Better Photos - '66 Mineral Grey Shelby Clone

Is that the ford paint color "mineral grey"? It looks lighter than the 99-03s I see, but it is hard to tell just from photos. I have been wanting that color combo on mine since about 1992, I'm afraid to do it now due to Eleanwhore and all that though. Damn it looks good though!

mmm that looks so nice. Great work on the body panels if you did it. They mate up perfectly. Sweet lines

So if I may inquire, what did that set ya back? Trying to decide how best to handle a repaint myself this year.

I helped with the alignment, but the body shop did most of the work. The fiberglass panels were alot of work. The job cost 4K total - all the work (I did all of the stripping).
 
Minda .....

where are ya located? What shop did you have do the work? I am in Cumberland Virginia just the other side of Goochland. i have a 68 coupe that i need primed and painted, i am in the middle of a hugh resto mod. Would love to get together one day and ride a round, we have a bunch of mustang where i live and we are all good friends.

Car looks great!! can't wait to see it all done!

Good Job

Thought id bring this thread back to life and ask if you have any updated pics

Nope, not much progress. I am awaiting the return of my rack after modifying it for headers. I plan on installing the wiring in the next 2 weeks as well.

Taking my time due to shoulder surgery and instability at work.....afraid to spend the cash right now.
 
Fiberglass hood

how much work was the hood? what did you have to do to get it aligned right? i am thinking of getting a new hood, front apron and a new paint job after this summer...

I bought the hood from the Mustang Ranch. Dimensionally, it was a great fit. It is also of very high quality. The only problem I had was a slight bow in the rear. We fixed that by installing hood bumpers in the cowl lip, which looks very neat and clean after paint/finishing. There are detailed photos of the fix on my photo site.
