Judging details, I am working on to correct

[aboss4tg]

I had my 69 GT350 judged a while ago and a few items were listed as being incorrect.

The front brake calipers need to be blacked out which I understand. My question is, what about the brake shoes that show thru the rim?

Door window handles had spacers which I removed but do I keep the plastic spacer?

I have a set of E 70-15 with the White letters and the report reads they should be black wall. The backside is all black, but the lettering is hollow compared to the white letters. Could I just turn these around?

The report shows I have the wrong fan on the alternator, any help with a picture of the correct fan?

The report shows I am missing the ID tag on intake. Wouldn't that have been left on the original intake when replaced with the aluminum?

The aluminum intake was not "replaced" thats the way it came from FORD

Flipping the tires probably wont work, its actually a different style

Regarding the alternator fan, do you have AC?

[aboss4tg]

I know most of you have more detailed information than I do but if the aluminum intake was installed at Ford, why would the thermostat housing be painted? Do not want to create a back and forth or question your knowledge, just seems like a lot of work.

My car has A/c.

Appreciate your replies and look forward to your help.

Its a good question, perhaps I should rethink my answer

Mr Gaines will help us soon

Back and forth is fine, its how we learn things

[Coralsnake]

I would like to change my answer. I think you are correct the intake was changed.

The bolts and thermostat housing are blue.

Is the tag on the intake or the block?

Also its very possible they transferred it over to keep the information with the engine.

Good catch

Heres the tires. I think thats based on date of manufacture and suspension type

Engine aluminum ID tag was attached with the coil so intake really has nothing to do with that feature.

Haven't seen any effort by workers on the line to black out the front shoes.

Like above here is an earlier conversation

We likely have more pictures of original examples since that all was posted but it provides some of the details your asking about

The calipers were blacked out because they were bare cast iron which quickly flashes rust and is not cosmetically desirable when rust is seen through the spokes . The disc brake pads on the other hand did not have the same tendency. I suspect some paint (think driveway seal coat) sometimes got on a portion of the pads during the black out process but it was not something that was directed to be done. If you had stereo door speakers you would have the chrome spacer if no speaker no spacer. The  E701X5 white letter tire are speedway type which is different then the blackwall used on later 68 KR and early 69 Shelby's.Turning the tires is just as incorrect. Here is a link to Dead Nuts On who sell the correct fan blade.  https://www.deadnutson.com/13-blade-alternator-cooling-fan-late-1966-thru-11-17-69/   You probably have the later 70's blade which is a common mistake. I don't typically find a metal tag on the 69 GT350 engine probably because stickers were used in 69 on the base painted valve covers which in the case of the Shelby were replaced with the Cobra intake . No effort was made to replace the engine sticker. The thermostat housing was reused and was Ford blue.

The face and top area of caliper was black brushed on and tag was on front of engine and different place if factory ac.
