Please forgive me if this has already been asked before - I did try searching for it first, but couldn't quite find a definitive answer...
Were the bushing ends of the upper control arms dipped in black paint for 1967, or were they left un-dipped? I've seen '67's UCA's restored both ways, so I'm not sure. My question is for the San Jose cars in particular, but I would also be interested in what they did at Dearborn and Metuchen as well...

Currently the belief and expectation is that the uppers were supplied to the line all natural (not dipped) while service replacements were still being supplied as dipped

Thanks guys. That will save me trouble of buying a couple gallons of black paint - and potentially making a huge mess in the garage!
(Well, at least until it comes time to do the lowers...)

Jeff,
I know this thread is for a 67, but would this also be true for my MAR 66 Metuchen car?

Jeff,

No it would not be the same because that would be for a 66 production car and not a 67 production car which is the subject of this thread that as you admit you are aware. :o

Well THAT was tactful. Been just as easy to answer yes or no. And my question was not "Is it the SAME?" My question was "Would that also be true for a MAR 66 Metuchen car?"
I'm sure I just lost 100 points if YOU ever judge my car. :)

"Tact" is not a pre-requsite to any forum.

Brian ,It is obvious tact didn't work here. I don't know what kind of answer you were looking for but sorry if my response bothered to the point of feeling compelled to lower yourself to make a inappropriate sarcastic remark. I will try and be clearer for you. 66 production cars regardless of plant are typically half dipped. They are not the subject of this thread and why you would ask knowing it wasn't appropriate (as you admitted in your post knowing) is confusing to me. I only judge cars as I see them and not based on previous less then appropriate posts or sarcastic responses. :D

...I don't know what kind of answer you were looking for...
Just a simple yes or no would have been very efficient.
-
Jeff,.......but would this also be true for my MAR 66 Metuchen car?
No different year, plant, answer

Perfect answer. Thanks Jeff. ;)

I'm going to give my opinion on this particular thread.
I honestly think that Bob Gaines remark to bryancobb was totally out of line. We are on this forum to help,learn,and communicate about this great hobby we all share. We are also on here to preserve,restore, as true enthusiast/hobbyist, these wonderful cars we have grown to love over the past half century called the Mustang. And most/all of us wouldn't be on here if we didn't have the need for information no matter how,pardon my wording,stupid or dumb a reply may be.
And personally, I think there were nothing wrong with bryancobb asking about the 66 issue. And a reply should've been a simple yes or no, and to tell bryancobb that another thread may be started to cover that particular year in more detail for all to discuss. I'm sure bryancobb lashed out in the heat of the moment with his remark, that's only human nature.
I have made two(2) charitable donations to this forum in the past and plan on making other donations in the future because of its highly knowledgeable people here. And would like to see us all get along because of the need for this forum.
These are my opinions and may not set well with others, but, this is what I feel about this situation and felt compelled to respond.
