1965-70 Mustang Rear Frame Rail Crush Tubes
 |
| The crush tubes that fit inside the 1965-70 Mustang Rear Frame Rails are now available. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
We now have the crush tubes that weld inside of the Mustang rear frame rails. These were originally installed in the rear frame rails of 65-70 Mustangs equipped with the factory dual exhaust. They provided extra strength at the holes where the rear exhaust hangers are mounted.
Our part number is SM-1031. They are sold as a pair.

Just the Details...1966 Shelby Restoration 6S033

Today, we have some more pictures of our 1966 GT350 Mustang Shelby Restoration. If you missed our last post about the car now being in epoxy primer, you can check it out here.
Here are some detail shots of various areas. We also have photos posted on our Facebook Page.
 |
| The 1966 Shelby on the rotisserie and in epoxy primer. Here is an earlier shot showing the front frame rail support being straightened. We definitely wanted to save the original. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
 |
| Here is the one of the original rails after being straightened. These rails are almost always dented from someone using this point to jack up the Mustang. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
 |
| This area in the transmission tunnel was taped off. It is a patch of the original paint. Here we are showing the paint that was chosen to match the original color. It is a strange pinkish brown color. I've seen this shade on late '65's and early '66's. The underside color is usually a bit darker on later '66 Shelbys. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
 |
| This is a close up shot of the date stamp on the seat riser pan. It's June 17th. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |

 |
| This photo shows a hole that was blown through the cowl when the export brace reinforcement was welded on at Ford. This area will be eventually covered in sealer like it was originally. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |

 |
| Here you can see the original holes for the tach wiring and bracket mounting that were cut in the dash at Shelby American. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
 |
| We were lucky enough to have a very nice area of original paint. We saved this and will use it to match the original Wimbledon White paint. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |

Just the Details...1966 Shelby Restoration 6S033
 |
| Our 1966 GT350 Mustang Shelby Restoration project is now in epoxy primer. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
As you may have read in our last post, the '66 GT350 Mustang project is now in epoxy primer. We used the popular PPG DP epoxy primer. The gray color was used on the body, and black was used in the engine compartment area and dash. The color for the underside was mixed to be fairly close to the original underside color with the darker red being used under the front frame rails and the interior panels.
The choice of colors is really not important, because the bodywork now needs to be completed. It looks nice though! Even the underside of the car will eventually receive a topcoat of paint matched to the original colors along with the associated overspray.

Just the Details...1966 Shelby Restoration 6S033

It's been a while since we had a post about our 1966 Carryover GT350 Mustang Shelby. If you have been reading, it's 6S033 (the 33rd '66). It is one of the '66's with the rear package tray (no rear seat). You can read more about the "Carryover" Shelbys at www.CarryoverGT350.com.
We are excited to share some pictures from the project again. We will have more to share this week, but we will start with these "geeky" detail pictures.
Number 33 has now been glass beaded and is in epoxy primer (more on that later). Before the epoxy primer was applied to the entire car though, Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration (www.MapleHillResto.com) applied the primer to the cracks, crevices, and insides of the clean frame rails. A small spray gun was used in this process, and the whole project was a bit of a mess. The result though is fantastic. Check out the photos and stay tuned for more!
