Check out our last Blog Post about '66 Shelby # 6S933.  The restoration is being performed by Jeremy Turner at Maple Hill Restoration.  This Shelby is super nice, straight, and complete, so the restoration will be a bit easier than others.

Today, we will look at some component restoration.  As mentioned, everything is nice as you can see in the pictures.  The unique Shelby Export Brace, shock tower caps (with washers), Monte Carlo bar, outer shock tower covers, fan shroud, sway bar, traction bars and brackets, rear leaf springs, etc. were prepped and cleaned for refinishing.

Front Fender is back together on the 1966 Shelby Barn Find project.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

Our "clean up" of our 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 "barn find" project is wrapping up.  The front end sheet metal is back in place.  The original interior and carpet has been re-installed.  An original style H-Pipe has been fabricated to mate with the old 1980's NOS Ford exhaust system that was just taking up space.  We thought this car would be a perfect home for this system.

The Shelby will go to our "old school" alignment guy this week to get everything adjusted properly on the suspension.  Then the "shake down" will occur...hopefully with no major issues.  We can't wait to get this car back on the road again!

Stay tuned for the next update!
