Not sure if it helps, but Scott drake provides a rattle can of that color.

Agreed Don, thanks.  And thanks to the other member who messaged me a potential contact.

Hello fellow members.  My apology this isn't a Shelby / Mustang related question but thought someone in the Carolina region might have some advice.  A friend of mine inherited her father's 46 Ford Deluxe Sedan.  I said I would reach out to some of my contacts to see if I can help her sell the car.  I will be compiling some details.  It appears solid but a mechanical project since it hasn't run since 2013.  If anyone has any interest or advice on where we might focus that would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I hadn't thought of doing that.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Exactly  .  Thanks for the well wishes.

Hello Upper MidWest club members.  I am in NC but I have a Bronco that was originally sold thru Schmerler Ford (Elk Grove, IL).  It's pretty much stock, still has the dealer decal on the back.  I am looking for a license plate frame from that dealership.  It's no longer in business but thought maybe someone on the forum might have a lead on one for sale.  Thanks!  Greg P.

I know it has been a long time since you listed these but curious if you still had the 67 Jack?

And C4 auto transmission.

Yes it is no AC. My apologies I should have been clear.

I just completed a rebuild early this year and recorded all of the part numbers for the misc parts. I have owned the car over 40 years and know the history and owner before me. These are original for a J-code with a Nov 1967 build date.  WP C8AE-8A528-F.  CP C80E-6312-G.  Hope this helps.

No problem.  Thanks for letting me know.

Hello Reuben.  I have some interest in the jack.  If it is still available can you email me the price you are interested in to my email address: greg.patterson@porticos.net.  Thanks.  Greg P.

Hello Todd.  Sorry for the delayed response.  I ended up having to travel out of the country so didn't have a chance to touch base.  I checked and I need the 13/16 version so unfortunately I don't think this one will work for my situation.  But if I change my mind I will let you know.  Likewise, if you find a '68 w/ 13/16 drive please let me know.  My email is greg.patterson@porticos.net.  Thank you.  Greg P.

Hello Todd.

I know it has been a while since you listed the question but curious if you sold either of the jacks?  I am looking for an original jack for the '68 and would be interested.

Thanks,  Greg P.

I wanted to send a quick shout out to the forum.  I have finished the rebuild and install of my original 302 4V J-Code engine just like it was originally (I guess it was a good thing I kept all of the original parts for the last 43 years after all :-) ).  During the process I did a lot of research on the similarities between the J-Code and the GT350 and asked a lot of questions.  You guys were great at helping and answering my questions.  Special nod to Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels for setting up and providing the Paxton Supercharger correct for the period.  And to Dave Hunt @ Hunt's Machine in Albany NY (who did the short block and engine machining) and the guys at Cylinder Head Specialties here in NC (who restored my original heads).  I've attached a picture of the engine installed and one with the '68 next to my wife's '07 GT/CS.  I think it's time for a Shelby project this time! :-)
