I can't wait until that day comes for me!

Amen Pakrat. I am with you in the back end department. Looks fast when it's parked. Any word on how many 350's are going into production? I should be able to afford one when I'm ...... 85 years old:wheelchair:...give or take a decade. Of course, I will have to sell my house, the coupe, the tools, the dog, the kids, and my soul to the devil to get behind the wheel of one of those wicked toys.

I know from reading various posts on this website (and many others) that I need to be applying POR15 before paint. Apparently this is THE BEST struff to use. Problem is, I am not sure at which point it needs done, or if there is anything really NEED to know before purchasing or applying it?? Never used the stuff, but have heard nothing but good about it.

I am not a fan of vinyl tops either. I do not have photoshop on my computer. I was wondering if someone could possibly take a convertible and add a hardtop with the same body color as the rest of the car. I can roughly imagine how it would look, but I know that the contours of a convertible top, and a coupe roof are different. I believe the rear sail panel/roof area sticks out a bit further than a convertible top. I am not looking for perfection, but a rough idea of what I can expect would be great. FYI.... I am planning to purchase 69 shelby 5 spoke wheels. Any help would be fantabulous. Thanks fellas.

I am thinking about ordering shelby fenders, grille, tail panel (etc.) for my 69 coupe. However, would like to see what it is going to look like before I jump into this. Anyone seen anything like this? Anyone interested in helping me out?

That car looks SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!

69shelbycoupe, It would be great if you could post pics of your build. I have tried to photoshop a shelby coupe, but it just doesn't look right. How far along are you with your build?

Are the repro's plastic or fiberglass? I may just need to do some cutting. Anyone ever constructed a spoiler from scratch? I figured I could build my own with an interior skeleton (reinforced) wrapped in steel or aluminium sheeting of some sort. Much like the way they construct an airplane wing. I want something that is less "attention grabbing" and more subtle. Something that flows well with the body lines and stance of the car. Sure it would be time consuming.... But what ISN'T time consuming when restoring these cars???

Anyone seen a coupe with shelby body parts. I like the coupes, and I like the shelbys. Wondering if anyone has seen a combination of the two??

I am wanting to buy a spoiler for my 69 coupe. I may be alone in my opinion but all the spoilers I have seen look a little too tall (MU, Year one, etc). They look great on the fastbacks but look a little awkward on the coupes. Wondering if anyone has seen a spoiler that has a slightly lower profile or how hard it would be to shorten the vertical arms/pillars to get a sleeker look. I want a car that looks good, and the whole "push-mower" look just doesn't appeal to me.

I am sure you have already done this, but before you go patching it back together, make sure your torque boxes don't need any attention. Mine looked great on the outside, but the insides were not even close to usable. The previous owner did a good job masking the outsides with a rattle can. This area seems to be a consistant problem for these old stangs.

I am assuming you are referring to the toe board and torque box. ?? I recently replaced both on my 69.

What is the advantage of using a fuel tank sump??
