So, we are checking in again on the restoration of 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang, SFM6S933.
Just in case you haven't been following along, this Shelby is being restored by Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration for one of our customers. The gorgeous Sapphire Blue has been applied, and the car is ready for assembly.
As it goes together, we wanted to share some pictures in this post showing the incredible detail on several items including the steering box, disc brake proportioning valve, interior, and underside.
Please take the time to read the captions under each image for more information.
