Today, we have some more pictures from the early production 1965 GT350 Shelby restoration project taking place at Maple Hill Restoration. Lots of work goes into to a project like this and Jeremy never disappoints.

In this post, you can check out more parts that are being fitted, painted, and detailed so they will be ready to go when the car is at the reassembly point.

The rear quarter panel parts, along with the original 1965 GT350 package tray were all carefully fitted after repairs. Then they were removed for refinishing.

The original dated (11-64) Koni shocks were also refinished in the proper color and the correct Koni winged shock decals were installed. We just received a new batch of decals, and you can buy them by clicking here.

  1. On the interior vents how did you remove them from the fiberglass and how did you reattach them

  2. Easiest way to do it is to cut the rivet head off on the backside. When reinstalling, you can epoxy them back in.
