Thank you Jeff and Bob as well as all others.

Thank you and yes I understand that there were painted and unpainted components, that is what I'm asking about. Such as my understanding is the dust shield behind the front rotors and rear drums were bare metal on hubcap cars but on kelsey hayes mags they were painted black, is this true? As well as different steering components were painted ,or in color, bare metal?

Hello all as I travel this road of restoring my car I'm having difficulty getting the correct paint colors of my suspension and brake components.  I have read and attempted to view several restoration videos and articles the process seems to only be more clouded with each one I watch and read. I have #210 built 12/10/66. I would deeply appreciate help and more clarity if possible.

I'd like to thank all of you for the info and photos for reference as well. You're correct there are a lot of issues to be resolved in this restoration if to do correct.

Thank you for the help.

Thank you. One question was the reinforcement added after build as my 67 gt500 shock tower reinforcement plates are stitched welded but they are ugly, was this normal? I'm restoring mine and was wondering should I clean the welds up or leave as they might have looked like this from original build?

Looks like holes drilled to access the back side of panels and areas for rust proofing. You will likely find them in other parts of the unibody and door edges


Often these were plugged with small plastic plugs. If your restoring or they bother you make them disappear

My other side has the plastic plugs in them. If doing a concourse restoration should I try to find plastic plugs or fill in the holes.

Hello I need help as I'm restoring an early 67 gt500 and I was wondering what are these 3 holes for in the door jamb of the rear quarter?

Hey all I have an early 67 gt500 that has shock tower reinforcement as 68 and on big blocks came with from ford, should or did shelby weld reinforcement plates in originally?

Thank you Bob.

Good afternoon all I have viewed this forum lots but first of many to come ?s.i have a 67 gt500 #210 that I'm restoring and I'm wanting the correct concours battery for my car. I have the marti report and it does not list heavy duty battery so my question is what's the correct battery and can I even get? From what I know it needs to be an autolite sta-ful 24f, but with yellow top not red top.
Help if you can.
