How do you install the screens in the fender air vents and the side air scoops?

Epoxy from the back side of the fenders and inside of the scoops when they are off.

Thank you, is there no way to do it with them on the car ?

These must be mounted repro parts because the factory parts are made with them in place. Sure there is a a way but just not the best way. Make sure the inside of the scoops are blacked out first. You have to get enough epoxy behind there so that you can pull the mesh into the epoxy enough and hold in place in the desired position with a wire or something until the epoxy sets. All without smearing epoxy on the outside painted surface.

Thanks again, I?m new at the Shelby models. I lost a great friend last March and his widow made his 69 GT 500 available to me for sale. She didn?t think it had ever been wrecked but those screens are missing.  Thanks again for your help.

A couple of pictures that have been posted before in other threads/discussions.  Product is similar/same as what was used on the vent screens at the hood openings that got the screen.  Pictures of those are visible in another thread sor use search to find them
