1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Color on backside of nose piece?
« on: September 17, 2019, 10:20:37 AM »
The original nose was fully primered when repaired so the original bare green isn't an option anymore so it looks like I'm left with painting or body color or a black and going with preference.  Should have asked the question before the repair  :(

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Color on backside of nose piece?
« on: September 17, 2019, 08:16:34 AM »
The nose of my May 67 had a one inch crack near the bumber bracket and I had it repaired. Before I put it back on I figured I'd confirm that the back side isn't painted body color and is black like the underside of the hood and trunk lid?   The black looks like maybe a satin? Thanks in advance for your help.

Good clarification- they are original fiberglass pieces that I am mounting.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / How to mount nose on a 67
« on: August 22, 2019, 08:45:01 AM »
I have a late 67 Shelby and the hood and nose were removed when the engine was pulled for rebuilding. I didn't do the removal and am now left with trying to figure out the correct way to reattach it. The lazy way would be to get some nuts and bolts and just attach it.  However, I'd rather attach it the way it was originally done. Does anyone have any pictures of the fasteners (so I can try to match mine up) and of the process?  Any special spacers or brackets? Do bolts face towards the front or back?  Honestly I have no idea how there were originally mounted and with what and was hoping for some guidance.

Not mine.  Just stumbled across a GT500 on facebook marketplace that's located in Westminster MA. Maroon, rusty underneath and outside but looks pretty complete in pictures.  Maybe this guys find is someone's dream car so just passing it along.

Thanks Jeff. That's an interesting piece about the early ones I didn't know. I assumed they were the same design but figured its good info to validate and put the info in the (weak and tired)mental vault for future reference. I've seen lots of altered 65-70 fenders/quarters and it gets confusing when and on what cars had modified lips.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Fender Identification Shelby vs Standard Mustang
« on: August 06, 2019, 03:57:43 PM »
I was looking at some 67 fenders I have last night and noticed the coupe ones I have look exactly like my original Shelby ones.  They both seemed to have the inner lip at the top turned/rolled in a little (factory look- not rolled by a back yard hot rodder).  The only difference I noticed between the std mustang and Shelby fenders were emblem holes.  Long story for a short question- were they all the same?

Thanks for the feedback and for the link. Anghel restorations has some great info posted on 69/70 cars. I wish there was a site with the same straight forward/definitive guides with pictures like that for 67/68 specifics on unique parts!

I have a 70 boss and was missing the orig. rear spoiler. I now have one to put on my car but was wondering about the reinforcement brackets that go on the inside of the decklid (underside).  Were they used for all 69 and 70 mustangs with spoiler or was it based on plant or implemented in a certain month? Don't want to find and add them if they weren't correct for my car.  Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Up For Auction / what did the 67 GT500 go for at Barrett Jackson
« on: July 01, 2019, 09:09:42 AM »
I saw the car in person but it was hard to tell how well it was done from behind a rope. I didn't get to see when it sold- anyone see how much it went for?

I plan to strip my 67 hood and 69 side ducts (still up in the air about razor blading it off, chemical strip or sanding the hood off mechanically). Years ago when I worked on a corvette everyone applied "gelcoat" over the fiberglass even if most of the factory sealer was intact. I'm guessing that chances are that I'll be exposing some bare fiberglass and want to ensure nothing shows through the paint when its time. My question is do I need to go find gelcoat from a place like Ecklers or will epoxy primer do just as good?  What are people using to seal their hoods, noses, scoops etc?

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Shoulder Belt Length?
« on: June 05, 2019, 10:00:11 AM »
I was offered up a pair of Shelby shoulder belts for what the owner was claiming to be 67 belts (no tags).  The length from the very bottom of the vinyl inverted "V" area at the top near wheel it goes into the inertia reel to the tip of the end chrome buckle looked a little short.  I want to have the owner measure them for me before I spend anymore time on it.  Can someone post the length of those shoulder belt straps to arm me with the correct info. Thanks in advance.

Very good ideas- thanks. Feel much better I have some clear options.

In April I placed an order with M Unlimited for both a 67 GT500 and a 70Boss 302 driveshaft with yoke.  My Shelby one was not in great shape and since its a driver felt a shinny new bare metal one at $430 with yoke would be nice to have and I am missing the boss one (last one I had made for a regular 65 cost me more).   I just called for a status today and was told they cancelled my order with no reason.  Do any of the other major parts dealers sell them?  I wanted to avoid dealing with getting one made from a small or mom and pop kind of place and liked the cost and free shipping the major parts seller would offer.  If anyone has a good source let me know.  Thanks.

Up For Auction / Re: Possible Scam??
« on: May 15, 2019, 09:55:43 AM »
So I finally got a response from this ad. In fact I received two of the exact messages from a "Brent Wiley".   In the response he is of course working at the US embassy in Baghdad, wont be available until August and the car is "ready for the road".  Obviously this was scam.  It was worth looking into but I guess my hopes of a 30k 68 Shelby project have been dashed!!  Maybe he can get me a deal on a tank ;)
