like I have a few good options to look into now.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, sorry for the delayed response, I have "notify me of replys" checked but got no Email ? I believe both of the upper A arms and 1 of the lower ones are original.
I thought I had seen a place somewhere that restored A arms with the correct ball joints, rivets etc. but cant remember who.
Thanks Bob for the Choko link, I will contact them about the steering stuff for sure.

Im about to start redoing my front suspension/steering. Is there a best choice (most orig looking) kit for this project ?
Thanks, TP

Yep got it, Thanks Jeff

 Ok guys, black out it is !
Thanks

I'm painting my Highland green KR conv. shortly and I am not sure if it should have the pinch weld blacked out ?
Thanks,  Tom

This is 2295, I believe this is the 13th KR convertible.
 Pictured as I bought it a while back and as it currently looks getting "freshened up"

OK Thanks for the info !

 Hi Bill, Thanks for the pics !


  Rodney ,  Are you sure the number in the lower right corner of the axle tag is a  345 and not a  945 ??

Thanks,  Tom

Yes the heads are there too and the one does have the partial VIN stamped in it. I am only looking to have the engine and axle tags reproduced by Marti. because they were missing.  All the other tags for the car are the original and still in place.

  Well unfortunately the engine is currently at the machine shop so I cant post a pic but I do remember that the block casting date was 8C12
  Im guessing the date would almost have to be an 8D on the tag beings that the car was finished being build on May 1st.  What would the normal time frame be for a 428 from when a block is cast until its assembled and given the ID tag ?
 

   Im looking to see what info you guys think would be correct on an ENGINE ID TAG for my 68 KR conv. # 2295,  it was built a day early on  May 1st and its an automatic.
All the casting dates on the engine parts are between 8C3 and 8C23 and the aluminum carb tag has a date of  8 D B.

Also looking to find what would be on an axle tag for the same car. Carrier casting date is a7M21 and its a 3.50 Traction Lok

Maybe someone within a few cars of 2295 has there orig tags in place yet ?
  Thanks in advance for any help or info !

Im in.....

IN !!

Just noticed 2 small errors on the winners list here, Scotts car in a 1969 tribute not a 70 and just above that on the list the 68 Cougar I believe is a 428 CJ not the 427
