Nothing yet, Dan. I haven't finished going through the good-sized box of documents that came with the car.

I am in need of the 3 flat clips that go on the drivers side inner fender well that hold the headlight wiring harness to the fender well.

There is a master parts source sticky thread: https://65gs.com/board/index.php/topic,2177.0.html

Hey Dan, I recently acquired the Shuman convertible. It is a survivor GS. It does not have A/C. In the many pieces of memorabilia of this car is the same tag. It looks as though this tag is common to either A/C equipped cars and non- A/C cars.

Congrats on the new addition to your fleet!

Is there any other documentation (e.g. other interior hang tags, starting instructions? etc.) to share?

I am looking into possibly reproducing these hang tags - keep everyone posted.

I don't have any knowledge with the AC cars, however heater box covers were sealed to the firewall with caulking. 3M strip caulk I'd expect to be avail to you locally. It can be used on the door panel water shields, and to seal various trim hardware where it goes thru a body panel. It's a good item to have around.

For custom gasket making, a sheet or roll of 1/8" sponge neoprene is another useful product to keep in stock. I've used it for vent door seals, heater box seals, and qtr panel extensions on my 66's.

Your car looks great!! Congrats on the progress, it's coming together very nicely!

JEGS and OPG and several other venders have gasket kits available for both AC and non AC Skylarks.
