How much is too much on this stuff?? so far mine is the heaviest that I've seen on any year Mustang at shows....I am trying to compaire.....I also think that both sides SHOULD NOT be the same as when the car was coming down the line that 2 different people squirted it on before installing the fender....
Putty between fenders and inner aprons?

It varies from car to car. Most original cars I have seen don't have very much showing though. Remember this was strip caulk.

I am with you on your opinion/view on this Charles, do you remember the amount that was on my car when you saw it?-I am still tinkering on some stuff on it and want to get it right!!

I can't remember exactly Rick, sorry! If I remember right, gray caulk was used.

Charles, You are right I think....the stuff is Gray in color but has the consisticy of putty over caulk to me-is the strip caulk that you are speaking of Gray or something else? I'm going to try & post a couple of pictures.....

6hypo5conv - what plant and year.
Stuff I see on cars from San Jose was a very dark gray to black - though it oxidizes over the year and turns white like the sound deadener

Jeff, My Kar is July 1965 Dearborn built, I hope to have a couple of pictures up today so everyone can see what I've got now.

They gray strip caulk turns black/dark gray after it oxidizes. Mr Rick hope that helps I have pictures of alot of original cars with lots of strip caulk

Sounds great - look forward to more pictures
Here are a few for you to compare - IMHO more typical but like allot of details workers could apply a little or allot.
IMHO stuff looks like the same or similar stuff they used to seal the gas tank in place. Same tacky dark gray/black sort of thing
First Mike's very nice original car - same period of production as yours

A few from a little earlier than yours but same plant to give an idea of where they meant to place it. (arrows - white/light gray remnants)
