I had shared several Blog posts containing lots of images of the ongoing restoration of '66 Shelby 6S933 on the old forum. There haven't been many posts lately, so here's a link to a new one as the painting process begins. I'll post more updates as the restoration moves forward.
I've posted quite a few pictures in this particular post, so please click on the link or picture to see more. If you subscribe to the Blog, you will automatically get updates on new posts.

Hi Brant, I do follow the posts on your blog, I love the photos, and your shop does incredible work. Maybe someday Maple Hill will have 6S1568 there too. I'm not done driving it yet. Thanks for sharing. Denny
Brant,
Thanks for sharing, Jeremy does an amazing job!
Greg
Amazing work
assuming most of the blue wheel well paint will be covered over in black undercoating?
Amazing blog!
Thanks for sharing!
Your attention to detail is amazing. I am torn, because I feel these cars should be driven, and I am not sure a car will be used after this level of restoration.

seems as though recently the path suggested by some is to: restore, then collect the significant awards, and after that start
driving (need the "peel out" smilie here)

No, it is done correctly. Sound deadener first and then body color. The only way it would have 'undercoating' is if a dealer or previous owner applied it after the car was built/shipped.

Some of us really do restore and then drive. I had mine restored to "near" perfection. (I don't believe there is such a thing as a truly perfect car.) Correct overspray patterns, production line parts, the whole ball of wax. Started driving it the day it came home. I skipped collecting the significant awards because that's not important to me.
It's all a matter of priorities, and mine is driving. But I'm happy that not everyone thinks like me. I enjoy looking at the concours winning trailer queens. And I admire the knowledge and skill that goes into a project like that.
BTW, using 50-plus year old, factory, production line electrical parts is not the hot tip of the day for reliability. You can probably figure out how I learned that. Ha, ha!
Steve
I agree with Steve, I am aiming for a similar type of car. Everything correct but a car that isn't afraid to get her tyres dirty. Sort of how it rolled out of SA. Not a car that I drive without care but one that gets used. Just my 2 cents. Everyone has there own way.
Cheers
+2...I agree with Steve and GT350lad [although if I get the tires dirty, she's up on the jack stands getting a bubble bath!] ;D

Might want to look over that undercarriage article I posted the link to
http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=380.msg1914#msg1914
Was not uncommon for owners to black out wheel wells with a little rattle can. Still do it today on new cars I purchase if they don't have those black plastic fender liners ::)

Here is a question, on picture 24 of 55 in the Virginia Mustang blog. Why does the core support have a dot of yellow paint in the middle of the top part? Does that yellow paint tell someone on the assembly line something as it is being built?

Yes it does by yours may not have had the same mark. Seen allot without it.
The purpose of just about all markings is to get someones attention, let them know something quickly about the car coming to their station, indicate something has been completed, inspected, checked, paint color to use................ Shifts and workers assigned the task of marking the bodies would sometimes differ but each had their method. These may seem random until you see enough of them and patterns/habits often become apparent
And you will also notice the writing on the radiator support (again instructions or indicators to other workers on the line) they are covered by engine compartment black when the car is painted not over it as you see in some "restoration" ;)
Did the same (different writing and of course plant & year) on my Boss about three years back

Thank you, I appreciate the answer.
I didn't ask my question correctly, but what does that one particular paint mark on the core support mean?
I understand the markings in other places mean different things to workers on the line, just curious what that one on upper core support meant. I am probably sweating the details too much. Is it Shelby specific or did all Mustangs get that yellow mark (on the core upper support exactly)?
I love the level of detail this car has. It is amazing! I would love to do this to my car someday, but I have so much to learn first.
It's interesting to note that this yellow marking was also found under the dash/cowl area below where the export brace reinforcement piece was welded to the cowl on both 6S933 and 6S033.

Yes really odd/interesting. Thanks for sharing. Not something I've ever found nor have others mentioned/documented. But not an area easily accessed nor seen. Noticed that you didn't mention that you saw the same mark on the other 66's you two have done
Not sure why a mark would need to be place in the interior side but then we have these two examples.
Have found yellow (fairly large) prepaint marks in the trunk and a couple of other locations (even gold) on other years and models
Excellent work Brant, feel free to delete this post , to keep focus on 933
On 2020 the yellow is more substantial right across the support. (sanded the black off to reveal)
The original yellow D is above the black.( if indeed it is a D)
drivers side "26" is under the black
pass side "DSO" is under the black

I can comment my San Jose Nov 1965 built non-Shelby also had the sloppy splash of yellow across the top of the core support much like what is shown in Darryll's (6s2020) photo.

