The most T5´s were built for germany but who knows what happend to this one.

ok now we need a pic of a GT350 and GT500 that is correct

So you would say the judging rules will be more picky in the next years that cars with a wrong looking finish etc. will loose points?

Now I think we got it all together so this thread will help people in the future.

Painting Process @ Ford
1. Primer was an Epoxy Enamel Primer in red
2. Paint on the Car was Acrylic Enamel
3. Blackout for engine bay was Acrylic Enamel

this thread went out very good I would say.

Thanks, thanks, thanks I learned a bit arround the painting process at ford, but at the end it will never 100% clear how the mixture of chemicals for the paint and primer was. But to make sure

was the original undercarriage and engine bay paint now acrylic enamel or alkyd enamel

Undercarriage paint/primer was an epoxy primer sealer/paint according to Ford documents.reference.

So the undercarriage paint was different to the engine bay paint? What did they used for the engine bay? When they had the bare body what were the steps they did to paint it? And which type of colour did they used? Thanks Kent

Yes that what I thought so it would be a correct part but not date/time correct.

was the original undercarriage and engine bay paint now acrylic enamel or alkyd enamel

But for a 67 it would be not right or? With the C8ar case.

I think this paint thing will drive me crazy so was it now acrylic enamel or alkyd enamel? Becuase there are both answers here in the thread and we know there is a difference between acryl and alkyd.

Oh for the drying process I have a booth here and everything I need I only want to be sure to have the right paint, I think I need to mix a little bit and paint some metal and then hold it on a original engine bay from a 67/68 mustang here. What paint are you guys using for your restorations to get it concours?

Was it now acrylic or alkyd enamel? Because I read both in this thread and its a difference between both.

do you have a link to the rug-s?

I´m looking for a 67 Midland Booster and a SMB-K Steering Box for a 67 Shelby anybody wan to sell me something? Thanks...

Thank you all for the nice answers, that help me a lot. And you cant buy that paint anymore in the usa? Here I can buy enamel polyurethan paint with hardener and reducer and mix it so that would be good? Or was it not a pu enamel paint what Ford used was it acrylic enamel?

I think some people also would say a shelby is a modded mustang and they would prefer a "normal" Fastback or coupe whatever, a resto-mod is a empty body with new parts from summit etc. What I want to do is to make a correct restoration or build with some upgrades on the original parts. I have a big stock of so many fomoco original parts from 67/68 and I love them all I think I know what the difference between scott drake and fomoco is and I love to take old original parts and to rebuild them also if the same part in new would cost me only 5$

Again I only want to build it right like factory did it and if it was enamel I will get here in germany. I found some sellers of enamel paint the only question is it a 1 component or 2 component paint so do I need hardener or was it really out of a big canister and sprayed on the cars.
