I don't know if I'll ever get this car back together but pretty pumped that I now know how to remove and replace a inner/outer rocker on a 66 vert. Hopefully everything will line up when I'm done.

That looks nice! Your jig looks great, I'm sure it will all turn out fine

So is your camera date messed up, or have you truly been working on this for the last 3 years (not that there's anything wrong with that).

What's wrong with 3 years, I can top that

Good luck with it, I did mine as well, along with virtually ever other bit of sheet metal on the car and still working at it.

It is the camera. Been working on it for a few months now. But the car is going to be a college graduation gift to my daughter who graduates in 3 years. Hope I'm done by then

Right now - I'm leaning toward Sapphire Blue. It was a 66 shelby color. My daughter wanted powder blue. No way am I gonna painted it a girly color after all this work. We are trying to find a compromise.

How about the 1964-1/2 Mustang Guardsman Blue? I think that is the color Shelby used for the blue stripes on the white 1965 GT350 cars.

Guardsman looks like a nice option also. At the rate I'm going - I think I'll a while before I have to pull the trigger on a color.
