Shelby GT500 Fiberglass Fitting and Modification
Up Next

Typical Shelby fiberglass does not fit very well. Some of the challenges were hood fitment and gaps. Inner shell of the trunk did not match the outer shell. Fiberglass was generally bad in a lot of areas.

I also decided to block sand and smooth the inside of the Selby scoops, hood and trunk.

The trunk extensions were matched to the body and trunk, then the spoiler was raised 1" higher. A few other little tricks that you might or might not see, such as the front fascia was made symmetrical....
