It's not really a project car, but we are still "tweaking" a '65 GT350 Mustang in Jeremy Turner's Maple Hill Restoration shop. This Shelby has been restored since 1985. It was an extremely original car before restoration, and most all of its original parts were retained and re-installed during the restoration. We first did some detailing before SAAC-36 at VIR this past summer, but we still had/have a list of things that we would like to do.
We got a little carried away with our list and ended up freshening the engine also. Anyway, Jeremy is now on track to have it finished for SAAC-37 at Watkins Glen in June.
