Side scoop reinforcement?
« on: February 10, 2019, 10:34:54 AM »
Here is a picture of the side scoop on #602 built 12-02-67, I had not seen the reinforcement on the driver side scoop. I am wondering if this was done on early cars or if this was part of a early repair.

I thought some of the Shelby guys here would know this.

Its just a different style of scoop. Not sure it can be classified as "early/late" as I remember some owners reporting one of each on either side of their cars.

My car has two with the 'reinforcement' and is a Jan built G.T.500.

Hope this helps.
