    Should the tailite frames on early 67 Shelby be polished or left dull?
    Thanks

    On my Concours gold award winning 67 GT 350 (#0036), they have a high polish. No points off for that.

    1967 Shelby taillight lens frames were dull from the factory. However, I
    had mine polished, then clearcoated before assembly. Since this was a
    top notch restoration project, I think it added a lot to the appearance
    of the rear of the car. Just a personal thing. shlby66

    I'd like to see what they look like polished - does anyone have a good picture they could post?

    thanks

    Sounds like the polished version is the way to go. I think I will leave mine dull for now as that is how they came delivered new.
