1967 Mustang coupe Build.

Yeah, light blue doesn’t do much for me, but at this point, I’m a fan of any car that is an actual color. Black, grey, silver, white... I’m over it. My next car will be more dynamic. My daughter’s 66 is going to be a cool new Jeep color that’s kind of a blue/green, depending on the light.

I can certainly appreciate that!

I think we discussed this before Blake, but my POS ex stepfather stumbled across a basket case 1964 1/2 mustang coupe in skylight blue back when they were dirt cheap in the mid-90s. He did a half ass restoration on it and eventually sold it. I’m not a fan of lighter blue colors but for some reason that one grew on me fast.

Yup, the blue/white look is classic for a reason. You planning on quarter panel scoops? That's a 66 thing too, but much more reversible. Maybe less so if you cut the holes to make them functional.

On the more racy front end, I personally prefer the valance that retains the front bumper, but the R model version is cool too.

As long as you have an at least 7,000 rpm solid lifter small block, you’re doing something right.

I’m not opposed to keeping the bumper on this year model, for whatever reason I don’t like them on the 6768’s. I would say before I start yanking the rear frames out I’m assuming I need to brace the body from left to right on the floor between the rocker panels across the car. I would think that would be my main bracing Since all of my other body parts are still gonna be on like the doors in the fenders and whatnot

Your car, and I have no room to talk because I'm the moron with a flame job, but...

Things to know that can effect resale value down the road with those plexi Shelby windows.
- Never offered in a stock 65 GT350 configuration, so that could turn off some folks looking for a 65 Shelby clone.
- While "anything is possible", it is super-difficult to un-do the Shelby windows. You have to carve out the vent mounting metal to put them in.

That said, you may not care about resale or maybe you'll keep it forever or damn the torpedoes that's what you like and fuck it. All of those are acceptable, just making sure you're informed.

Input always appreciated from you guys. But yeah you are right on the plexus glass. I think the overall look is great. But hell. I do like the louvers too. May keep then for a while. If I want a different look I’ll go there. If I decide to just say fuck it and never sell it I’ll go Wild. But this one id like to keep remotely factory looking on the outside. No crazy panels. I do like the more race inspired front bumpers/facias for the lower part of the front. We will see. Wife like the idea of the gt350 look with the blue and white scheme.

I'm the moron that just realized he said acapulco blue instead of silver blue. Getting old and senile I guess...

I love the look of the plexi windows, and am so relieved to hear there will be no Eleanor parts on this one.

Oh yess. Interior is gonna the first thing changed. Lol. I even wanna do different front seats cause cause lol. I think I’m also gonna swap the Louvers on the quarter panels and do the plexiglass kit there. I like the windowed look a little better.

lol, good.

You could certainly go GT350 clone, but it ain't gonna look right with blue/white interior. Shelby offered any interior color you wanted, as long as it was black.

[jtotin]

Hah, yeah! (no Smelleanor parts on this one please)



I can think of at least two other major players (Spectra & Golden Legion), but I believe they work in a similar way to Dynacorn, making some parts themselves, outsourcing others)

lol no, no Eleanor parts. Not on this one

Was thinking of doing a gt350 type exterior.

I vote a separate thread is created with fastback details. I'm glad he got all that practice in on the coupe so that we can see the real build now!

Yeah, I've see the VMF posts and it seems the main complaint on the 67/68 side are the fenders and a few other misc pieces if I'm not mistaken. Not sure how many actual manufacturers there are these days for alternatives though. Aren't most of the NPD and CJ sources dynacorn branded now?

So.... what happens from here?

Badass! There should be a warrant out for your arrest because you stole that sumbitch.



Yes and no. Dynacorn stuff is often as good or better than other options, but it's inconsistent. Dynacorn is essentially a reseller brand. They sell a lot of Taiwan steel that they had nothing to do with making, so it's pretty inconsistent.

Rick, the owner of NPD (who is super cool, btw) has often posted about this sort of thing on the VMF, and if anyone knows, it's him.
