This so awesome to watch! We actually see the whole process, unlike tv’s produced “restoration “ shows where it’s a bunch of fluff. Thanks for taking us along Jerry

Hey Jerry iam glad you chose to document this restore instead of just showing the finished product and i was wondering what happened to this car love to see all about these shelbys as we dont see these here in australia amazing to see what shelby did in the 60s cant wait for tghe updates👍👍👍

[@waynemiracle8928]

This is awesome Jerry! I really like seeing the details of disassembly and assembly. So many restoration videos just rush through the process leaving out the details. I love watching these videos to learn and to improve my mechanical skills. This is very exciting to me. This fellow is a real hustler. He did more in one day than it would take me an entire week to accomplish! My hat is off to him!

[@thewriter2549]

I like the details, too. The R & R of the rear quarters was a surprise to me.

[@gordonclark7632]

I never thought i would enjoy watching someone remove nuts and bolts. I am watching from Australia and to see and hear the knowledge of the restorer (sorry I don't know his name) is amazing.

[@thewriter2549]

Thanks, Australia has many car enthusiasts. I've been to car shows there.

[@johnshaft5613]

The restorer was very patient doing all this with the owner/camera looking over his shoulder. Speaks well of him in several ways. A lot of mechanics would not tolerate that.

[@thewriter2549]

So it might seem or might be. However, in writing and photographing easily more than 500 how-to magazine articles with mechanics, all of them were willing to explain and be in the story.

[@riccocool]

A normal customer gets told our insurance won't allow you in the shop. Sorry. Because most owners tell the professional how he is doing it wrong.

[@fxrs1982]

This is incredible. Thank you for sharing this process. I'm going to binge watch all of it today. I geek out on the process of a proper restoration. I love all the small details like nut and bolt markings and finishes.

[@terryeustice5399]

Mr White is a perfectionist. Thank you for sharing! ❤️💯

He moves from one task to another throughout the day without hesitation and gets work done. He pulled both the rear quarters, which you will see, in less than 2 hours.

I am surprised that this gentleman is working under the car, using power tools, etc., and is not wearing safety glasses for eye protection. Our vision is priceless.

[@289hipo]

Worked 22yrs as a tech on everything from lawnmowers to block loaders and 92,500lb capacity forklifts. I wear glasses anyway, but ear and foot protection yeah.

[@wirefeed3419]

@@289hipoHe may make it to the end with out an eye injury, it is guaranteed going as he is he will have hearing loss, time will tell to what extent. I didn’t take the best care of my hearing, I have been very lucky and I am so grateful to have very good hearing in my sixty’s. I got a piece of metal in my eye came through the side of my glasses. The piece had to be removed with an optical File. Not a fun thing at all. It really is just dumb to choose to not protect your eyes, ears, and lungs. They are the things that allow us to enjoy the beautiful things in our lives.

[@AndysDogHouse]

Hey Jerry. Great find. Yeah, the trouble with buying a started restored car is finding all of the parts. I know you buy parts, but it is nice to have the original. Thanks for sharing. I'll be following. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁

[@thewriter2549]

Yes, the parts have been the major issue. I need a stock 1967 dash pad in good condition. Does anybody have one? It could come off any 1967 Mustang - coupe, convertible or fastback. I also need a 1967 trunk mat. Used would be fine. I would like to make this car as original as possible. I also need five 1966 or 1967 Ford steel rims measuring 15 x 6. I still need the dual four intake and dual fours carburetors and oval air cleaner.

I watched (and commented) on the the finding of this car... I am constantly amazed at all the various "worlds" out there that the average person knows little about. The Shelby world is fascinating, to say the least, and it is impressive to watch people who know every little intricate detail - from the numbers stamped on the shock bodies to the specific number of holes drilled in the battery box. Amazing... 'can't wait to see what engine you choose to go into this car -
