If you have a 20" radiator, you have to use the 24" radiator along with the 24" radiator upper & lower mounts. I have this same setup. It works great!

rwcstang 201 Report post Posted December 9, 2021 replaced my floor pan/inner torque box and toe board. man its easier said in done... now researching how im going to insulate the interior with out using "dynamat" or using a liner. 1 TexasEd reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHELBY69 61 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 Got the new seats in you can see the NARDI steering wheel there too. They work much better w the race harness that is mounted on the stock roll bar. Reupholstering them in white w the Cobra & blue stitching took MONTHS, IDK why. they are comfy too. Next issue is getting her to stop wandering in the highway. After I fix that I can add MORE POWER!!!!!! 2 JayEstes and toranav8ss reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 Question, on your console in the picture above, behind the seat belt holder... what are the two knobs/joysticks? I've seen them before on Shelby's but never identified them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember spending the better part of 3 days stripping the dealer installed undercoating from my fuel tank, only to discover the tank had pinholes in it from rust and I had to replace it anyway.

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted June 12, 2022 I just commented on your post in the "what did you do" thread. Am I correct that 65D decodes to deluxe interior with bench seat?

Yeah exactly as you said. although the interior is pretty bad, but this car was factory winter blue over the 9B Blue interior. I'll take some pictures once I clean it out. The car has sat outside for a long time and the interior is just covered in leaves and dirt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
