We have started the restoration of 6S033 and should have rather regular updates on our Blog with a lot of pictures. I'll post here when I post a new update. The car is now on the rotisserie and has been stripped. Check on more here

Brant - what panel is the one date (I believe this is the latest sheet metal date stamp on 6S033. It is June 21, 1965.) on?
Thanks - just adding to my tracking ;)

Jeff,
That latest date of 6 21 is on the LH Front Fender Apron.
There is a 6 20 stamping on one of the inner rear wheel housings, but that 6 21 is the latest date that I saw on any of the sheet metal. Oh, by the way, one of the hood hinges has a 6 21 date too.
-
On the front lip of the where the upper and lower cowl come together in the engine bay is usually a date stamp in the middle. It would normally get covered by the self-leveling sealer. I've found that date to be one of the latest sheet metal dates on other cars I've restored.

Thanks, Charles. I'll have to check this area. As long as it is not covered by the export brace reinforcement piece that is welded in that middle area.
-
Didn't think about the export brace reinforcement. I'm guessing it would obscure the area.

I just made another post with quite a few detailed images of 6S033.

Thanks Brand - you appear to be finding what we would expect on that period of San Jose cars.
As usual might be missing a few numbers from the frame area for the fenders (typical)
Did you find the writting on the front cross member or the taillight panel? To name a couple of locations

Jeff,
That's about it on the markings on the body. I did not find anything on the tail light panel area. Here is the radiator support. It is like most I have seen.

Multiple K's are typical in my experiences, along with often a single "D" though the person marking this car (normally one of three) might be the one that placed the D higher - possibly didn't like bending over as much ;)

I just made another post on our Blog with some more geeky detail pictures of the restoration of 6S033.

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a little rust pitting on the bottom to contend with, but looking really nice.

Thanks and yes, that pitting/surface rust stuff came from the previous owner storing the car on more or less a dirt floor for many years.

Brant,
I'm enjoying following this one too! I like the "X" you pointed out (This "X" shows where a factory spot weld was supposed to be applied, but was missed.) Don't remember seeing that too much before but now I found two on my 67!

Noticed in your earlier pics that the sheet metal reinforcing plates for the dual exhaust hangers have a sawtooth edge. I've never seen on other 5 ad 6 cars (have seen maybe a dozen). Is it particular to a manufacturing plant?

These?...not sure, they don't have sawtooth edges. Maybe you saw a picture of something else or another car?
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bHTdAnRGDfQ/UVsHtrkWEJI/AAAAAAAA1Dc/ASxHPvUMCF8/s640/IMG_4465a.JPG)
-
Yes, those. I saved the pic of them on your first post. Then enlarged it and saw the sawtooth. It must be the pixel count showing a distortion on the enlargement.

Guessing this is just the first coat of primer on bare metal? Looks like a great shell to work with. Lots of little putty work for Jeremy! ;D
Thanks for sharing.

Must be nice to be able to work with such a solid accident free car that is almost 50 years old. I had a 66 Shelby I bought 15 years ago and it was wrecked hard in the front and not repaired correctly along with the typical Midwest rust out to the sheet metal. this must have been a very well taken care of car in a arid climate. A car this solid gives you a big advantage of not having to deal with junk TIAWAN sheet metal. This will be a very nice car.

Brant, how did you duplicate the drips in the primer on the undercarriage? It looks spot-on!

they used thinned epoxy primer. it tells how in one of the captions.

Not too far behind this scene, I still need about a minimum 10-20 hours (probably more like 50-100) metal work/prep-time to get remotely close....but pictures give incentive!

I noticed you had the front bumper brackets installed when you priming and painting the car. Did you find evidence of red primer under the front bumper brackets or were they just there to hold the car on the rotiserre

They are there to hold the car on the rotisserie.

I asked this in other locations, but why is the car not painted in the order the factory painted? Primer, first then top coat. Why do the undercarriage last and mask off the whole car?
-
All 3 of my Cyclones (68 and 2 69) Have the same color brown(taupe) on the floor as your car. I custom mixed a color to match. What did you use ?

There are lots of different procedures and mountings on the actual assembly line painting. The goal is to duplicate the original look. Tons of thought was put into that to make it happen. BTW, in the pictures above, the outside body is not even painted yet. More pictures very soon.

Question on the WSW tires: What brand and size are they? They look very good.

Question on the WSW tires: What brand and size are they? They look very good.
Just to clarify for everyone, the thread is about a '66 Carryover GT350, and that's what the engine is going in.
Someone brought up the HiPo coupe too. To answer your question about the tires, they are 194/75 x 14 Kumho Solus KR21. I don't think they are even made anymore. It's getting tough to find a nice looking 14 inch tire...much less one with a whitewall.

You are correct. For the Concours Driven cars, the Kumho's are no longer available. Right now the WSW choices are Uniroyal, Hankook, and Toyo. (Of course in addition to the classic car specialty offerings.)

Thanks for the comments.
I just posted some more pictures on the '66 Shelby restoration. It was interesting discovery to find the quarter window interior trim panels from 6S180 in 6S033!

Thanks for the comments.
I just posted some more pictures on the '66 Shelby restoration. It was interesting discovery to find the quarter window interior trim panels from 6S180 in 6S033!
Have seen this mismatch on other examples. BTW did you find any labeling on the back side of the interior rear quarter trim?
Thanks as always for sharing your progress

Jeff,
I didn't find any labeling on this car, but I have seen other early cars with a file folder type label identifying parts. Chuck Cantwell recalls that they were initially concerned that parts from one car may not fit properly in another car. They soon discovered that this wasn't an issue, and the parts got mixed up but with no problems concerning fit.

I just posted some more pictures of the restoration of 6S033. It's getting there! Since these pictures, it's moving under its own power!
