E St. Kruiser50 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) I built this a few month's ago to try to fool a friend at a local model show. Had a lot of fun with it. This is actually a Ferrari-ized ???? Anyone know? Body was slightly wedge cut to the front. Added carbon fiber covered side air dams with Viper exhaust, carbon fiber racing stripe down the center, carbon Fiber "Gills", and a modified Corvette roof to make it look more Ferrari-ish . A set of Ferrari decals and, Lastly, deep black with lot's of clear, and some buckskin I had custom mixed.

Peter Lombardo Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The real Shelby was called a "Shelby Series One". Very nice build, but I have one question....Both side pipes and a rear exhaust? Which is it? Both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even anybody at the show including my friend there, or anyone else on another forum got that. Pretty cool of you to see that!!

As to the exhaust, tell them that the rears were through mufflers for cruising around town and the side pipes were actually straight throughs with a cut out butterfly valve for "getting it on". We did that a lot in the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
