Hi Gentlemens, MCACN 2025 is on the way , and fortunately i'll go there !

This year at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show we will be celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the 1965 Shelby GT350.
Noted Shelby historian Colin Comer has assembled a stellar group of significant 1965 GT350s that will be joining us from across the country. 
Within this Incredible display will be the Ken Miles "Flying R Model" and also the reunion of the only two 1965 GT350 Rally cars, 5S243 and 5S249, that haven't been together since 1965!
Don't miss the celebration!

Hi gentlemen ,it's time to replace the 10 years old AVON on 241, no more available in 2024,i'm going for the Michelin XWX 205/70/15 , and i m going to replace the old 1980's front KONI for a new set of Koni Classic edition with the correct stickers.
my question here is on those koni coming out of the box ,what ride stiffness i can expect , should i tune them few half turns from the standard out of the box set up ?
i like the car the way it is now , and don't want to get a soft ride ,i m thinking to count the turns on the ones that are on the car now until minimum and put the same numbers on the new ones i guess it should be close ? Any feed back from your experience ?
Thank you.

Only for SAAC members .

I would like to let you guys know that Charles took time and energy to make some really top quality tire covers for the 65 GT350 (thank you  ), i bought one years ago to put in 5S241 to keep my original from  further sun-deteriorations, i guarantee you won't be disappointed in spending money on those .
I m not getting anything for doing this advertising , i just want to let know other owners who are looking for the best parts available to replace some "impossible original-parts to find" you can go for those  !
Chris.

First you need to buy the good " double ribbed" oil filter .



Then remove the gasket and tape to make sure nothing goes inside .



i used some chemichal paint remover to get it to metal .



Then sanding and primer .



Fresh black satin paint .


Some light coating of yellow paint on the stamp


and after few times , here you go :


Not perfect , but i think good for division 2 concours . I had hard time to stamp them right , i tried to roll the filter on the stamp blocked on a table , tried to have the filter fixed and stamping by hand , but either way it's complicated to have it straight or even the stamping in full shape , if somebody did it and got a better result please let me know how !
thank's to Charles for the stamps model.
