skymnky721 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) My gosh,,Im stuck on these late 60's Ford cars recently,,here I took the AMT Shelby GT500 kit and did a drag version,,additions not included in kit : Headrests,,seatbelts,,rollbar,,drag slicks,, cragar mags,,,opened up rear wheel wells,,drag headers instead of stock exhaust,,lower radiator hose,,decals from leftovers from my stash. Rattle can sprayed W/ Testors Mystic emerald green. Hand painted 2 tone interior w/custom mixed paints. Hand painted window trim{s} w/custom mixed paints. Dremmel cut+ removed engine bay wheel wells. {so drag headers would clear} I did have to dremmel the top of gearbox down to get interior bucket to lay level so the entire assembly w/body on chassis was level,,but other than that it went together well. It will make a nice addition to the shelf display next to the Lawton stang. Wishing all a happy spring and hope its warming up where you are!

vamach1 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Very cool retro look. There were many Shelby’s drag raced in the 60’s by lesser known names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Nice work. The 68 Shelby looks great as a drag car. The green tones are cool, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
