Nothing beats a 68 grill without the fog lights. The best! 👌👌
I'm hearing that alot!
I’m with you I don’t like the Eleanore either, I’ve grown to appreciate the more stock look.
For sure!
When I saw the frontal hood scoop on the Shelby 68, I knew I had to make my own
The best-looking nose is the 67 Shelby with the inboard headlights
Completely agree.
Of course, opinions are subjective, but for me, the 1968 Shelby front end is the one! Not crazy about the fog lights though.
I like the way the headlights are recessed on the 67 better but they both look great.
67 Shelby...great choice
Love that look…
I just bought your document. Thank you!
That's awesome. Thank ya!
I gave my thoughts before I watched the whole video. I don't like the 68 Shelby hood for the same reason you mention, but I also don't like the hood scoop either. But there is a hood as I mentioned in my first comment that doesn't require the fiberglass nose section.
Thank you for this information. You really save me a lot of time, and I learn a lot from you. Your presentation is beautiful and interesting…
God bless you brother. Greetings to you from Dubai
Your brother Omar😊
Hey Omar! That is great to hear. Thank you for the message, so encouraging!
I think the 1967 Shelby front on a lowered car would look menacing and a real beaut!
Absolutely!
Gonna look sharp either way! I lean more towards a bullit style grille with 67 Shelby hood that doesn’t require the nose piece but that’s me! 🤷🏻♂️ Good luck and God bless sir!
That’d be less money as well… I’m still in the decision phase. Trying to figure out the cost verses the return.
If you watch some of the documentaries about Carrol Shelby and the Shelby Mustang with the GT lights in the center for 1967 they had problems with radiator not getting enough air movement and the cars ran hotter. So they moved the lights out to ends of the grill to allow more air movement through the radiator.
That is a really cool fact. I can see that .
Yes, the inboard headlights caused the issue you mention, as well as, some states didn't allow what Shelby called the inboard headlights on the early 67 Shelby's.
Subjective, do not expect any kind of consensus. Here are a couple of comments on this video. Note I own a 68 Coupe.
1. 68 Front End: My 68 Coupe looks nothing like what you presented. What you have presented is a base bone 68.
A. Bumperets: The bumperets shown on the 67 are also on my 68. Love this feature.
B. Fog Lights: I have Fog Lights that are separated on each side of the Pony in the corral. Love this feature.
C. Hood: My hood has turn signal indicators, this was not on every 68. Love this feature.
2. 68 Hood: To get the Air Scoops on the hood you need to sacrifice the turn signal indicators. I'm NOT willing to do that.
3. 67/68 Front End Turn Signals: Turn signals are located directly below the headlights. In the video you were wondering if the lights adjacent headlights were turn signals? They are not, I don't know what they are, again, the turn signals are directly below the head lights.
Summary - I like your direction because you are building what pleases you, that is exactly what each one of us need to do. I believe what you may have missed is that Ford produces several different levels of Mustangs in 68 (and every year). My Mustang is Sprint that contains lots of cool stuff not included on base models produced that year. If you are interested I can provide you with a link that shows all the different levels produced in 68 which will show the trim levels associated with each, but yeah, not as straight forward as you presented.
Super great info! Yeah probably not an exhaustive study of all the possible options but generally I was comparing the over all front noses. Thank you!
@@ScottHarness1 I'm no expert, I thought the video was great but I just wanted to add comment. I think you did a great job producing the content.
Pastor Scott, because I had a 67 Shelby GT350, I'd go with the 68 style grill, and I'd get a 67 Shelby fiberglass hood that's shortened to fit a Mustang without having to buy the Shelby nose piece that's extended a few inches longer than a stock Mustang.
I enjoyed watching your video, 67 Shelby all the way baby. I owned 2 non Shelbys at earlier years ,beautiful cars. Wish I still had them. Good luck and enjoy.
Truth!
I think your choice is best .Iv'e never liked those Eleanor's, some people are always wanting to make classic cars look different just because they can , I'm generally not into what Chip Foose thinks looks good , for example , when he was doing his version of a '70 Cuda , he felt that the sharp angle of the drip rail on the C pillar needed to be smoothed out the same as on a Challenger , the sharp angle is what gives the Cuda it own distinctive look , and I prefer it. He also felt that the front wheels needed to be moved forward for aesthetics, I never thought that was needed.
I agree completely.
The 1967 / 68 Fastback GT is the Greatest Mustang.
Agreed
Good info. Probably better from a viewers perspective to reduce your screen space and enlarge the vehicle's space. Also, pls don't crop the car description...ie. "1968 Shelby C_______"?
Pastor Scott, the 67 Shelby doesn't have a front valance. The whole nose is one piece of fiberglass that extends the front a few inches longer than a stock Mustang. Edit: No, I don't like the Eleanor look at all.
I’ve always loved the look of that front end, but using fiberglass components freaks me out. I’ve just seen so many with cracks and spider webs in the paint, that I wouldn’t want to sign up for that on my car.
This is my first… I hope that’s not the case but I have heard horror stories.
Cherie Martin is my neighbor and she shares your Mustang videos all the time. Was wondering if we could connect. I have a 68 Mustang Cpe
Hey Robert, Cherie is awesome! I am slammed for the next three or four weeks trying to get caught up on this channel and other church things. Let's make time just after! Blessings to you my friend.
What is an “Eleanor” I thought that was just a movie thing?
It is but it’s also a body type…
I too hate the Elenore goofy looking kit car
Agreed.
Eleanor was cool. But it’s overdone now.
Completely agree.
