There is a good thread on concoursmustang.com that details the restoration of the Shelby and GT-CS tail light panels. Marty

The mice chewed up the original grey wiring on my Lucas fog lamps. Does anyone have a extra one or two to sell? Thanks Marty

Yes he is Murf. I love that car and the hidden mods that give better MPGs and comfort. I think my next project may take that path. Marty the Concours guy.

Welcome to the HCS family. It will be exciting to watch your restoration. Is your car in the HCS registry? If not you should contact Bob Teets on this site. He runs the HCS registry and is very helpful with any thing to do with the HCS. Where did you get the decals? If they are orignials you are...

They say the apple never falls far from the tree. I would have expected nothing less knowing you both. Congrats TJ! life is waiting for you. Marty

Happy Birthday hope it was a good one!

Way to go. Good looking ride! Marty

Agreed! Marty

I really do not think posting pictures out of any book here is a copy right infringment? No one is publishing them or profiting from them.

It is my opinion that evey posible lead should be followed to a end so Curtis I think we should get all the information possible from the data base. Here is a couple of ideas of what may have happened with the debut cars. I think some of the hand built cars were pulled from factory invantory as...

That is a honor to be given that spot. Way to go.

Interesting discusion. I do not belive that there was a early tail light panel but poor quility fiberglass work or inconsistant instaltion as Scott pointed out above would explain some of these odd panels. The same tail light panels were used on Shelbys for months preceding the GT-CS. It could...

I would choose the HCS and I have one, but I realy like the GT-CS stripe and quarter script. Marty

Happy Birthday Tom hope it was a good one Marty

Here is are a couple of pictures of the HCS built 7-16-68 the filler cap seems to be resessed a bit. We may find this inconsistancy maybe completely random. The holes in the HCS tail light panel were rough cut, I do not have any good close pictures. My dads GT-CS is disassembled I will get some...

Arlie I was wondering why the panels need to be removed. I see. Scott that makes some sence and will be easy to check. I look at mine tomorrow.

Arlie do you think there is a difference in the metal tail light panel or are you thinking there may be damage?

Rob some very exact measuerments especialy around the filler hole would be great I wish we could get a shot with a digital imager. Marty

Scott, That is the line of thinking that I have been on. I know for a fact that the early fiberglass work had a lot of defects. I think poor quility parts may be a better explation of why some aparent early cars had the deep panel and others did not. I wonder if some Shelbys can be found with...

Good luck Neil, Hope all gos well and the 4-70 AC works for you. Marty
