Good afternoon all I'm dealing with a problem that I know you all can help me with, my car #0210 has the steel lined rear deck lid that was at some point repaired of some sorts by just using fiberglass strip cloth to bond the fiberglass to the steel lining. It looked very untidy so in the process of cleaning up I removed all the built up fiberglass cloth and revealed the 2 separate pieces. There is rust underneath when removed so I'm cleaning that up but how we're these 2 pieces bonded together and smoothed and blended for the correct finish? Here ia a picture and video to look at for reference. Can you help me out on repair recommendations for concours restored car? Thank you all in advance.

I would get some Hysol structural adhesive and bond the frame to the trunk skin.  After this has cured then I would proceede with the cut strips of fiber glass around the perimeter to give your tunklid the original fabricated look.

Make certain you locate he frame correctly so your trunk catch and latch will have alignment.

Well then, a tutorial on sidewall grinding would be pretty handy.

As would a direct link to the appropriate (IE: correct) lettering and such.

Just saying 

Tire lettering sellers are all over the internet. Do not depend on them to know what you need for a vintage tire. You have to spend the time to do your own research on application wording,size etc.I am not aware of a one click stop.

Here is what I did on our AVONs for 67 GT350.

If you contact TireStickers.com they should still have the digitized file they made off the template I made from a vintage polyglass Goodyear with 3/4" letter.

reference TireSticker order number 313106 placed on December 2, 2022 to help them locate their digitized file.

Not sure how much more it will bring? upwards to $150k?  This is clearly an aged driver, it is a color change and missing complete power steering system & components.  This Shelby would require a full correct restoration to get to $200K or more  I am sure you will see the bidding pop in last 30min.  Could be a great buy for an Shelby enthusiast who wants a fun driver vs a trailer queen!

We sent our calipers to Shelby Parts and Restoration Contact Jesse, Jesse@shelbyparts.com.  They did a fantastic job rebuilding and plating the calipers. 
here are pics from one of my prior posts.

I also received the black insulator when I ordered Temperature Sender - 1965-68 Ford Car
Part #: C6DZ-10884-BCarPart #: C6DZ-10884-B from Dennis Carpenter in Nov 2021.

For the original emblems

GT 350 / GT 500 were flat, chrome and black with pins

GT 500 KR was chrome/ black with raised gold snake no pins

To determine if the original posters emblem is original we will have to measure the size of a known original

Good info that I didn't know.  Thank you Coralsnake!

There are (were) other companies producing these.

The reproduction GT350 and GT500 emblems typically have a raised gold snake which is not correct.

I dont think Drake was getting their supply from ACSCO

The picture of the Cobra Jet emblem in question looks to have the raised snake, (cannot tell if is gold or was gold on snake) when compared to the snake on the pic of the GT500 emblem I posted

I beleive this GT500 emblem is original.  I do not know if the lengths of the factory Cobra Jet to the GT350 or GT500 emblems were different.  Some pics for reference
