Does anyone have pictures of a 65 Mustang with a 68 shelby hood? I found a few searching on google but none have been finished, they are all just a gel coat hood thrown on a car so you get an idea of what it looks like. I would like to see what a nice finished version looks like.

I'm assuming your talking about this hood.

I did a quick search and found this. Its the 67 style, which I think looks tons better on 65-66. I don't see any pictures of 68 style on 65-66. Maybe there is a reason for that.





What I wish someone would make is a turn signal hood for 65-66.

Now that I see that 67' style in a finished condition I'm liking it. Does anyone have some good advice on where to get one thats good quality?

I'm glad you like it, I think it really does look better than the 68 style. Sorry, I don't know about the quality of them.

Maier Racing makes a really nice quality hood in this style.

There's one on ebay right now.

I like it for something different on a restomodded car. I think it would look a bit out of place on an otherwise stock-looking car.

It doesn't look all that bad, but the 67 style is so much better.

I took these pics last weekend. I think a 67 or 68 hood would look sweet.

The Mustang was completely redesigned for 67. It was longer and wider, but it did have the same 108-inch wheelbase of its earlier predecessor. The pics are truly gorgeous.
