To the OP,

   The quoted links above shows what not to use for your 1969 Shelby, please be careful in your choices. Listen to folks like Coralsnake and J Speegle, as they both have actual, hands on experience documenting and restoring these cars

Feel free to look through this album on my original floors in my 70 GT350 vert. It appears a poster here keeps trying to direct you to non original and incorrect repo foreign metal. As many others here have said take the time to use original Ford 69 floors or know how to modify the dynacorns(lots of work) to make them look correct. I highly recommend taking coralsnake up on his offer. https://www.flickr.com/photos/shelbymann1970/albums/72177720313614915/with/49339189097

Unfortunately, we had to do this off site, because there are people here with their own agendas. It's okay you will get good information.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I kindly ask if you have photos of the '69 Mustang convertible, showing the entire body and its details. I want to restore it correctly to 100%. Obviously, it will never be like a perfectly preserved model, but I want to get as close as possible. In fact, all the parts I was missing have been purchased as originals. Little by little, we will bring it back to life because it deserves it

 A special thank you to Coral Snake and Stephen Becker for helping me find the best solution to restore my Shelby.
