So - I've previously built a '68 Charger, and just finished a '89 R32 GTR Skyline.

So I figured I'd go a little more custom than just paint...

Anyway - here:

Shelby GT 350 Motor.
R34 GTR Skyline wheels painted black.
Dumped.
Disc brakes front and rear.
Shaved body.
Modern Bucket seats in the classic interior - made slightly modern by colouring.


That's it so far - now progress pics:


After laying paint on the body.
Shaved the locks, handles, etc.
Shelby hood and grille.

Pretty much how the R34 wheels sit on the Mustang - now they're gloss black with disc brakes behind them.
No steering detail due to the fact I had to cut up the front end to get it this low.

So she's engine bay, exterior and interior detail only.
Worth it though - she's one of my Dream cars - and I'm building her how I'd like her to look. (yes.. the '34 GTR wheels I want on a Mustang..)

More pics to come.

ill be watching this one very close

[IronMunkie]

More piccies.


Interior now, it's Semi Gloss black for all the leather/vinyl.
It has Metal grey trim in the sides as well as the bucket seats - but it doesn't stand out enough in photos.

The Bucket seats are R34 GTR seats, Matte Black to simulate Fabric.


My gauges - Shelby spec.


Disc brakes.
R34 wheels.
Whatcha's think?


The donk - thinking about wiring it up - I'd like to give it a shot.
So we'll see.

Those wheels look awesome on this mustang

[crazyjim]

I'll wait to see the finished build. I normally don't care for painted wheels, but we'll see.

[Intmd8r]

I like it

[IronMunkie]

Ok - so I think I ended up going pro touring on it.

Sticking with my Satin Silver look with the gloss wheels.

Engine and interior are in - but I buggered up the RHD rear Shelby window - good thing all the mistakes are on the right hand side - because she's a Left hand display model anyway.

:-D

Pics soon - just gotta shoot the front and rear panels as well as the hood, put some wiring in the engine bay and we're all good for a display model.

Right now - I gotta mow the lawn.
lol.

[IronMunkie]

UPDATE.

So - the wheels are on, engine and interior are in, front and back are done, just gotta finish the under side detail (making a low profile K-Frame for it so it doesn't look retarded.
Basically she's pretty much done, just needs final engine details, wiring and cables, etc - gotta get some super fine wire for all of that - going to make a whole loom then just glue it in.

Pics:


Waiting for engine bay goodies.

How's that for rake?
Disc brakes, gloss black wheels, and bog stock body. :-D

Gauges are painted. :-D

loooooooooowwww - everything is tucked up and the engine has been raised by 2mm on the engine mounts so the GT350 sump clears the ground with a K-frame (soon to be) under it.

Bucket seats.

Gotta add parkers and indicators to her.

Then she's done.


Hope you guys like it, she's not perfect - but I made some sacrifices to get her where she is.


Next project:

Yes, that is a '69 GTX that is being shaved and smoothed out.
And yes - that is the beginnings of a full custom sub frame to get her to sit about 4-5 mm off the ground.

Pro Touring baby. With some deeeeeep dish.

[hgbben]

You have an under carriage pic? Kinda like to see how the frame turned out with mods to make the wheels fit.

[IronMunkie]

hahaha - the under carriage looks like ###### - I just want to clean up the front with a K-frame - just for pete's sake.

The rear wheels are cut up so they fit over the rear leaf springs - which are mounted in the stock position, but have the ends cut off so they sit lower.. which is still pretty high - lol.


I'll grab one for you anyway.

In the mean time while I wait for stuff to appear from no where to wire up the engine bay - I've started work on my '69 Pro touring GTX.
