I am wanting to know what sizes of tires would be good to run on a set of Shelby 10 spoke wheels. Do you run the same size of tire on all 4 corners or are you guys running a little bigger tire in the rear than in the front?

Use a piece of cardboard - when you get what you want transfer it to the panel and cut it

Not sure how that would work given this type of situation. I appreciate your input though.

Does anybody have a tutorial or how to modify the rear interior quarter panels to fit the roll bar on 1967-1968 GT350/GT500's.

I can definitely modify a little by little in making them fit around the roll bar but I was just wondering if anybody had a really good technique or process in which they used to do it fairly quickly or more efficiently.

Maybe somebody has a template or something like that?

I was wondering if all 1968 Shelbys 350/500/500KR have tinted back glass or did some of them have clear back glass?

I am installing interior including new headliner and I am wondering if the 68 GT500KR came with coat hooks or did the factory delete them because of the roll bar installation?

Got them installed and thanks you guys!

Awesome guys. All this information helped me get it into the correct approximate location. Thanks!

Yep that is the one. I did some asking around and research and it seems that I am missing some brackets that attach to the back of the valance and to the tank itself.

I am installing a new gas tank in my 1968 Mustang and the install hardware kit included 12 stainless hex bolts and 2 larger dark colored bolt with J clips

There are 2 larger holes on either side of the filler neck that I guess where the J clips are supposed to go?
Is there a reason for the j clips toward the rear near the filler neck instead of just regular screws like the rest of the hardware?

Does something install near the rear of the tank using J clips?


I didnt notice this until after I installed the strip caulk and put the gas tank in place. Will i have to take the tank back out?

My original paint kr before restoration
Drivers fender cobra head center 1 1/8 down from bodyline
8 1/2 inches over from panel edge. Base of cobra 4 inches down. 9 3/8 over from fender edge.
428 is 5 1/2 inches from panel edge

When you say panel edge are you talking about the edge that forms the fender to door body gap? Also from what exact part of the emblem are the 8 1/2 , 9 3/8 and 5 1/2 measurements taken from?

Also what is base of cobra 4 inches down?

Appreciate the measurements just want to make sure I understand. Thanks!

Panel edge of the fender at the door gap,  if you hook a tape measure on the fender going forward. This is the driver side.
8 1/2 to center of the snake head (from edge gap forward)
9 3/8 to the foward most part of the snake coil (from edge gap forward)
5 1/2 inches from  fender edge to the right side of the 8 in 428 (from edge gap forward)

Base of cobra is 4" down from bodyline (top to bottom)
Head of cobra is 1 1/8 " down from bodyline (top to bottom)

The picture is from 1994. if you look closely you can see the marks at the measurements. Sorry the pics a little faded

Thank you for the details! This will make it alot easier!

Did the factory install some sort of rubber body gaskets in between the body and the front & rear side markers for 1968 Shelby KR?
