post-11522-0-78195400-1401937124_thumb.jStarted this 67 Shelby a few days ago and will be doing some mild custom work on her. I did not like the tires that came with the kit so I have found a set that I like for this build. Will also be installing a Super Charged Coyote engine & will have to do some slight modification to the back half to accommodate the tires & updated rear differential and suspension.

It's the reissue of the AMT.

The only issue I have found so far is the fitment of the front clip which will need some work to get it to fit correct.I also would like to be able to get the Eleanor rims for this build so if anyone knows where I can score some please let me know otherwise I will stick with the Torq Thrusters.

Started modifying the rear back half yesterday evening to accommodate the rear tires & have a mock up of the motor with the super charger painted with alclad chrome & the engine painted aluminum & the transmission painted magnesium then cleared.

Some progress today on the Shelby which was removing both front grills & fitting the replacement grill, attaching the front clip to the body & smoothing the front clip to the body & getting the 4 link ready for the rear suspension & the valve covers in primer which I think I will decal wrap in carbon fiber or maybe paint them the same color as the body which I'm not sure of the color yet but have a good idea what it maybe and also have the seats in primer also.post-11522-0-67707000-1402287485_thumb.jpost-11522-0-18300300-1402287452_thumb.jpost-11522-0-08926700-1402287527_thumb.jpost-11522-0-03199800-1402287562_thumb.j

Here are a few mock up pictures.

I have been working on smoothing out the rear half of the undercarriage where I have cut out part of the frame and I have shorten the width of the gas tank also so I will have room to add new frame rails for the four link. My next step will be adding the new frame rails & to close in the rear wheel wells and to figure out what height I want the rear suspension to be at.
