The description provided above is as you would expect (base on who it came from) inadequate and hastily copied from the fakebook market place post.

Actually, Michael Irvine is fairly well known for his automotive artwork.

Irving's "toolbox" series is not limited to Shelbys. In fact much of his art covers most manufacturers offerings.

A friend sent this to me as he knows my interest in Shelby. I wasn't aware of a Shelby toolbox and thought it was worth posting here. I don't own any and was not interested in purchasing this one.

One item to mention. The potmetal is not very conductive. If you are painting it, its probably going to create more issues

Agree.

After applying paint make sure to roll up some sand paper and clean out the light socket holes. Apply a liberal amount of dielectric grease to ALL pieces when reassembling.

The GTH is a limited edition and has a CSM tag just like the real ones 1965 through 1967

You have taken the first step to your recovery by acknowledging the "REAL ONES" were built 65-67. ALL OTHERS are FORDS whether it came from Detroit or has its final modifications in Las Vegas all have FORD VINs and were warranted through Ford dealers.
BTW The csm numbers are useless there is no reference such as a SAAC registry for these Mustangs that SA modified. BTW they were shipped as complete Mustang GTs and SA sold the take off parts. In the past SA had the clout to get Ford to assemble the chassis as they desired it.
I think it's fraudulent that SA states "manufactured" on that tag. In order for a vehicle to be manufactured by any company it needs to carry a specific 17 digit VIN as prescribed by .gov. Assembled/modified would be a more accurate descriptor.

 You might as well walk up to a window and ask it to break. We've been over this ground time and time again with this individual.

His comments are generally misleading.

Regardless of brand (70% of which are made in the same production facilities these days, then relabeled), you'll want a 2K epoxy primer, not an etch primer (good for spot repair, not suggested for overall) followed by a high build primer once bodywork has been accomplished. Welding, use the etch primer followed by a scuff/sanding, then a 2K epoxy primer on top of this. Do your regular bodywork (fillers and such), finish off with a high build primer, then sand again until you feel the panels are as smooth as you want them to be.

I agree with Bill, an expert in this field.

You would only need to use a phosphoric acid-based metal conditioner if you lived in a swamp (high relative humidity)... so floorada.


Always go with advice from an expert.
