martinfan5 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Got some more done on this one Some work on the chassis Started working on the interior, flocking is done and here is what I am doing to lower it, you can see how much I cut off on the rear springs, and removed part of the mounting tabs for the front axle and stripped the chrome off the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I know this CBP has pretty much came to a stop, but I a going to do one, since someone is doing the build I am about to start, might as well do it in here, up next is the 65 Shelby GT 350R , I have already started getting the mold lines removed, I have a few plans, some I am not sure of yet. I want to put a NASCAR ford engine in it, change the wheels and tires, color unsure yet. I will get pics up when my new camera gets here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Starting this one , my plans for it is to swap motors, I a going to use a NASCAR Ford engine , I want to some Shelby seats from one of the newer Revell Mustangs kits, and do a wheel/tire change, I have had some sets of XS tunning wheels that I have not had anything to use them on, but they are the perfect size for this one. Color, I am think white with blue stripes Getting the body ready for paint chassis getting painted and interior and here are the seats that I am thinking of using the only problem is the head rest makes them to tall , so to solve that problem, cut of the head rest, and fill the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eajonesgue Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This sounds like a great idea to honour a great contributor to sports cars. This fits very well with the theme of the upcoming Kingston Modelrama contest in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on May 5 - "Rembering Carroll Shelby". Most contests have a collection category - five or more models with a single theme. I've entered a few, "5 convertible sports cars that I will never be allowed to own" and recently a "Mustangs - Then and Now" collection. This last collection consisted of 6 Mustangs, in three pairs, with each pair being an older ('60's) version and a more modern version ('06 to '08). For the Kingston show I want to enter a diorama/collection of 6 Shelby cars with the same idea - an older version and a modern version. I already have 4 of them built: Shelby Cobra 427 - built out of the box The modern companion - Shelby Series 1 - also built out of the box with the same paint as the Cobra 427 For the second pair, the older version is the GT350R that raced at 1967 LeMans - lots of body and interior modifications and the modern companion is a 2008 GT500 street legal car made to look like a racer The final pair I started about a month ago - GT500KR's from the 1968 AMT kit and the 2008 Revell kit. They've both been painted with the same Testors Ferrari red and Alclad dull aluminum stripes. I'll post the final versions once I've completed the last pair.

TooOld Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That's a cool idea building the old and new versions . They all look excellent ! Personally I like the original versions better .
