If the owner of car #2876 is on here, please pm me.

Be sure to clock the hood pin plate properly before drilling the rivet holes.

Please explain.

And by making sure you use a thermostat with a air bleed hole and orientate it towards the top once installed (just works a little better that way.

From Pete's site:

Missed a good one that sold for the list!

https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0121-456933/1969-shelby-gt500-convertible/

What did it sell for?

$184,250 per the Mecum listing.

This is what he sent me:

"Unfortunately, in the last few months, I have had 5 different items that
people said they "wanted: to bu, that were from out of town or out of
Missouri. So 5 different times I boxed up the different items using of a
fair amount of my good Scotch heavy duty sealing tape on the boxes. Each
trip to the post office was right at 20 miles round trip, find a parking
space, go stand in a long line in the post office, a couple of those
waits were over 30 minutes each, Get the cost of shipping the item,
drive back home, send the "buyers" a message with the cost to ship the
item, and ...... NOTHING. Not a single response back from a single one
of the tire-kicker bastards. But I'm out over 100 miles of driving time
for those five trips to the post office, the wasted gasoline, all the
time waiting in line at the post office, and the time to box up the
items. It is sad that Craigslist and Facebook are becoming more and more
like Ebay (FLEAbay), lots of derelicts with nothing better to do than
waste people's time and money.  I will only sell in person, can't afford
to keep dealing with the deadbeats and non buyer's."

Here is a pic from Pete's site:

I believe the holes you are referring to are where the 3 splash shield pins go.

Why can I not keep myself from repeatedly smelling my new registry?

You should take your waterless  wash/rinse kit to the barn finds section and act like you're going to wash them all...

What size radials are people running on their 15" Cragar 5 spokes?  I put some 205/70-15 tires on my car, trying to approximate the size/diameter of the blue dots, but they are too tall for my taste.

Can someone post a photo of the "screws" that hold that bracket on the dash?  Thanks

I removed the tach and dash pad on my car, and there are only the one set of screw holes drilled, which I assume are the originals.  The back of my tach hits against the windshield, but I don't want to bend the bracket.  Does anyone else have this problem?

Was tachometer placement pretty consistent among all 1966 cars?  Was there a template they used to drill the holes, or did someone just drill where they thought the tach should go?  It would be nice if several people could provide measurements of the distance from the left edge of the speaker grille to each of the tach screws, and the distance from the front edge of the speaker grille to each of the tach screws.
