I thought I would share a pic of how carefully the Shelby boys cut the metal for the 1/4 windows :: ::
I am thinking a hand grenade would have done a cleaner job. ::

Thank you, Scott, that actually makes me feel better about the cowl replacement job I just did

From the looks of it, I'd have to guess an air chisel?

Funny, I had always heard that they were hatchet jobs but wow, that is surprising.

As I fought with all the fiberglass work I did, trying to get things to line up and fit. I decided to check out the Shelbys for fit and finish, just to see if I was getting anywhere close to what it should be.
After looking some pretty nice cars at various shows... I discovered that fit and finish in that area wasn't a particular priority to Shelby either.....felt much better about what I had done. ::

Well the good thing is after you understand how they "assembled" stuff it is pretty easy. IE; screw/rivet angles etc. No special tools for them
