Fresh Lime Gold in 2-stage is truly on a different plane compared to old single stage enamel.

Agreed, looks great.

I sure miss ethanol free gas. They don't have it in my area.

Have you checked this site?

Thank You!

I'm a bit late to this thread, but I have a Nightmist blue GT350 that I have owned for 20 years (#2348).  It was originally a red car, but was painted nightmist blue in 1983.  At that time, the owner told me that he couldn't decide whether to paint it red or blue, nightmist blue being his favorite Shelby color.  He said he stood at the paint counter with both paint codes in his hand trying to decide.  He chose blue and never regretted it. 27 years later, I faced the same dilemma. I had the car striped down and could see some of the original red, which was not a real common color for the 1967 Shelbys. Should I go with the more rare red, and probably better color for resale because it was the original color, or keep it nightmist blue, which is my favorite 67 Shelby color, and the reason I originally bought the car. Well, I ultimately decided on blue, and I have never regretted it.  I am not concerned with resale and I have a car that I drive, show, and treasure.       

I'm late to the party here.  Glad you are on your way to a full and healthy recovery Rick!!
  Thanks for updating Ned.

I just bought a group 24 battery from Wal Mart, perfect fit, stickers come of real easy, 5 year warranty

I did the same....

2348 has a Z

where's the loose baffle?

As for the missing rivet, drop the oil pan look in there.

The loose baffle was sitting on top of the rockers. It was small, just made to cover the PVC hole and attached by two rivets.

possible it made it to the oil change drain pan?   Might be wedged in the closest oil drain hole in the head as well

I did check, the oil drain holes are clear all the way down.

Randy,
I thought the oil pickups had screens.

Thanks for all the helpful posts! 

Well, good news and bad news.  The rivet was from the passenger side valve cover.  The baffle had been "manipulated" for clearance as noted in a previous post.  The bad news is that I am missing a second rivet...  According to my records, the last time the valve covers were off was 10 years ago.  So the other rivet could have been "lost" a long time ago.  So now how do I go about chasing it down?  The oil has been changed every 1000-3000 miles (once a year) for the past 10 years, so it may have slipped through in the past. I screened the oil this time looking for it, but have not in the past.  I did check all around and it is not sitting anywhere I can see.  There was no baffle on the drivers side cover, and now there is no baffle on the passenger side...

And Bob, great use of the word "wallerd"...lol

I found this stuck to my magnetic oil pan plug today when changing the oil in my GT350.  289 HIPO with aftermarket cobra oil pan.  Need help in identifying.
Any ideas?
