hi all - greetings from Jakob & #1739 GT500

I have the original 10 spoke rims on the car, and they need a surface restoration (looking tired).
I will appreciate any guidance how to bring them back to the original finish.

Also, any advise of which tires I should order?
The correct Goodyear letters for my car is with small font.

Many thanks in advance

Best regards
Jakob

Jakob, is there a fan shroud installed on the radiator?

Hi there - yes

Thank you VERY much for all your kind/professional guidance - greatly appreciated.
We will work through the proposed options, and I will keep you posted on the development.
Best regards
Jakob

Hi Shelby'ers

Greetings from Greece - from Jakob & #1738
We have presently around 90 F.
My car is running hot, particularly in traffic.
when switching it off, the coolant is overflowing, and the car continue to self-ignite for 10-20 seconds.
I have the original radiator, original fan blade C6FOF-E and fan clutch https://gmb.net/product/930-2300/
We locked the fan clutch, and there was a small improvement but not enough.

I consider to order the https://usradiator.com/cores optima flow 4 rows. The car is manual.
I will very much appreciate any guidance you can give me, if I am on the right path.
There may also be a fan blade better suited (although this is the original)

Next step is to pull the heads and check if engine block and heads are aligned.
Engine is restored and has standard bore.

Many thanks for kind assistance
Best regards
Jakob

Hi - good morning

I have pull my 67gt500 engine out to change crankshaft bearings.

We did a compression test to see if any work was required further up.
The result attached, between 175 and 210.
Does this look ok or is work required?

Any input is much appreciated.

Jakob

Good day all

Greetings from sunny Greece from #1739 GT500

The car is fully restored - BUT with sub-standard side mirrors and gas cap.
Can any of you guide me where to buy "best option replica" or NOS?

Also, the car has FALKEN tires with Goodyear stickers, I will also appreciate if you can guide me where to buy a proper set (tires was born with small letters)

Many thanks a bunch in advance

Best regards
Jakob

A few things were missing when I bought #1739 67 GT500 as a project - unfortunatelt the gas cap

Hi all #1739 here

1000 thanks/ best Jakob

Good day all...

You have been very helpful in guiding me in the right direction, as to why my car was smelling/stinking of gasoline.
I figured out that the vacuum lines were not connected (thanks Freddy), and presume it is a large part of the problem.

The carburetors are Cobranda replica's, and I have the original ones, which will got for a full overhaul.

In the photo "fuel adjustment", its obvious that the tube is not connected (not there), and the connectors are plugged with rubber ends.
In photo "side rear" and "side front", there are the same connectors, also plugged. Can anybody guide if they have to be connected together or somewhere else?
In the photo "net" is a random photo I found online, where a tube is connected.

Finally, does anybody know if there is a manual online (or tread) how to adjust the carburetors. I have searched a lot, but havent found anything.  I understand it has to be done under the 4 screws, photo "fuel adjustment" (again thanks Freddy) :-)

I live in Greece, and we have 1 x 65 GT350 and 2 x 67 GT500, so you can imagine the difficulties in finding specialists ;-)

Again, all assistance is really appreciated.

Best regards
Jakob

Thank you very much for all your valuable input.

By guidance, I figured out that the vacuum hoses were not connected.
I will ask for some assistance in a new thread.
Again - 1000 thanks
Best regards

Hi Shelby'ers
#1739 GT500 1967 here.
I have a beautiful fully restored car.
I bought two new carburetors from our friend Freddy
I live anyhow in a large apartment block, and the entire garage is smelling badly of gasoline when I fire it up.
Although not original, does anybody have experience with an EFI system, and do I need 1 or 2?
If 1, do I have to change manifold, or can I blind one of the intakes?
All input much appeeciated ✨️👌

Many thanks guys, much appreciated
