This was "ready for paint" (e,g, body work and base filler and primer done) almost 2 years ago. So hang in there, they do get done eventually!:smile:

Does anyone know the width of the Shelby stripes? Need to fabricate a stencil to paint stripes on the EXP and can't find this info in poking about on the web....

How do they apply? Just glue, or with tabs as the '67 deluxe?

Major milestone today... ... an maybe ominously on a full moon! :smile: 9 hours for the painter to do this today.... 3 coats color, 3 coats clear... pics show a hint of how it will roll from green w/gold fleck to almost black as the light hits it...

Interesting quotes on the price. If really all original, rust free and needing restoration I would have pegged a fully complete A code at $6k+ easy. Seen pretty rusty/parted out cars go for 1.5-2k depending on parts. Has to be worth way more, even if as noted a lot will need to be done to it...

No worries, easy tip and the best way I found to fit new (or even old OEM) pads. Looks good! Is the deluxe dash new? Looks that way, is it the drake version or an OEM style with just stick on vinyl over the bases?

That was the point, giving you contact info.. :wink:

Depends on the fit. Put in place and see, mark and cut to suit, as the tags do vary in location.

Python Restorations (Stewart ?, never did get his last name in all the emails). Its a hybrid set, 68 deluxe with 69 Shelby centers. minor tweak most would not notice, but I like the 69 emblem better. It will not have IRS, hand making a one off or buying one of the off-the-shelf was a cost I...

And a custom veneer interior under way..

Had these made up in addition to the OEM style comfort weave cutom TMI interior.

Think I've posted a few comments on the current project car here. For anyone interested, a thread on a local Aussie site showing the progress... http://www.mustangtech.com.au/Forums/viewtopic/t=3744/start=75.html

I believe the engine cross member should be semi-gloss black. Not sure why you would repaint the tie rods shown in cast blast black??? Or are you talking about the idler arm that mounts to the frame on the passenger side? If so cast blast to match the rest would be fine...

VIN is not necessarily related to build date, but the order date. Batches of cars were put thru production to keep similar cars on the line to ease production. So the VIN was never sequentially aligned to build dates. As the GTCS was a bit different many did go thru in nearly sequential...

Monterey and the aquarium on the bay are a nice stop. While Cannery Row has gone way tourist, still a beautiful place on the bay. The Asilomar coastline is a nice stretch to drive and stop and check out the coastline too.. While Big Sur is remote, in the summer the road is packed so its not...

Ivy gold/saddle interior as in the link ... http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=FL13&ID=r103&Order=alphabetical&feature=&collection=&grouping=&category=Cars

Anyone know if that is an original option? No expert, but thought the saddle was more overall tan/brown, the few I have seen are more like this... And any assistance on locating the little bar to hold the pull handle screws? I guess I can mock it up, place the panles and fiddle around...

Interesting interior on the first one. Ivy gold converted to parchment seats/doors? Or is it some other OEM combo, never seen it before... Great price on the blue one, top dollar, but the costs to restore it to that level had to be high. Very well done.

happy to help.... :wink:
