As I recall itās all painted. This is an absolutely incredible story that will go down and Shelby/Pete Brock lore. With any luck people will be resurrecting this thread for decades to come.
Had my HEP R on track last year⦠but am withdrawing from next monthās scheduled track day⦠mainly because of insane values.
Now I find myself looking at 2012-13 Boss 302s to go hammer around the track.
Still willing to trade for a Lime Gold 1967 GT350 4spd⦠I used to joke about that but at...
I did get her out and even drove her to a PCA event down In Illinois last Sunday! Looks like it will be another week or more before she will get out again, but hot damn it was nice to get back behind the wheel again.
I ran group 3 (of 5) so nothing crazy. Worst thing all day was a 996 911 S blew up and I ended up with some oil sling down the passenger side of the car.

Update to my update⦠called my local Ford dealer to check ETA of the filter I had on ordered with them last fall⦠and they actually got one! Will be picking it up tomorrow.
There is hope!
Update:
Ford parts giant just canceled my order for 2 filters because
