Cut out the rear tail light panel and trial fit the new panel, decklid, and end caps which needed a lot of work:










Tried on the new front end pieces which actually fit pretty well:

Got the new parts fitted pretty well and went on to spraying on primer:












Finally got to the point of getting paint on. I think it was over 100* at this time.

Started getting the car back together:












It was kind of a pain figuring out how the headlight buckets and stuff went together. The things should come with some instructions and at least have some holes predrilled in the buckets. LOL

The hood pin brackets were a pain too. Got the hood opening mesh on.






Stuck the lace with lettering on.




Got the interior back together and installed the window net. Tracked a lot of dust into the car. LOL




Got the stripe on.

Added some lettering. Needs the engine in there to get the front end down.















I think my brother did a pretty good job with the body and paint especially in the ridiculous heat. We're definitely not up to a Rusty Gillis skill level though. One of these days we'll get the engine back together and into the car. Don't want to do something like this again, at least for a long time. LOL

Car looks great!!! My uncle turned his 68 mustang into 68 Shelby, then to a 67 Shelby. So I know how much work it is. We had a 70 GT500 showcar back in the 80's, Love the 69 and 70 Shelby's!! Good luck when you get it back out there!

Thanks. Isn't that '67 the red one? That car is super nice.
