But for a 67 it would be not right or? With the C8ar case.

I think this paint thing will drive me crazy so was it now acrylic enamel or alkyd enamel? Becuase there are both answers here in the thread and we know there is a difference between acryl and alkyd.

Oh for the drying process I have a booth here and everything I need I only want to be sure to have the right paint, I think I need to mix a little bit and paint some metal and then hold it on a original engine bay from a 67/68 mustang here. What paint are you guys using for your restorations to get it concours?

Was it now acrylic or alkyd enamel? Because I read both in this thread and its a difference between both.

do you have a link to the rug-s?

I´m looking for a 67 Midland Booster and a SMB-K Steering Box for a 67 Shelby anybody wan to sell me something? Thanks...

Thank you all for the nice answers, that help me a lot. And you cant buy that paint anymore in the usa? Here I can buy enamel polyurethan paint with hardener and reducer and mix it so that would be good? Or was it not a pu enamel paint what Ford used was it acrylic enamel?

Will do it monday, ok?

I think some people also would say a shelby is a modded mustang and they would prefer a "normal" Fastback or coupe whatever, a resto-mod is a empty body with new parts from summit etc. What I want to do is to make a correct restoration or build with some upgrades on the original parts. I have a big stock of so many fomoco original parts from 67/68 and I love them all I think I know what the difference between scott drake and fomoco is and I love to take old original parts and to rebuild them also if the same part in new would cost me only 5$

Again I only want to build it right like factory did it and if it was enamel I will get here in germany. I found some sellers of enamel paint the only question is it a 1 component or 2 component paint so do I need hardener or was it really out of a big canister and sprayed on the cars.

I dont want to built the mustangs to concours only thing I want to do is a correct build, restoring the original parts like it should be, painting the engine bay etc correct, because when I do it I want it right for me. I want to build the cars how I will like them pretty much orignal with some senseful mods and drive them,thats the same like Shelby did with the mustangs. I want to build classic mustangs with no summit, cjpony crap on them but yes I will upgrade the control arms, steering etc. but at the end they should have the correct finish also when they have ball bearings etc. I want to optimize the stock parts and give them a finish like they would be from factory. Maybe call it sleeper or stock looking modified mustang I dont know ;-) I only know I love the Mustangs and Shelby´s and a normal concours restoration makes no sense for me because I drive them a lot. So I want to make all the bodyworks, paint etc. really nice and yes in concours quality, also finish of the parts should be concours quality etc. but it will be modified at the end of the day but very nice and charming. I think you guys will love the results. The cars I´m doing the next 6 months are pretty much original except for the shelby clone and so I want to keep their soul. I hope you understand now what I mean.

Ok I was now searching for 3 days for the correct paint for the Mustang 67/68 Engine Bay and Undercarriage here are my questions

1. Does somebody has some pictures where you can see the underccarriage+engine bay painted concours for san jose and nj plant
2. what kind of black did they used in the factorys? was it a normal paint or did they used hardener etc. I read so many stuff about it what people use which is close to original but nobody talk about it really what the factory was using and what is the closest you can buy. Also for the red primer what was that and what will be the closest to buy now?
3. Why do I dont found a book, website etc. where somebody show its concours restoration on a Shelby 1967 or 67 Mustang there are so many secrets and a lot of people ask the same questions over and over again. I think a book or website with detailed pictures and content would be so lovely for all of us Shelby and Mustang Guys.

I have a 68 1/2 CJ, a 67 Fastback Shelby Clone and a 67 Fastback I want to build in the winter and I want to make them close to factory/ concours with some smaller mods, but all I can do in concours style will be concours so that why I´m asking here. I know a lot of things but not that much like a lot of you guys so your help is appreciated, maybe we can start a guide to concours or a good factory looking restoration that can be used by everyone in the future.

Thanks Kent

A bit offtopic, I heard that the whindshiel washer+bag was not on every 67 mustang from factory. I had many mustangs 67/68 and at some it really appeared like its true because all the parts for it were complete missing and they were pretty original cars with 1-2 owners unrestored.

My GT500 1967 came from Pletcher Ford also

Where can I buy the relay? Thanks Kent

Not sure where they built the rest, but I know that the lease contract for lax was finished for 31 August 1967

It looks like a need to book a flight for that time from germany. It will be my 6th saac meet then. I would love to bring my shelby but to ship it overseas and the time without it will be not nice.
