So Kirk did you end up going to Sterling to pick the trailer up? Looks like your the rebuild thread to get us thru the winter!

I have just seen in your first pic,your boot stripe is the same as mine. I have never noticed any others that are the same, most seem to continue all the way to the front. Did Steve meet you in town and blindfold you for the ride out to the ranch? If you ever decide you need a new axle check with TimB he has a source and might have one for the springs too. I had trouble with the seal area on mine so I bought one and it fit fine. As you will find out when you eventually work on yours running gear parts are odd sizes compared to others.

M 2198 is what the tag says. Is this what art needs to look up the invoice ? I found some old registrations it says she is a 69 . |

That's the hull number you're looking for. It's definitely not a '69 though. The number would seem to reinforce my previous guess.
I have a number of 68-70 mustang id numbers collected, the earliest verified is in the late 2200's and was a '68 built in sept of 67. I'd say yours is a late 67 or very early 68 based on the id and other trim details I see. What's in the battery box? |

It's a frozen mouse nest.
It's funny you say it's older cuz there were about 6 or so old registrations in the side panel and all saying 69. How does one decipher the serial #s Did the fiber glass floor go all the way back ? |

Looks like someone made the battery box hole bigger too, the edges are cut at 90 compaired to a radius. I have some floor pictures Kirk but will get them later,I can't get into photobucket for some reason and yes it goes quite a way back. Do you have the toe board? I have a decent one if you need it.

I don't have the piece that is behind the motor. Don't know it thereever was one.
The carpet was tacked with staples, I'm hoping it will clean up |

In the end I used the same 3m compounds and pads that we use on the hull. Cleaned up really well.

There is no "decoding" the serial number, they were just sequential (with some exceptions). Art should be able to pull the build sheet on it and confirm the date.
It's pretty common for registrations to list the year incorrectly, you see it all the time. Apparently the DMV is not the authority on year to year changes at Correct Craft. A '69 would have had different seats, light, dash, scoops (style, placement, number), etc, as noted earlier in the thread. |

Took the windshield off today and one side was plastic and the other glass?
Is the white molding still available somewhere? How would one fix this? |

Yes, scoops are original, since I posted last year about not recognizing those rounded scoops, I've encountered a few 67 and early 68 boats with them.
Not sure what we're looking at in the "how do I fix this" pic? Motorbox looks good! |

Kind of weird why the windshield frame broke where it attaches to the deck. We have a plastic panel in our Classic windshield. It was a challenge to put it together due to the plastic being slightly thicker than the glass. The color of the motor box is nice!

Which side of your windshield is plastic, port or starboard? I believe the mounting tab on the windshield could be welded back on.

It's sure worth a try but, some alloys can't be welded. You won't know until the welder tries to develop the weld puddle. |

I can set you up with another plastic port side pane. Sorry. See if they can weld up your frame. If all else fails get back to me sometime. I will know a lot more when I get mine assembled.

Ken Meloon at the Taveres show was telling me how many halfs they used to go thru,I'm guessing the passenger is using it for a handle,while the driver used the wheel?

Another reason to turn that observer seat around the way it's supposed to be! The pylon is a sturdier grab handle too. |
