The rear seat area, lower side panels (from the trim strip down) are the early type rare to see those intact, note the two areas where the seat back latches, there is no metal cover plate.

Yes, as Bill noted speaker holes have been cut into them in the lower forward areas.

See attached...

Marti Report and Shelby VIN give the original color that was not a blue - Lime Gold.

'67 Shelby's without A/C (to my understanding) did not have any kind of front tint, also no tint (dazzle) strip across the top - clear glass top to bottom, left to right.

I took tinted windshield (replacement) that also had a tint strip across the top out of the car I had and installed the "correct" clear glass.

Thanks for posting the additional images of #2 Grille, in theory (to my understanding) this version never happened (outboard grilles with inboard mesh pattern material).

JD:  I bought an early GT 350 project about a month ago....
And I'm trying to sort out these grilles.
I received (5) ...Inboards/Outboards/Reproduction/Original...

Can you see how I could get confused?

LOL..!

Bret

Yes, thanks for posting the images.

On this topic see attached, repro inboard grille - note this is the later vertical upper grille version that fits and fills the upper opening.  These have added segments (added on each side/end) to make the grille wide enough to fill the upper opening. 

The grille mesh is available in 3 foot and 4 foot widths, the maker is buying the 3 foot version which is not wide enough and then adding extra material pieces to make the width fit the opening.  Note weld on back.  The 3 foot material the last segments go with "wide, narrow, wide"

An original, see attached front and back, note the vertical ribs hold the "wide, narrow, narrow" pattern (every 3rd vertical rib is wide followed by 2 narrow) all the way across. 

All versions have a wide center vertical rib.

Did ANY 1967 SHELBYS come from Shelby American with factory tinted SUN X glass, depending on where they were to be shipped to?

Rear window on all fastbacks were tinted, Ford Factory A/C optioned cars (and Shelby's with A/C) got tinted windows. 

Not sure if there was an option to get factory tinted without A/C - but that would not likely to have been on a car that was ordered from Ford to be a Shelby.

OK, now that you posted a photo of what you have to work with, it does look as though you have a '68 stripe section.

Not sure how long ago you got those from Branda, but you might see if you can get an exchange of the whole kit or just those two (each side) front segment.  If just the front sections be sure the blues match before installation.

Joel...
When I owned #2188 they never worked...

I never drove it at night so it wasn't a big deal...

OK if Bret is referring to the same car then you might also check that the dimmer switch is working and the bulbs are good as well, are the fender high-beams working?  (all four lights should come on when the dimmer is switched on).  Might be the dimmer is bad or not connected into the system?

the mesh pattern in #1 is the correct mesh for outboard grilles.

The mesh in image #2 is the mesh pattern for inboard grilles.

(Image comparison of the two mesh types added)

Can you post a whole photo of grille #2?

I seem to remember a drawing that placed the bottom stripe thin line along 1\4"above the door bottom.  Is that accurate?
Thanks,
Paul L

that sounds about right
