First I would like to thank everybody for the info on the two piece nose for the 1967 Shelby's. It help me a lot in getting the front nose squared away. From the enlarging the holes in back of the inboard light buckets to the color or lack of color on the rivets.
So I thought I would start another thread on the two piece nose because I have more questions about detail of the 2 piece nose and I didn't want to clog up the info on on the first thread unless the moderator deems the following questions are OK to move to the original post on two piece noses.
So here are my observations and questions and note I've researched on this site about more detail on the two piece nose and also reviewed the 1967 Shelby GT250/GT500 Master assembly manual but still have questions.
In my original post I thought the vertical bracket that holds the inboard lights was split and someone welded the two pieces back together but cleaning everything up, it was not split in two but welded at one time to the triangle brace on the horizontal bar that the fiberglass nose piece rivets to. Based on the pictures on the original thread, it should have not been welded to that piece, correct?
I ordered the AMK rivet kit for the Shelby nose and it comes with 15 rivets, Where do all the rivets go, my nose only has 3, two on/in opening of the upper grill and one on the lower valence holding the two pieces of the nose together.
On the early 2 piece slanted grills, was there a U-shaped rubber used on the edge of the grills?
The finish of the black paint on the on all brackets I assume was a satin black? Gloss or satin on the headlight buckets that hold the bulbs?
Again, thank you for your help.
