lordorion1974 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I want to build a white with blue stripe Shelby, but I can't find blue stripes for it. If anyone has a spare set, or know what kit has them, or even if you can point me towards a website where I can get them, I'd appreciate it. My google-fu and bing-fu aren't coming up with anything. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fomocomav Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Use the stripes from a 1966 or 1965 kit. They are the same on the lower door/rocker panel, but the G.T. 350 part is just moved a bit between a 1966 and a 1967. You will need 2 sheets to address this different placement and length differences, as the 1967 was longer. Also, from all of my reading, NO 1967 SHELBY GT 350s LEFT THE FACTORY WITH THE Le Mans STRIPES. These were a dealer installed option, with apparently NO input from Shelby whatsoever. Go to the link below, open it up and used Ctrl+F in the browser and type in stripes and the first match will help explain this: https://www.diyford.com/shelby-mustang-history-1967-gt350-gt500-longer-shelby/ 1966 placement: 1967 placement: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FXDgmmvQerA/U16zzcLOARI/AAAAAAAABfE/9K8v6laZBPg/s1600/1967+Ford+Mustang+GT350+SHELBY+Re-Production+1.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Keith Marks should be able to make this same set in blue. Email him for more info at mofobow@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordorion1974 Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Wow, thanks for the feedback! Fomocomav, I read that entire article and found the whole history of the development of the '67 to be fascinating, especially with all of the design pitfalls. Lots of great reference photos too, much appreciated. vamach1, thanks for the email link, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fomocomav Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Glad I could help. I have that set that vamach1 told you to look into, and if he is still in business, he CAN make them in blue, as that is the color I have. I've had it for years now, and can't let it go. I only bought what I had kits and plans for. But any of the 1966 blue sets will work for you. Unfortunately, even if the 1967 kit came in blue, the door stripes aren't usable because of how thick the stripes and letter is. AMT has some amazing decal sheets coming out lately, but the 1967 Shelby kit decals are not among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
