Bucket List Buff - 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR - Detailed by Mike Phillips



I've been asked to restore the original paint on 2 very rare and valuable Shelby Mustangs. Here's pictures of the 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR











I did a quick search on Skynet to see what kind of value this car has and this came up first in the search results.







It's a real honor to be trusted with the original paint on this legendary muscle car from Ford and Carroll Shelby.


I have not decided which products I'll use yet but I've been asked to do both inside, outside and the tops including removing scratches from the flexible plastic back windows.

Mechanical updates and fluid flushes are almost finished for the GT500KR





I’ll tackle the interior first. It’s in the sam condition as the GT350 was in - dirty, dusty and signs of mold.

The GT350 interior took me 8 hours from start to finish.

I documented the cleaning process in this thread.

This weekend is GO- TIME!!!

First the interior - ugh... the interior on the blue GT350 took me 8 hours. Probably take that long for this green Shelby.
