The undercarriage can be a work of art or a forgotten
place on the car. Don't you hate to look under a Concours car and
everything is painted "Black" or spayed with thick "Undercoat".

A lot of time, several rags and lots of mineral
spirits (safety - wear gloves) will help you unveil many interesting
things that are often hidden by the passing years and gunk off the road.
My car is an original Lime Gold and had worn a red coat since the late
70's. As is evidenced in the picture I reveal such things as the
Lime Gold overspray and the black pinch weld paint and not
to leave out the remnants of the red oxide primer. |

Red Oxide primer applied - a picture
is worth 1000 words!! |
 |
The rear leaf springs are taken apart and
stripped of all grease. Primed and painted with cast blast paint.
The paint markings found were yellow and a blue/green strip. |
 |
The small leaf spring should have this C7ZA AR
stamped in them. If you order from Eaton Springs give them this
number, for 67 GT500's. I have the small leaf spring re-arched and
use it with the new springs. |

If your 1967 Shelby doesn't have these things
located under the front of the rear leaf springs - then you need to
check the authenticity of your car - serious!!! These rubber
bumpers are obsolete and the aftermarket doesn't even come close.
Primed and painted with cast blast and bolts are phosphate. |

Ever lost points for not having the correct
exhaust clamps - well here is what the real ones look like. |
|
 |
Rear tie downs are painted black and bolts are
phosphate. |
