So bro can you order a few parts thru your company from Shelby for my build? If you could paint to match that would be awesome! (of course I would pay...lol)

Grinded down the FORD tailgate panel and grinder the tailgate so I can glue them together.

Applied the panel evenly then added vise grips to hold it tight. Put some bricks on top to keep the center part down. Wipe the excess glue to prevent staining. In the morning it will be done and fully cured. Then I’ll throw a final bead of glue around all the edges to give it that OEM look

Glued the fender vents together as I felt double sided tape would have came apart.

How are these vents attached to the fenders? Will you have to cut into the fenders?