Sure Jeremy will get to that. Looks like the pictures may be pre engine compartment paint also.
Like the non 100% coverage of body color in all the nooks and crannies of the trunk :)

Jim,
6S477 had yellow paint ( under the black) on the top of the core support about 18"s wide and favoring the driver's side.It was more of a "taxi cab" yellow than a "canary yellow". Brush paint , not spray. It was probably built in Oct at SJ by the Ford vin.
Randy
1127 will begin restoration later this year. It too has the yellow on the radiator support and inside the firewall. It also has large D in yellow inside on each kick panel

For those reading be sure that after the restoration that the yellow paint on the radiator support is under the black engine bay paint and not on top of the black paint were it is visible. It is easy to get confused on these nuance details which are good to know about but are not seen once restored.
On a few odd/rare cars you can sometimes find a yellow paint splash under the exterior paint in the trunk area also. Think the latest I've seen for San Jose was in 69
As for 66 production the marking on the top of the radiator support I've not found a pattern yet since not all of the cars seem to have this marking. As others have mentioned this is under the engine compartment black and about the only thing you may see on the finished produce is a ripple in the black paint or drips in the black as a results of the runs in the yellow below. Just like when its found in the trunk surface. On the top of the radiator support it can some times look or be confused with some firewall sealant that at times got applied to the general same location by a messy worker ::)
It's not like the crayon marks under the black that can produce more of a shadow at times when observed from an angle in the black paint applied over those markings

Great work Brant & Co, looking good.
Great looking work, and an amazing color, but i might be biased. :)
Brant,
You guys are making quality progress on this car!
Question - I thought with an earlier/mid 66, like 6s933, that the washer fluid reservoir bag would be the black/white version, not the gold lettering version you've used? When is the approx Shelby/Ford switchover point or why'd you go with the gold version?
Thanks!
Brent

Brent,
I think this was discussed in another thread, but yeah, the general thought used to be that the gold lettered bag did not appear until very late '66. I used to even list it that way.
With more research, it appears that this particular style was used earlier than that. There are several examples, but I know that even 6S598 that appears in the April 1966 edition of Sports Car Graphic has the gold lettered bag. 6S933 had its original.
This is an incredible build and thanks to Brant for sharing it!
I have a question for the Shelby Judges, how would you judge this car. Obviously, there has been great pains and money spent to recreate the painting over spray process but I don't believe Ford or Shelby took such great pains originally. I respect what has been done and my question is one of education and definitely not to criticize.
It looks like an amazing better than factory build quality.

I'll take this one...6S033 was built the same way and scored a high gold in Div. II/Concours at the Indianapolis convention.

Brant, that's great and deserving. I assume a car that was done close to assembly line methods would also score the same? The restorations that Jeremy does are exceptional.

Well, exact overspray patterns are duplicated, etc. and all details are put back as found, so...
There are many different methods used when restoring a car and "qualities" of restoration. This particular way is very time consuming with more time spent on details such as dent removal, pitting removal, panel straightness, etc...lots of time.
If the details and parts are correct, yes, the car will score well. There will always be a small deduction for base/clear paint if it is sanded and buffed i.e. doesn't look like the original single stage finish/without orange peel.
If you are interested in more details, it would be easier to give me a call.
Thank you Brant, I truly appreciate the knowledge and clarification and will call to discuss.

That question is a ironic one because Ford DIDN'T take great pains in the painting and sealing process and that is why there is over spray in various places . If Ford was more careful and took more care there wouldn't be the overspray. ;) Trying to recreate the process to get the same look is the trick . It takes knowledge and ability.
Greg,no harm no foul but wanted to clarify that from Wikipedia, Irony , in its broadest sense, is a event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case.
Bob, no worries, I didn't take it wrong at all. I appreciate all the comments and that is why I am on here to learn more about the cars and processes.
I know the restorer has taken great pains to "create" overspray and it seemed to me that just letting the overspray occur as it would have in the same manner as Ford did would have been much easier and less expensive. There are many ways to the same end but from what I have learned is production line really wasn't created but allowed happen. In some other restoration brands like Corvette, they actually deduct for cars that are too good. I wasn't sure how this was judged when it came to Shelby.
Thanks,
Greg

It can be hard to create the overspray the original way when not using the same assemblyline equipment that the factory used . The guns are quite different and so are the volume levels. The same goes for the materials used. There is more to it then just letting overspray occur . If that was the case it would be easy not hard. That is if trying to replicate the way it looked on the cars from the factory. There are deductions when the overspray is missing or the patterns wrong. Too good in the context as it pertains to the concours judging that the various Mustang venues recognize means that the factory procedures that appear sloppy to some are missing and are grounds for deductions.
Thank you for the comments!
Finally posted an update on the restoration of 6S933. It's pretty much finished except for putting some miles on it.
Its debut will be at SAAC-44 in Pittsburgh in July.

Thanks for sharing - Looks great. Looking forward to seeing it in person
Great looking car, Brant. From you I would not expect any less. Ron
Looks awesome, something to aspire to
Cheers
That looks pretty cool with the "as delivered" no stripes.
Great looking Shelby, I'll be anxious to see it in person in July.
Who says they are only new once?
Here is a link to kind of the "wrap up" post of the restoration of 1966 GT350 SFM6S933.
Kudos to Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration for the absolute stunning restoration. The owner from NY who commissioned the restoration sold the car to another customer from here in Virginia. Click on the picture or link to see more pictures.
