gjs14 12 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) It would b so cool if you did your car like a 69 Shelby de-Mexico, all you would need is to fab up some roof end caps for the back of the roof. Edited November 16, 2010 by gjs14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would really be cool. I just don't know how I would do it without the vinyl roof. I don't care much for the vinyl roofs on them but the style is different and I guess that's what makes it interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69shelbycoupe 11 Report post Posted November 25, 2010 Well, I've got a little bit more done. The bottom of the hood and trunk are sprayed but no clear on them yet. It's vista blue and I'm going to have the supersnake stripes in tungsten painted on as well. I need to get the d/s rocker and pan welded in still. I gotta take out the front and rear window and fix a dent in the roof and a couple in the d/s rear lower quarter. Hope to have painted by Christmas.
