 Putting the finishing touches on the engine for my KR. What would be the correct style bolts for the valve covers? Tried to look at original pictures, but its much easier to just ask the experts. lol.
  Thanks guys, Pete.

 No Marti report, but that early build date suggests a bag instead of the bottle according to Texas Swede. Thanks for the input guys!

 Build date on the door tag is 03A. I don't see any holes in the apron. Looks like it may have been replaced.

Quick question. Working on a '67 GT 500. Washer bottle, hoses and nozzles are missing. Before I order parts, should it have a plastic washer bottle or a bag?
     Thanks, Pete.

Anybody know if this car is still around, or current history? I can't find my registry anywhere.  >:(

 On a 1967-8 fastback, can someone tell me which way the upper corner rear window moldings go? One of mine is pretty beat up and I want to replace it but I cant remember which is the left or right. I know, I should have labeled them when I took it apart. Does the long side go across the top, or does it go from top to bottom.
 Sometimes I am such a doofus. Thanks for any help.

 Was just browsing facebook market place. Someone posted the original owners manual for a 1968 Shelby. 8T02R-210268-03652. Car was sold new at Rankin Ford in London. Poster is located in Norfolk, Ontario Canada. They are asking $150.
Just thought someone might be interested.

Cannot remember if I posted this before or not.
KR 04052.Raven black/black. A/C 4-speed.
The day I brought it home. Not quite finished, but very close.

  I have a chance to buy a set of 15"x6" steel wheels off of a 1966 Meteor. They are in decent shape according to the seller, and very reasonably priced.
 I'm looking for a set for my KR. At this point not concerned with correct date codes and markings, I just want something to get me rolling for now.
 Will these work?
              Thanks,  Pete.

 Just trying to save myself a few bucks. Aftermarket gearsets range from $300-400. Used set I can get for next to nothing. I can pick through multiple sets and look for a decent wear pattern. Sorry, I'm just a cheap a$$. lol
  This is also for a car that is going to see limited driving, so a little noise won't bother me.
