SAAC-38


If you are in the Southern California area, you may want to check out the Shelby American Automobile Club's 38th annual national convention, SAAC-38.  It will be held at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA on July 4-6.

The best place to keep up with all things Shelby is SAAC's online forum - www.saacforum.com.

We hope to have some pictures from SAAC-38 right here on our Blog next week.

We have a few more pictures of our 1966 Shelby Mustang project.  In case you are new to our Blog, this is a very early "carrover" GT350 - SFM6S033.

Today, we have some pictures of the car being removed from the rotisserie and put on the "roll around".  It's now time to fit the doors, fenders and hood (again!) and do the final outside body work.  We also have some pictures of the original fiberglass hood being stripped of paint and primer.

1966 Carryover GT350 Mustang SFM6S033

Today we have a few more images of our '66 Shelby restoration project at Maple Hill Restoration.

It's about ready to come down off of the rotisserie.  The under side of the car is pretty much completed.  These photos show the drips on the floor pans that were duplicated with thinned epoxy primer.  These drips were originally on the floor pan ridges when the car was built.

Hopefully, you have been following our Blog about the restoration of Jeremy Turner's (Maple Hill Restoration) '65 Mustang Twilight Turquoise Convertible.

Today we have some images that Jeremy gave us of the engine installation.  The stock appearing, but "tweaked" 6 cylinder is backed by a rare 4 speed Dagenham transmission.  This transmission was a rare option for the 6 cylinder Mustangs in 1965 and 1966.

New Part! 64 1/2 Mustang Tail Light Body with FoMoCo Stamping

1964 1/2 Mustang Tail Light Body with the correct FoMoCo Stamping and Wiring Pigtail Plugs.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

Joining our plain (but correctly plated) ER-66 65-66 Mustang Tail Lamp Body and our FoMoCo stamped Tail Light Body (ER-6611) is this great new reproduction.  It's the 64 1/2 Mustang style Tail Light Body.

The 1964 1/2 Mustangs used a sealed end socket with wires and bullet connectors.  The LH side has the correct green with orange stripe wires and the RH side has the correct orange with blue stripe wire.  Our part numbers are ER-6612L and ER-6612R.

You can use these tail light bodies with our ER-55 Tail Light Harness - they will plug right in.
