However, the early GT-350s and GT-500 were pure business on the street and track!, not prissy wallflowers at all.
In 1968 Shelby production was moved to a factory atmosphere in Ionia Michigan, the parts were more civilised and quality was much better.
There is no excuse for that kind of fit and finish on a car like this now a days. Back then most cars had that kind of crappy fit..worse if built by an independant. But today there is now excuse especially for the price this thing will be going for.

I absolutly agree with you, with all the modern technology and plastics, and the amazing fasteners that are available, even a do it yourselfer can have factory looking results with not much trouble.
I would have expected a neater job from Shelby for what that car costs!
