In my limited experience 3003 H14 aluminum is pretty good for bodywork. I
have made scoops, etc, with it. For more experience I would recommend the
seminars and videos by Kent White (www.tinmantech.com) who has restored some
of the best Ferraris and Porsches in vintage racing. I have a short article
on such in an upcoming issue of VRJ.
As for the Shelbys, the last six 1966 GT-350s were convertibles with
automatics. They were given away to people who had helped Shelby or retained
for internal use. In 1968 Shelby convertibles were sold alongside the
fastbacks, but of course these were not made by Shelby themselves, but by the
A.O. Smith company. The 1969-70 models were available in convertible form as
well.

Hi Guys, Can anybody offer any advice for fabricating ally door skins to
replace steel originals. I'm thinking the same thickness in ally but don't
know what alloys or hardness is appropriate. I've never done this so any
advice beyond "go to a pro" would be welcomed.
Secondly, a friend just drove off in one of Shelby's museum cars here in
Vegas which was a GT350 Convertible. It didn't dawn on me until he was
leaving that I'd never seen a convertible GT350,so lest I look like an
idiot in front of him does anybody know anything about it? I know it's
authentic because he works for Shelby. We've been friends ever since he blew
the doors off my 66 E-Type coupe on the way to work one morning. What is a
supercharger anyway and why is it on an innocent looking Mustang? Bye, Steve
(I know what supercharging is!)
