11/2/2005 Jon, The 69-70 Bumpers were made specifically for Shelbys. I have heard of a few of "borrowed parts". 65-66 Shelby, Racing Lap Belts off 63-64 Galaxie 67 Shelby Headlamp buckets off 60 Galaxie 69-70 Shelby Convertible Roll Bar Clips off Samsonite Luggage 68 Shelby Tail Lamp Housings off 65 T-Birds 67 Shelby Shoulder Strap Retractors off Fighter Jets ?? rumor Please add to this running list. It should be very interesting ! Pete Geisler _www.OrlandoMustang.com_ (http://www.OrlandoMustang.com) 407 688 1966 Im curious. Does anyone know what car the 69-70 Shelby (front) chrome bumbers come off of? They look somewhat like the AMC bumbers. jon
Thanks Pete - I will add to this list. The 69-70 grill mesh itself is made from a BBQ pit mesh. All you have to do is take a BBQ Mesh (must be the old kind where the mesh has the same shape and style as the Shelby grill) and bend/cut them to the original specs or just copy an original. There is nothing special about the mesh besides being able to cook ribs, chicken and hotdogs on them...Im hungry now. jon Quoting ORLMUST@aol.com: - - 11/2/2005 - - Jon, - The 69-70 Bumpers were made specifically for Shelbys.

Hmmmmm. With a 1969 GT-500 and that good old 428CJ in summer heat, one could tape a steak to the inside front of the grille and have dinner when you arrive at the car show. Neat. Very interesting thread.
