66 Shelby's restoration

  Hi ! To begin, this car was bought in France, on an auction, in 1997. Some signs of age were visible, but the car seemed authentic and in good running order.
Unfortunately, the dismantling revealed that the body was out of shape, and I saw many signs of bad repairs (welding spots). This Shelby had probably undergone a crash during a race, with rear impact and turn(s) over.
In these circunstances, it was necessary to begin large and interesting works.
