Yes, you have this vision that all the new parts will bolt up and go together with a special beauty, then you find the stripped threads and the hammers and pry bars come out 😂 it was all prefit and threads were all chased before paint, but yes its never as smooth to assemble has people think. But thats car building for you....

Interesting color choice 

the factory choose the color(silver Jade) the pictures are dark because the paint booth lights are not as bright has they could be. much lighter in person

just wanted to share and give sneak peak on project we are working on. it's my first restore on a 1969 Shelby of any style. should be fun... thanks in advance for help that will be asked for in the next months Jeremy

thanks Peter, just what i was looking for!!!!!!

Okay need help with process done to paint front clip for a 1969 Shelby gt350 or 500. Im getting ready to paint a 1969 convertible GT350. I have never done a 69 and I didn't disassemble this car before I started restore. It came to me apart.
     My question is....Was the stone guard on assembly when the base color of car was done? or was it added to assembly along with grill? or was it all assembled, painted body color, then painted argent silver. need help soon would like to paint tomorrow.

looking to buy a few 15" three knob 1967 steel wheels looking to finish a set, would like to get dates codes close. i have two wheels now. one is nov 66 and one is march of 67. would be will to trade to get the same dates.
   i also have two 15" four knob wheels, one is a 69 and one is a 70 i believe, i would be willing to trade for 67

thanks Jeff great photos, exactly what i was looking for. thank you A+++

Do you have a real build date for the car at Dearborn?  That would help narrow down examples

jan 13 1969 is actual build date

another question on car 202 1969 gt350 convertible, does anyone or can anyone send me or post good pictures of the seal sealer patterns and sound deadener in the trunk are of convertibles. thanks in advance. again car came to me striped and a shell so i cant go off pictures i don't have that I usually take when restoring a car.

Since nothing from the PS or AC system is attached to the front driver's side inner fender panel I don't see any differences

Here are four examples of the early inner fender panel without the extra ribs. As you can see in the upper left the four depressions/hole stamping depth can vary - Designed to hole the rev limiters on cars equipped with them. None of the cars pictured below had rev limiters originally. As for any other hole you should be able to compare (reason for multiple examples) and determine which were added and which were original

Hope this helps

X'ed out the one hole which was likely a plastic catch can that was attached with a single screw. You can see where the main body swung back and forth and wore through the black paint

Jeff that helps thank you and everyone else that responded

What is the Shelby number? Options?

automatic , A/C, #202

Okay I'm in need of help. I'm restoring a 1969 gt350 onvertible, January 13th build. I'm at a little disadvantage because I got car  already apart and striped and primer. I'm finishing up repairs and getting close to paint stage and need to know a few details.
    The front drivers apron is my question. Trying to figure out if all these holes are needed. Need to know if these are holes  from factory stuff or if added over the years.  The four little ones in middle are the ones I personally dont know are correct...... any one have good picture of this apron I can compare it to??? Could also use some good pictures of firewall with nothing on it aswell, there are some holes in it I'm not sure about.

what year and do you want nos, i might have a one not sure of the glue or stickiness
