The ones on that page for the 68 Shelby are what I bought and what are being used on the KR. I don't know what bracket arangement Shelby is using on the radiator core support as the latch pin falls about 1.5 or so forward of the adjustable rubber bumper, near the front edge of the core support. I would imagine they fabbed a bracket to fit there and bolted to the core support. We are using the 68 bracket and fabing something to fit.
Anyway, sweet car, keep up the good work.

Will do as soon as I return home for a few days. Be home Wed.
If anyone doing a GT500 front facia on a GT wants an aluminum GT500 hood complete with the louvers let me know. Its sitting at my body shop. If you are local to the Houston area I'll make a deal.

Nice. Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it. One last question, though... the catch plates, are those the actual 68 plates? If so, sweet. If not, it's good to see where you did it, so I can do that. Awesomeness, man.

Well I finally dropped off my hood today. A friend is doing the body work and he said he will be finished tomorrow. Paint will happen this week. So I will post pics soon.
I had such a terrible time getting this done because the original painter I was using held on to my parts forever, and when I got them back all the edges were missing paint. Very shotty. I only found out after I unwrapped all the parts. When I called him to tell him they needed touched up, it turns out his is literally mentally unstable and off his medication, and there was no reasoning with him to get the parts fixed. So I dropped off the parts today with the hood and hopefully in a few days I will have everything on the car.
