67 shelby taillight/scoop installation help.

[firestanggt]

2510 is finally getting put back together after 30something years of it being a pile of parts. I could use some help on getting the taillights all back in. My first question is about sealing them. Is there only one gasket in the assembly-between the lens and housing, or should there be others? Next, does anyone have a good procedure for getting everything back into place? The boxes are currently lose so would it be easier to leave them that way until everything is in place? Any recommendations on how to seal the taillight panel to the body to keep the fumes and water out?
I was hoping the shelby assembly manual would help but of course the taillight assembly diagram is not in there. Go figure.

One more question. Any recommendations on sealing the side scoops and air extractors to the body without it being too noticeable?

Thanks

Well, if you get this wrong, you'll have fumes in the car. So, most of us here are also forum members at www.SAACforum.com Go to the 67 Shelby section and do a seach. This comes up often.
There are 2 different sealers you use. And, the thing to make sure is that the corners that you can't see inside the tail light fiberglass panel yet out side the metal Mustang tail light panel are sealed closed.

Open of the sealers is clear silicone. You also mount/seal the side scoops with this (Concours correct). Put a bead on the scoop, hold it on the car to smusch it out. snug down the fasteners. Wipe off the excess with a wet rag.

Also after help from other saac forum members on getting my '67 back together the popular vote was to mount everything to the fiberglass panel and then mount the whole assembly onto the car. I did this and then sealed the panel to the body as described. Without proper sealing you will get fumes coming in.
Don't forget to use the proper rivets. They are 1/8", black and AMK sells them, labeled in a bag part #F3290 Taillamp panel (Shelby) Black Blind Rivets - 8, for this use.
