1967 Shelby GT 500 Moss Green #504 has the 2 piece nose and slanted Grill. SA completion date January 30th.
Question though, the upright bracket looks like it was two piece, and welded, is this correct. Based on comparisons it seems it is not correct.
Sorry I forgot to add your image with notes... Terry, you are correct, the weld on the hood support bracket is not typical. (Not sure why this would have been "spliced", you might compare to a unmodified one and see if the overall heights are the same)
The plastic clip (red arrow) is a Shelby added item, it was to hold the wire to the inboard headlights to the support.
Also, the headlight bucket is a Unmodified one, Shelby made this hole larger so the headlight connector could fit through the hole and then they added a rubber grommet to close the enlarged hole.
See image below for a comparison of un-modified and modified and the grommet, hope this helps

Images added: early inboard light car with the plates for mounting the headlight buckets and the hood latch support bracket (Ford) modified by Shelby. Note there is a weld where (some?) of the nose support/license plate bracket got welded to the hood support bracket, this seems to be where the cut and re-weld is on the bracket in question. Could be it was cut during removal or accident repair at some point and then spot welded to re-attach??
Also note the enlarged holes in the head light buckets and the supply wire with the connector routed through the enlarged holes. This is why the rubber grommets were needed/made.
