Left hinge 6 11 2D
Right hinge 6 18 2D
Trunk lid 6 23 2D
Thanks for the info

My trunk hinges match those exactly
Drivers 6 11 2D
Passenger  6 18 2D
My trunk lid isn't clear has too much paint in it. It looks to be  7 28  2C but I will have to use some paint stripper or thinner to check. Now that I know that both styles were used I'm more comfortable mine is original.
Thanks

I have carryover 236. My trunk lid has the round cutouts in the reinforcement. I know that the 65 lids had the large rectangular cutouts. However in looking through pics on the carryover site. I see both lid styles on cars. My car has original undamaged quarters and tail light panel and the trunk looks original, but any thing is possible.  Is either style correct or since they were 65 bodies should it be rectangular 65 style?

This thread is about 5s482, not 6s482. Are you sure which car you are referring to.

Are those Virginia license plates?

I have a Nussbaum. German company, us factory in North Carolina. The towers are one piece all the way up. My ceiling is just under 12 ft. Had to pay slightly more to have it made 6 inches shorter from their standard height.

Thanks Bob, thanks Jim
Will do some test fitting with some original covers this weekend
Those drake ones may fit the bill

I have a friend  rebuilding his k code motor for his coupe. He wants to use roller tip rockers or full rollers. The original chrome covers won't work as I understand and I dont believe the aluminum covers will either without modification. He likes the look of the hollow letter cobra covers. What are the options and solutions? Thick gaskets? aluminum spacer? Is there a way to make the hollow letter covers work?

That should make it 20.5 to 21 inches wide
Is this what ford considers heavy duty cooling

Does any one know the width of a 4 speed 350 radiator? Did they use the bolt on side baffles to fill the gap iin the radiator support opening?

Most ecote these days is black occasionally some gray shows up on European car parts. The green color you may have seen is probably etching primer

I had a full set where instead of daubs  the Inside Edge of the rim was sprayed white all the way around about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide

Had this saved from the old forum
Here is a chart someone had of the ratios for t10's in a mustang / shelby

It looks like a straight line going all the way across almost as if they put masking tape on there to protect against it and that is what is damaged

He's from Texas. The auction is at a college in Texas,  and they don't know how to spell Carroll on the flyer. Must be a different Carol Shelby
