Some assembly required! Lol
Getting closer, needs final buff then over to another shop for front and rear windows and headliner. After that it’s back to my garage for the rest of the interior and drive train.

My Mustang / Shelby is finally back home but still in the trailer. While waiting 20 months for the paint and body work to be finished my garage accumulated a lot more stuff and the car won’t fit inside. I’m working on getting it cleaned up and setting up some room for the final assembly

Looks great, Mike.
Question: How are you keeping the paint from cracking on the nose piece? I know they're somewhat flexible. On newer stuff, they have a flex additive for the paint on flimsy pieces, but they have to be installed within a certain amount of time. If too long, the paint can crack from the flexing during install.

[mike7570]

I hope it doesn’t crack ! The front nose is stiffer than you would think, the only flexible area is just above the bumper that makes up the lower part of the upper grill opening. I believe the hood will flex more than the front nose piece. I have had 3 cars with fiberglass hoods (one original Shelby) and I didn’t  have any premature cracking in the paint on them. It may appear down the road as the car ages but the fiberglass is all new.
I may ask the paint shop next time I see them to find out what they think.

Out in the sun wearing trailer tires, time to get busy putting it together.

NO DECALS (Lol) other than the GT500 stripes. The NHRA decal can be placed on the door window with the car number and class designation.
Should I use solid white numbers or blue outlined or some sort of fade?
