Part 2: 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Restoration "Sheetmetal is the car. The body is everything." 

Thar part number is on the money this guy is a one of a kind restorer

He is extremely knowledgeable and obviously a perfectionist. That being said, I can’t believe the leaking air fitting isn’t driving him insane!!

@@trainnerd3029I came here to say the same thing!! Good lord!

I'm glad I saw this guy's workmanship before I started my fastback. You are a true inspiration to this passion of fastbacks!.. Keep up the great work and videos. You rock bro!

Hey Bill, thanks for weighing in on this.

Drives me nuts too!

Amen! I hope someone bought this guy a new air chuck for Christmas! Great video series otherwise! He is very knowledgeable!

Hi John how are you doing 😊

Same here, I didn't know either, so I just kept videoing the process.

no way. the discover CH WOULD NOT show what is shown here.

Shows made for TV are all about personalities. This content is best suited as it is. Directed right at the enthusiast.

Hi Michael how are you doing 😊

Yes, thanks Ed. I agree 100%. I can't wait to show the car done. We lack installing the 428 & transmission and that's about it.

@@thewriter2549 Hi Jerry. A friend of mine has 5 camaros 1967 race care mixed emotions 2 1967 street 1968 street 1969 street 2009 street He also has a 71 cuttles And 1965 Chevelle race car mixef emotion He restored all but the 09 himself. Someone needs to document his collection. If you or you can recommend someone please let me know.

@@thewriter2549 He has had 5 of the cars 30 yeaars or longer and did most the work himself

Thanks, we have a lot to upload.

Same here, when Dan called me about this Shelby that he found I thought for sure it would not be a '67, the model year I wanted, but it was. And then when we were looking up the car's spec's in the Shelby Registry I thought this car just might be the color that I wanted, red, and it was a T-code for Candyapple Red. So, I developed a positive mindset and I might even get to buy this car, which I did. And now the car is almost restored and I hope everybody following this can get a vicarious thrill of what this is like.

My thinking too. Thanks.

Absolutely, you bring a wealth of knowledge. Maybe you'll locate a barn find and we can go along and do a video. Just remember we need to be there before the car is disturbed.

The car is almost finished. We lack putting in the interior and engine. We need a set of 15 x 6 Ford steel rims. We need a pair of carburetors - the dual four's. My problem is I spend so much time editing the many hours of video. This part 2 took me 3 and a half weeks.

@@thewriter2549 I'll keep my fingers crossed that part 3 doesn't take that long. Really enjoyed this near hour of footage.

I know. That Rare Finds column that I had from the early 1990's until 2019 that was monthly in 4 different car magazines, added up to easily over 800 barn finds. This restoration turned out to be fun. We're almost done. I think Jason restores a car faster than I can edit video. Car restoration is widely misunderstood, but I don't know if people are receptive to the truth.

I have many hours of video to edit into about a half dozen more parts.

We need more videos! After watching every second of this series so far I'm too invested! Thank you for such a fine job!

Hey thanks Donald, the restoration has been a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Jason actually restores faster than I edit hours of video.

Thanks for recognizing the work Jason has done, including his narration. This is one of my most difficult and time-consuming videos that I have ever produced, literally hundreds of hours invested in this Part 2. I like the outcome, but I have not figured out how to earn enough money to cover expenses, let alone something for my time and work.

More on the way. It just takes me more time to edit video than it does for Jason to restore. The car is done except for 428 engine and transmission installation.

Hi Brian how are you doing 😊

Thank you. I think Ford designed the '67 Shelby to resemble, in profile, a production version of their GT-40 race cars. The lower bodyside stripe is the similar, so is the flip up rear spoiler and front nose.

India?

I have a lot of respect for the talent of good mechanics.
