It's going to be a driver for sure.
Ok I could do more assembly correct detailing, the front suspension and steering are MOOG parts and they don't come with the correct color, rivets, stamps... bud the quality is much more better than some correct style parts.
The car was some where in France sitting in a garage collecting dust since mid / late 80's, it has been used for regularity rally's.
It was well equipped with extra lights on the front.
Inside there was a non original console with a lot of switches, trip masters and CB radio.
It has definitely been used and abused.
The interior is still in good shape, it just needs a good clean up.
The only thing that I have to change is the carpet and dash pad, not that is was cracked, bud they drilled holes in it for a trip-master and reading light.
It was Claude Dubois who knew about this Shelby, from time to time he comes over to visit my shop to follow up this project.
Claude was a successful race driver in the 60-70, and exclusive dealer for Shelby, DeTomaso, AC,...
He competed Le Mans in 1967 with SFM5R539 
This is a nice interview with him about that car.

Bud I think you all know aboud that...

Hello,
Thanks for the reply's.
I'm going to give the Dupont number to my paint shop maybe they can reproduce the paint.
I also think a light grey paint with a flatting argent will be better than primer.
The rougher surface can I obtain by putting less solvent in the paint and take a bigger nozzle and paint with low air-pressure

Here some pictures of the project so far.
Now the engine has been taken apart.
Still a lot of work to do.

Hello, I'm new on this forum.
I'm Miguel
I have a Ivy green '66 GT350. I'm doing a complete restoration on this car and I have a question.

The car is original equipped with the painted 14 inch Motor Rim Magnum 500 wheels.
I like to repaint the wheels like in the picture that I found in the book by GREY Kolasa  "the definitive Shelby Mustang guide 1965-1970"
Where can I find the exact color code for these wheels?
Or does anybody know the color code to paint these wheels ?

Best Regards Miguel
