Part 11 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang Restoration

[@tacovato9023]

The knowledge this man has for these cars is astounding.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Holy smoke Jerry….your Shelby is turning out soooo good! You 100% took it to the right guy - Jason is so knowledgeable. What a fantastic series of videos you are sharing with us too on the restoration - thank you!

[@niosanfrancisco]

I don’t think a restoration could get any better than this with Jason. The guy is a walking encyclopedia of skill ❤Jerry

[@shimshonbendan8730]

This has been a delightful build. Jason is the consummate professional.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

@@shimshonbendan8730 it’s so well done….Jerry is so great at Video & Voicing…Jason is great on Camera and at the top of the craft on restoration. I would love for Jerry to film other stuff with him when the Shelby is done. It sure looks sweet!

[@simonlunt353]

Jason is a man who knows his cars and takes great pride in his work everything is clean and tidy well done sir thank you for these amazing videos 👍😊

[@dfender7492]

It amazes me how much Jason knows about these cars! His wealth of knowledge about Shelbies is unmatched!

[@alfee9411]

Yeah he's a solid database no doubt. I've replayed several videos of this car build and yes I am sure he's the real deal... Amazing encyclopedia vii Shelby!!

[@davidklauer3422]

Love this restoration. Wish I had the talent and the patience

[@them8k396]

I’m from the UK. I am not a big car guy, compared to my brothers and friends. I love watching classic cars, barn finds, being restored. Most shows that I have watched in 15 years claim to ‘restore’ cars but really don’t. I know there’s a big market in the US for muscle cars. But it pains me to see classics with flames, company logos, skulls and bones. Jason is true to the car and has done great work. I hope we get to see more of his work. Love the car!

[@thewriter2549]

I like the originals best, too.

[@brucelaing3898]

I am sooooo impressed with this guy, sooooo knowledgeable

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Very very cool. The Shelby Mustangs are so trick and custom looking. Carroll Shelby really nailed the look in the 60s! This has been a great build and top shelf work!

[@trenawawrzyniak4397]

I can't wait to see the final episode and seeing drive down a street. This guy must be the best go to guy for restoration in the business. ❤

[@shawngansert1973]

It's coming together nicely!!. I still can't wait to see it finally finished.

[@stallionranchwoodworks]

Another great segment! Car is coming along nicely.

[@moparedtn]

*Jerry!* Fantastic - the part of the process where all that early grunt work by Jason starts paying off and the Shelby begins to reacquire all of its' characteristic *bad-assery* ! So cool... - Ed on the Ridge

[@danbailey6751]

I have said this before Jerry, Jason isn't a body man , he's an artist.

[@carsmartsmedia2324]

Guy knows his way around a car. (understatement of the year, I know...)

[@audithisworld24]

Beautiful car. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@johnkaiser8410]

Absolutely beautiful car! Anxiously awaiting every episode, thank you for sharing this with us! My compliments to Jason, he is definitely a master at what he does. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Love the Inboard Fog Lamps and the Wide Taillights on this 1967 Shelby. Was just told Shelby borrowed these from the Cougar line. Congrats on such an Awesome car!

[@markhale8084]

Cougar taillights minus trim.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

@ Yes…also used on the Cougars but originally they borrowed it from the earlier T-Bird I believe.

[@markhale8084]

@ There was a 66 prototype GT350 that used 65 T-bird taillights but all 67 Shelbys used taillights off 67 Cougar. 65 T-bird units were used on 68 as well as 69/70 Shelbys and 68 California Specials. I prefer the slimmer, less ornate 67 Cougar units but full transparency, I do have a bias😉

[@melvinsmiley5295]

@@markhale8084thanks….so the 68 used a T-Bird and not the 67…they look so similar. My error….thanks for the info. This era of cars is just so bad ass!

[@staceymccloud6]

You could watch this a thousand times. We're never gonna own one. Come on lottery !!

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Jerry i was thinking about this build this morning and here you are with a fantastic part 11. Thank you for posting.

[@thewriter2549]

Yeah, I diverted to complete this series.

[@KenPen-fm3ng]

It is almost as if Jason was at the factory putting the originals together!

[@hoedemakerbart]

In the factory it would go a lot faster 😂

[@anthonybianchini5144]

@@hoedemakerbart And there would be an army of people, lol.

[@alfee9411]

Details and knowledge! Jerry you picked a winner all around. Happy for your journey and keep the stories comin.....

