    I have attached a pic of a custom fiberglass Shelby
    taillight section (includes the light buckets).

    My question is, I would like to find this (or something
    very similar to it) in metal.

    Does anybody have a lead for something like this?

    Cant help you find a metal one but here's a picture of that fiberglass one installed on a car that I saw in FL back in January. Looked great, factory.

    I'm in the process of doing the very same thing to one of my cars right now. I don't have everything fitted in yet but I will actually have the panel molded to the body when I am finished. I did have to do quite a bit of trimming on the fiberglas piece to get the fit I wanted. I also had to cut the entire raised portion out of the original panel to get the fiberglas one to fit up flush. Here's a recent pic.

    I believe that they were all fiberglass from '67-'70.
    I have never seen a metal one.

    Well, that's what I started out to do. But then I saw the
    whole kit and kaboodle on the back of a Mav and now
    there's no going back. :)
