Yes they had heat shields. I have a '70 -6 and it has the same holes for a heat shield. Early cars had bolts to attach and later cars were welded

I guess I have never noticed the bolt heads in the trunk floor on early cars before. Thanks!

Wow, I'm just seeing this thread today. Nothing short of awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I'd like to visit your shop some day ... I live in Torrance most of the time these days.


I'm in Gasoline Alley on Normandie. Shoot me a PM.

For those doing a rotisserie restoration, do yourself a favor. Make sure you put the plastic boot on the steering shaft before you install the suspension. Then, when you put that on don't forget to install the shaft bearing. This should have been a one step process of installing the suspension, but, because of me we removed the suspension twice. Also, make sure you clean the blasting media and any grease from the inside of the a arms. You'll save a lot of time and stress. I tend to learn things the hard, expensive way. This car is no exception. I have other restoration tips that I will share along the way. Tips that I learned the hard way. Stay tuned.

Kent and James, those wheels and tires look like $hit. I have some genuine imitation polished western style wheels I'll sell you for $1,500. Maybe think about flares before you paint it. That way you could run some really wide centerlines with BF Goodrich tires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm working on a GT project; the body work is now in process. This is likely obvious to many, but can you tell me what type of paint you used. Single stage or two stage, and what brand?

Dave, Dave. I'll have you know that the front ones are super damn close to original 6 1/2 inch fake Fuchs. The rear are Fuchs. I think. Anyway, they still retain their original patina and worn tires. Original is the way to go. Loser!

You can always put fiberglass flares on it later.

This is a beautiful car that is way over the top.
That means....you have to....or must....show us multitudes of pics.
Karma has dealt you that my friend.
Seriously, I'm saving a bunch of your pics for a "go by" when I start putting my car back together next year.
Really great stuff....
