That is terrific. I am so glad that you will have the opportunity to debut that awesome looking car, at the end of the this summer. I am actually kind of jealous. Wish that I could be there. I will be in spirit.

That's beautiful Neil!!! wonderful work! Gold interior would never be my first choice but it plays very well on the black exterior with gold stripe. Shelby rims looking sharp as always! Love that it has headrests! but most of all, I love those recessed reflectors!!! wish Doug had had those!!

Thanks for the kind words.
I'm now in the process of replacing the P/S pump. Never had one of those fail before.
I actually prefer the Cougar type reflectors on the rear quarters, but the recessed ones are OK.
I'll soon be posting photos of the FINISHED car, and then start prepping it for the MCA show this summer.

Neil,
Where did you buy all the nuts and bolts for your engine compartment including the fender
bolts and hood latch to make it look all new?

To be concourse correct the trunk lid bolts are body color, but I use the cad plated bolts same as fender bolts.