[@johnburgess6572]

Brilliant . Step by step by step

[@pofomoco2]

I know I’m 100% an extreme detail guy, but… Holy Smokes the wiring harness restoration on a part no one will ever see again. That level of detail speaks volumes about the expertise Jason puts into a build and to his motivation to get ALL the details right.

[@CharlaRose-o6c]

Great Job, Jerry and Jason, absolutely beautiful car!

[@thesaltysergeant4103]

Cant wait to see you drive it Jerry!!!!

[@87GrandNational]

Great video, Jerry!

[@Rocky-e2b]

[@fdwsr71]

Beautiful

[@r.spencerfink1374]

Awesome!

[@billcarlson1730]

That guy is unbelievable. Will you tell the full cost when you are done Jerry? LOL

[@thewriter2549]

Well, the thing is when I have given dollar numbers, there are so many people that post so and so stole the car and the car is worth like a huge, ridiculous sum.

[@timmiller260]

Nice car

[@Jeremy5speed]

Dear lord I would love to have a car like that!

[@mrgreezy1]

It’s easy to him and It can be done in a few minutes when he does it because he literally knows what every single wire and plug is for 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sure he has a few of these installs under his belt.. most folks aren’t as knowledgeable as this guy.. he’s a walking encyclopedia 🤣🤣🤣

[@pofomoco2]

YES!!!! Woop Woop Let's go gents!

[@buffdoc46]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss Holla Holla Made my night. Thank you

[@vinnievintage7725]

Where were the new wiring harnesses purchased from?

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Built a 67 Shelby clone used a 67 cougar wiring harness with all the extra options and found in a new Ford box the sequential tail light mechanical points like circuit box...

[@timmiller260]

It taken me 2 weeks to get the blinker replace and seat out and replace plug in got painless 10 pin male female connector and new blinker unit😊

[@markhale8084]

Cougar taillights, not T-bird!

[@thewriter2549]

Yeah, I know. You are correct. But, I got to looking and I wonder. Didn't the glass pass down from 1964 T-Bird to 1967 Cougar? Take a look and let me know.

[@markhale8084]

@@thewriter2549 Nope, the Cougar lens don’t have parallel lateral edges, they slightly converge toward outside end AND come to a slight point whereas 65 T-bird lens are very rectangular (with rounded corners). The Cougar lenses also have a peak down center of lens (with those odd flat spots) while T-bird lenses are pretty flat.

[@thewriter2549]

​@@markhale8084 Oh, so the Cougar taillight lenses are unique and differ from the Thunderbird lenses. And Shelby used the 1967 Cougar lenses, but not the grated covers. The 1964-66 Thunderbird taillights are the same?

[@markhale8084]

@@thewriter2549 Yes Jerry on the Cougar taillights sans the grates that were placed over lenses on the Cougar (making the installation on the 67 Shelbys so much more attractive….IM not so HO). As far as the T-bird goes, I don’t think there is complete interchange between the taillights found on the 64-66 “Flair Birds” as I have heard some call them. For one, the 66 has a lens that runs across the entire rear panel so that is unique. The 64 and 65s aren’t represented as interchangeable in my books…and when folks are looking for replacements for their 68-70 Shelbys, I always see reference to the 65 taillights not from a 64 so I assume there is some difference there too. BTW, really been enjoying all your videos on the 67 GT500…I also really enjoyed the one in the garage where the 67 GT350 with Paxton was being “unboxed.” Great stuff and hope to see this red GT500 at next summer’s SAAC at Sears Point!

[@josephkwapich6113]

Is it going to be a MCACN this year?

[@thewriter2549]

No, but that would be fun. I've been to the show 4-5 times. Getting the car t Chicago from Texas and back would be expensive.

[@hoedemakerbart]

He knows his stuff. I know restorations are all about details. But i don't like the yellow over spray om the steering box

[@bobbaker9545]

Hard to believe those tail light bezels are not "chromed" from the Factory? I have seen many Shelbys but do not remember if they were chrome or not...but I know u have the Best Man in Jason..Just seems Ford went "el cheapo" on that part.???

[@jasonwhite6254]

Yeah 67 was just brush aluminum when ford took it over in 68 they used the t bird lamps with chrome bezel

[@pofomoco2]

@@jasonwhite6254 so many unique components/parts and 1967 year specific details that make these Shelby’s so special! A series like this,with so many details in the narrative, will help more than you will ever know. Well done Jason and Jerry!

Thank you very much.
