We also made donations to Samaritan's Purse. Ironically, we are headed to a wedding near Atlanta this weekend, and had reservations to stay at a small hotel in Burnsville, NC for a couple of days next week on the way back for our 25th wedding anniversary. Plans were to go to the Biltmore, but we are really concerned about everyone in that entire area. Prayers for them.

Thanks Bill for that information. Very helpful as we are getting ready to roll out now from Virginia.

You'll have to change plans, both areas are currently unreachable to anyone but emergency response teams and search and rescue.
Atlanta and the general area made out far better than NC/SC, all major roads back open, highways back open, just check later this week to make certain your hotel has power.

Mine built on April 14th does have the bracket.

1961, which is a 4/16/1969 build has the bracket.

I got one of the two that I ordered in Virginia.

Second one arrived yesterday. Thanks go to all involved with the publication.

That's interesting as mine was delivered with the emblems installed. I was on the lot when it came off of the truck and mine was the only one of the 5 that had the Shelby emblem under the snake. April 14th build, May 6th delivery.

Trunk unit. Replacing it solved the problem. We did a work around for the 2 burned pins in the under dash harness.

Ended up being the 53 year old taillight sequencer. Shorted out the 2 pins in the harness so we replaced the sequencer and created a work around for the harness pins and now working like it should.

Thinking now it may be the old original sequencer. Getting power back to the taillights but it's intermittent. I appreciate all the tips. Opened the sequencer box for the first time, and it's looking rather corroded inside.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Guys:

I got a puzzler. Brake lights quit working, so replaced the stoplight switch. This has happened before, so replacing the switch has always solved the problem. Old switch tested good on the bench, but I still replaced it with a new one. It was working fine on Friday, but when I tried it today, no brake lights again. Any suggestions of where else to look? Original/unrestored '69 GT-350.

Thanks.

I have always used a long wooden handle screw driver to remove the springs On mine. I run the shaft of the screw driver through the attaching loop of the spring, holding the handle in one hand and the shaft of the screw driver in the other. Mine have always come off easily using this method. I take them off over the winter, and this has allowed the hood to just relax back into it's normal contour. The car is 53 years old and unrestored, and I've never had any form of serious hood arch doing this.

Will this work?

Adding my best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery from the SAAC guys down here in Virginia.
