Here are pictures of the 67 GT350 we are working on.  Built 05/02/67.

Wow! Thanks for posting. I've never seen that much overspray but I have seen that almost Rustoleum red primer color before.

The white seems to be under the rear Shelby bumper pads. Interesting.

Not a out of the ordinary amount of overspray on a white car . There were varying amounts . Typically on restorations restorers tend to go on the light side of the overspray spectrum. Often times too little.   I tell restorers, If a Ford painter was getting good coverage on the rockers (remember they were raised up on a trolley cart) there is going to be a large amount of body color overspray on the bottom side floor pan given the type of assemblyline gun and the volume they put out.

Painter got low and those period spray guns flowed allot during the day so lots of overspray and indirect spray. Add to that the fact that its white - a very high contrasting color as has been mentioned

Not surprising that white would show on such a car under where the rear end bumpers would later be installed - both the San Jose installed and the much later Shelby added

I'm sure the pressure they ran had a lot to do with it, hence the move to LP guns. Was the undercarriage sprayed first with the reddish-brown primer, before the body color?
Waitin' for the day I get my first '70 Shelby convertible!

All primer sprayed before body color.
