Wow, very nice. I'm doing a fastback, but not as far along as you are. By the looks of the black door in one photo it looks like it may be a replacement. Mind if I ask where you got it?

Default Question

Novice on Shelby's, so...

I've read the fiberglass hood, etc. were not great quality on the originals. Do you have the original fiberglass, hood, etc... If so, how's the quality compared to new re-pops?

PS: Nice work.

the quality is decent, however the fitment like all FG parts is not the best. Ive spent some time making it better. On my personal car (67 shelby) I spent a LOT of time and got the fitment almost perfect.
