Just the Details...1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 Resto 6S933- Update 5/2/2020

[Bob Gaines]

Bob, no worries, I didn't take it wrong at all.  I appreciate all the comments and that is why I am on here to learn more about the cars and processes. 

I know the restorer has taken great pains to "create" overspray and it seemed to me that just letting the overspray occur as it would have in the same manner as Ford did would have been much easier and less expensive.  There are many ways to the same end but from what I have learned is production line really wasn't created but allowed happen.  In some other restoration brands like Corvette, they actually deduct for cars that are too good.  I wasn't sure how this was judged when it came to Shelby.

Thanks,
Greg

It can be hard to create the overspray the original way when not using the same assemblyline equipment that the factory used . The guns are quite different and so are the volume levels. The same goes for the materials used. There is more to it then just letting overspray occur . If that was the case it would be easy not hard. That is if trying to replicate the way it looked on the cars from the factory. There are deductions when the overspray is missing or the patterns wrong. Too good in the context as it pertains to the concours judging that the various Mustang venues recognize means that the factory procedures that appear sloppy to some are missing and are grounds for deductions.

Thank you for the comments!

Finally posted an update on the restoration of 6S933. It's pretty much finished except for putting some miles on it.

Its debut will be at SAAC-44 in Pittsburgh in July.

Here is a link to kind of the "wrap up" post of the restoration of 1966 GT350 SFM6S933.

Kudos to Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration for the absolute stunning restoration. The owner from NY who commissioned the restoration sold the car to another customer from here in Virginia. Click on the picture or link to see more pictures.
