MY friend and I just returned from Florida trailering a Shelby that was in a storage container since 1989. The Shelby # is 3472.  The restoration started in 87' but didn't get far with it. I'm sure we will have several questions moving forward with the project.

Congrats Ron and welcome to the SAAC forum.  You'll find there is an unlimited supply of answers to your Shelby questions, if you just ask.  In fact, the member who commented right before me, Coralsnake, provided an amazing resource for '68 owners.  You might want to make that one of your regular resources.
