Title: Support brace rear bulkhead 69 shelby convertible
Post by: Pico88 on August 12, 2025, 02:08:09 PM
Hello everyone on the forum.
I'm continuing the restoration of my Shelby convertible and I need your help.
In fact, I'm looking for some photos of a part I can't seem to find — the support brace rear bulkhead.
Can you help me?

I'm referring to the part shown in the link I've attached, but the version for a convertible, not for a fastback.

I'm referring to the rear section, where the drip tray is located, just behind the rear seats

Not sure if these will help or what detail or details your looking for. First example is from a spring Dearborn convertible and the bottom one is a San Jose built convertible

Not sure 70 Dearborn Mustang convertibles are the same so didn't include them

Thank you!
I really need some photos of the part where it goes inside the soft top — basically, the back side of the piece you already sent me photos of. Specifically, the section of that piece as seen from the car's trunk.
Thanks a lot!

How about these, sorry for the angle, I had to hold up the convertible top liner with one hand while taking these last night.

Hi everyone,
I need some extra help with the restoration of my Shelby.
In particular, I'm looking for photos of the hinges attached to the trunk lid and the central part of the floorpan where the shifter comes out.

I'm willing to pay an expert who can provide me with these details and, if possible, help me with all the necessary bodywork information to bring the car back exactly as it left the factory.

I have very skilled panel beaters, but to complete the job in the best possible way we also need your support.
If anyone can help me with these details, please send me a private message.

Thank you very much!
