    Hello, my name is Abel and this is my first post on the SAAC forum. I am helping my boss restore his 1970 GT500 Shelby Cobra Fastback. We are looking at the availability of parts for the restoration and immediately we came upon a part that is not in stock....the side decals. I have spoken to Terry over a Tony D. Branda and they only have one set which are an actual original(not reproductions) set of decals but are missing the rear quarter panels but they won't sell as they want to keep for future reference of the material qualities. Terry was giving me an option of going with a reproduction that is in "royal" blue and not the original "reflective" blue. I know that is not an option for my boss as he wants as close to original reproductions. Terry then mentioned that the reflective blue is possible but it is problem is that they cannot make an investment on a roll of the original reflective blue because its in the realm of around $3000 dollars.

    So out of that roll 5-6 kits are possible and a group buy came to the table as an idea. Toney Branda would be willing to make a small production run is if we can get 4 or more in a "group buy" interested in pre-ordering these GT500 reflective blue reproductions. The ball park cost is between $400-$600 per set and of course details are to follow on exact cost per set.

    For the time being I wanted to get the ball rolling to see if anyone is interested and specific numbers are being figured out.

    Keep in mind that all of the reproduction decals are Carroll Shelby license and concours correct.
