My 67 Shelby updates

Ken I like it, looks like a clean install

Ken, that looks nice!
I have a question about your Shelby - Are you using the factory piece between the trunk and the passenger compartment, it looks like you may have changed it to an aluminum panel?
I think it's required when using an aftermarket fuel tank in the trunk?
I haven't gotten to my interior yet but I wasn't sure if I should use the stock pieces or build one out of aluminum.

Thanks Yankee, the carpet is what makes it look clean. The aluminum does not have to be perfect and I'm far from being a good fabricator.

Mike, The panel in the back is factory and I think NHRA would be ok with it as long as it does not open like the way it came from the factory. If its fasten, I think your good to go. With that said, I do have another barrier made out of aluminum. its more to the trunk side.

Good job Ken, I never realized that there was that much room in the back of my 67 Mustang. Looks real nice. Claude

Here is my seat compliance update. I have installed a my "identical in appearance" seat. Now if only I could get my engine finished I could try out my new safety features.
