Hi Charles,
How much of the 3/4" tape do you need? Is it a current need for a project or just trying to get some in stock?

All,
Looking for a 9" rear end Daytona pinion support; P/N C5AW-C. The "ideal" date code would be Sept., Oct., Nov. of 1969 but any correct usable part would be good. Would also purchase a correct rear end 1330 yoke for Shelby/Mustang if available. Thanks for your time.

lawinc,
If you would like to have the clutch and pressure plate you have rebuilt send me a PM with contact information. I can recommend an excellent Vendor that I have used numerous times.

Good Day All,
I have the exhaust manifolds off my car right now and wanted to ask about detailing - should there be engine "blue" overspray on the manifolds in the area where they bolt to the head? Were the manifolds on the engine when the engine was painted?
On some other years, I have seen information/examples of how they should look but do not remember this detail for a 67 GT 500. Thanks for your help.

Hi Pete,
I have sent you a PM about the underdash tilt unit.

The four(4) wheels I believe to be the originals for my 69 Shelby GT 350, #480202, January 13, 1969 build date, have recently been cleaned and inspected for markings and condition. With the tires removed all four have date codes, size and manufacturer's name stamped into the rims. All four of these wheels have the TOBY manufacturer's name. All have 7-L X 15 stamped in for the size. Three(3) wheels have a clear date stamp of 2 - 68, one wheel has a date stamp that looks like 2 - 67 (very clear) but with very close examination I believe to be 12 - 67. Of the four wheels, two are glued-in centers and two have the rivets holding the centers. The stampings are all together in one area on the rim. The format is: top line - Mfg's name, second line - wheel date code, third line - wheel size. Thought this might bring some more information to discussion about the 69 Shelby wheels. I did not buy the car new so cannot say for sure the wheels are original to the car. I bought the car in 1980 in a run-down condition, not appearing to have any updating or restoration work done on it since new. FYI

Good Day sfm5s081,
I have had numerous Holley carbs. rebuilt/reconditioned/restored by Drew P. including two or three Boss 302 original units. If you want high quality work and a good result he is the best option available today.
I have used Holley Carburetor (the company) to do a couple of carburetors for me because they are very close to where I live. In two cases carbs. came back without the original parts I sent. One was an original Boss 302 carb. that they replaced the base plate on that you will never find new or used.

Good Day Michael,
That is a beautiful 68 Shelby GT 500KR. I am curious if this car is original paint since it came from the original owner? The pictures show the paint to look really beautiful but the whole car appears to have been well cared for. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for looking. I believe I have found a set.

Looking for a set of original rear brake drums for an early January 69 Shelby. Need the 10 X 2 drums. My understanding is they could be marked KH or FOMOCO for a January 69 car.
Thanks for the help.
