    The SN65 project car

    Hi Reen, Sad, but true, The original moldings are no more. I am not sure, but it appeared that the original owner epoxied the moldings to the car in an attempt to solve some leaking issues. It was an interesting approch to an old problem. We did get the moldings off the car, but there was...

    Hi Brian, In my opinion, installing the glass and windows is not really a problem. Installing the window trim is the real issue. I think that a lot of your issues will be solved if you pick up a separate trim clip kit and toss any clips that come with the repro front and rear window moldings.

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Hi Reen, Glad to see you back on the vert. I bet you long to see it on the road. We just took a 67 vert into the shop. The owner wants a stock restoration as far as the body work goes, but he wants a slightly modified drivetrain. I told him to check out this thread and see what a real...

    Hi All, I am in desperate need of 65 fastback front and rear NOS window moldings. Anyone have a clue??? I am getting desperate. If I did not say it already, I am a bit desperate. :-) Bob

    Hi All, Today the glass goes in. I am really pumped. This is the last major item prior to installing the interior. Wish us luck. Bob PS: All this talk of the "Ridler" has been fun. But the Ridler is not something you actually enter, but something for which you are chosen. I hope...

    The SN65 project car

    Hi All, We have been moving along quite well. We have the fenders, hood and headlight buckets mounted. We have spent a lot of time re-aligning the doors, fenders hood, etc... to give us the most consistent gaps. We have all the door internals complete save the installation of the glass...

    The SN65 project car

    Hi All, Yesterday we got a lot done in regard to assembling the doors, but we still have a way to go. There is only one thing that is holding us up right now. We need to find the material used to bond the stainless steel trim pieces to the drivers and passenger side glass. The material...

    Hi Rufus, You nailed it on the head. We used a 4" dia thin wall short radius tube from McMaster Carr. We cut the tube into two 45 degree sections. We then trimmed off excess material from the outside edge of one opening to the inside edge of the other (see photo below), leaving a...

    Hi All, New update at the site. Also, did anyone see the new Hot Rod mag. There is an article about the Ring bro's new car (the one that made it to the final five in the Good Guy's streat machine of the year comp). Anyway.... They made a comment about wanting the car to look as if it...

    Hi All, When we started this project, many of you thought we were whacked, loony, psycho, off our nut, certifiable, ready for the rubber room, etc… Well, for those naysayer’s out there, take a look at this. http://sn65.com/SN65%20chronological%20order%2005-12.htm Read the 12-24-05...

    Hi All, We were just standing around the shop chatting. I had a tape measure in my hands and thought I would take a few quick measurements off my driver and the SN65. The rear wheel opening on the SN65 is only 1/4" lower than stock. The measurement to the top of the SN65 quarter panel is...

    Hi 347, Don't mention it. It was great to meet you. The trunk seal is the one out of the 03 Cobra. It is a much better seal and it fits in with the 03/65 theme. Interesting that it fit right in with only a slight modification of the 03 seal.

    Hi Matt, I do believe that the video was a set up. If it were "for real" there would not have been different camera angles.

    Hi All, Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately. I have been so busy with the car, business, x-mass parties, etc... that it is tough to find time to sleep never the less anything else. :-) Anyway... We have been making steady progress on SN65. Right now it is the doors that are consuming...

    Hi All, Are there any Ford part number guru's out there? I need help finding two replacemants for the current parts I am using. The first are the sun vissors (I need Ford factory visors that are about 1" longer than the ones on the 03 Cobra). Also, I need a longer rubber boot for the...

    Hi 66, Actually, I am having Boyd work me up some 24's as we speak. He said "nothing says muscle car like a set of 24 inch boydsters." :-) Also, when all is said and done, we want about 500 to 550 RWHP.
