Thinking of doing a shelby clone, anybodys advise? price? best fitting parts? how much of a pain? also has anybody installed oem type quarters on 67 fastback? how did they fit? I figure if I clone I wont be tearing up a good fastback. I like the 68 shelby the best. I have a good dry body, except some one screwed up quarters, new ford tooling fenders, 389 posi 9inch, 428 cj with edelbrock heads, roller rockers etc. est. 500 hp. c6 auto built. car is completely stripped to bare metal. This forum is great information. Thanks again:SNSign:

If you can afford original tooling quarters then go for it. They fit like OEM and are the best. If you cant afford OEM then your stuck with repro's and they dont fit as well and you probably have to trim and cut.

Just one mans opinion, but if it's a 67 and you want to do a Shelby clone, I think you should keep it all 67 and not mix with 68. If you ever decide to sell the car, potential buyers might look at you a little sideways and take a pass if you know what I mean. That said, I know most of us don't build cars with resale in mind, but is something to consider.

from what I have been able to put together it seems that the Tony Branda pieces are top notch-made in Canada and vacuum formed for a better fit. There is a new rear shelby light setup from Mustang project that allows the look without cutting up the sheet metal. I do not see any way around 2800-3000 dollars for the glass pieces and assorted shelby items. I wouild agree in keeping it a 67. chuck

I found the NPD sheetmetal parts to be of a much higher quality (metal thickness, stamping accuracy, etc.) than most others...
