1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / The rod end markings
April 18, 2026, 05:20:29 PM
A friend of mine restoring a 69 GT350 sent me pics of what he believes are his original tie rods. Early Jan 8 build. Yellow and green markings on tie rods. Were these marked in 69? I know in 1970 but many years ago was told not done in 69. What is the consensus? Thanks

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 Midland booster
April 03, 2026, 11:10:08 PM
So I have  a new " remanufactured" Midland booster. In the pic my original is next to it. They both have the tags on them. The new one the nut and bolt on the band is backwards to my original. Also the new one is stamped FoMoCo on the top. The new reman looks like it was never on a car as it is perfect with no " bolt mark" on the one hole. Anyone know the story on the fomoco stamp? Thanks Tim on the tip on taking my tag  off before sending my original booster out.

Concours Talk / 15x5.5 11-66 wheels
January 10, 2026, 04:06:53 PM
So I got a bunch of steelies and going through them today I found some observations on my 15x6 wheels as far as offsets go. When I bought my 68 that was sitting since 1973 it had SNOW tires on the back. After getting the tires off of them and having a blaster blast them(a friend did all this for me) I found those 2 with snow tires to be 11-66 KH wheels. 15x5.5. Can someone tell me the applications these wheels were used on? My other 15x6 non Shelby wheels are 1969, 1970 and 1971 with the center hole being larger and about a 1/4" negative offset compared to my 68 Shelby wheels. Thanks. Gary

Concours Talk / red dyes used on fasteners.
January 10, 2026, 01:38:36 PM
I've seen discussions before but not sure if here or other places but a search here doesn't come up with answers. I got the "see through" red Dykem lay out die. Now its been discussed about the opaque red die like I see on so many fasteners that AMK sells. So  is the first pic the die layout ink? Then the next 3 pics an opaque stain? I thought I read where the opaque was used on  certain finishes because of the plating?  The link is to a Dykem opaque staining color. Thanks in advance. Gary

January 11, 2025, 04:26:01 PM
It was mentioned a while ago about what window seals were the best reproduction out there and  Virdinia classic Mustang just got some some rear window seals in stock IIRC. So what are the best out there right now that have no issues when it comes to stainless trim install? Thanks.
