I have one 1965/67 GT350/500 "DAY ONE" paint restoration package left to sell.

This "DAY ONE" paint package will allow you to accurately duplicate Shelby American's paint process on 1965/67 white/blue stripe GT350/500's.

Us old timers remember the body parts/stripes installed/painted by SAI on 1965/67 GT350/500's looked substantially different from the paint FORD applied to the main body. 

The reason is:
FORD painted the main body using high gloss, baked enamel with an orange peel appearance. 
SAI painted their fiberglass hoods, LeMans stripes, 1965 side stripes, 1966/67 side scoops and 1967 trunk lids, fender caps and taillight panel using acrylic lacquer with a semi gloss appearance. 

This paint is for anyone wanting to do an extremely accurate restoration of a 1965/67 Shelby, 1963/64/65 Comp Cobra or 1965/66 GT40.

$950.00 for one gallon of old school (pre EPA lead ban) Wimbledon White AND one gallon of Guardsman Blue acrylic lacquer.  Plus shipping.

NOTE: The last week of August I will be driving through Carolina, VA, PA, NY & NH (I-81, I-88 & I-91).  If you want to meet along the way, you can save the substantial UPS/FEDEX Hazard Materials shipping surcharge.
