Title: 67 shelby fibergalss mat types used
Post by: cbrown on June 20, 2020, 09:16:12 PM
I would like to know were there 2 different styles of fiberglass mat used on the backside of the hoods and trunk lids?  To be more specific  the chopped style mat that is woven and then the almost wire screen style mat.

Yes , sometimes chopped fiberglass around the edges of steel inner structure. I missed Tulsa too.
