Ive had this 65 Mustang fastback since 73. I've been restoring it for the second time and I love Shelbys but their all the same. I don't want blue with white stripes. It was poppy red when I got it but the original color was burgandy. I think the original color only matters if it's still the original paint job. The first time I restored it I painted it candy apple red. (The FOMOCO version, not the real candy paint) This time I want to go back to poppy red with Shelby stripes in white.
I have a pair of 64 T-bird tail lights and I know Shelbys didn't use these lights till 67 but I was thinking of useing them on my 65.
I have a pair of Shelby side scoops but no hood scoop yet
As for wheels I have a set of 69 rally wheels that were also used on the Torino GTs. Two of my hubcaps are the plain Mustang caps and two have the GT emblems. I can remove them and just have two small holes till I find another plain pair.
So what do you think?
Should I build it with the parts I have and just resemble a Shelby?
Should I Try harder to make it look like a real Shelby?
Should I just go with a stock 65 Mustang look?

Here's a picture of one of the tail lights taped in place.
