She's looking good Art !

Hello Everyone, Small update which is that I have finished the exhaust system & I also had to modify the steering linkages and the swaybar that ran underneath the oil pan so the engine would sit in place. I still need to clan up the areas where I have modified the linkages & sway bar which I will do when the glue has cured. Thanks For Looking !

Thank you Art !

Well Everyone, I have finished the scratch built exhaust system which still needs to be cleaned up so now I'm debating on if I should scratch build some exhaust tips which I'm leaning towards doing but I need to research my idea on how I want them to look and to look realistically functional. Thanks For Checking In !

Another Killer Build John ! Can't wait to se this finished !

Daniel the paint is Dupli Color Metalcast which I purchased at O'Reilly's Auto Parts it comes in blue , red and I think purple. The best way to use it is to make sure the part your painting is painted silver first or if it is chrome just spray the Dupli Color over it and I also cleared it after I applied the decal.

Thank you John ! I really appreciate the compliment John ! By the way the Stage Coach is just insanely Bad !

Hello Everyone, I have been busy with life in general so I have not had much bench time on the Shelby build so here is a small update on her. I have the exhaust mocked up & the cross over pipe glued in place and when the glued has cured I will remove the tape & start routing the exhaust pipes and then glue in the mufflers. This is the third time at scratch building the exhaust system so I think I'm finally happy with how its turning out plus I have finished the new shock tower brace which this is also the third one that I have scratch built and I have also scratch built a throttle body to attach to the super charger but I still have a few details I want to add to it before finally assembly of the engine. I hoping to get this build finished in time to show in Pomona Nov 8 which our club The Model Car Guys have put together at the NHRA Museum.

Looking awesome Art !

John, Your just an amazing builder and i'm sure this will be one crazy cool build when finished !

Nice & clean build!

Very Cool Build !

Excellent !

Hello Everyone , I have been on a much needed vacation & now back on the bench when I have the time to work on the Shelby which now I have started the mock up of how the exhaust will run from the headers and then cross flow the pipes into a x then out to the sides in front of the rear wheels. So as soon as I have it completely mocked up which I'm shooting for by the end of the weekend I will post up pictures.

Tim, This build is simply Amazing & the Craftsmanship is just over the Top !!

Hello Everyone, I have finished redoing the shock tower supports ( 3rd Time) & started work on the exhaust system which I just noticed that I will have to install 02 sensors & catalytic converters since the engine is a computer controlled 5.4 with a super charger which all I have to do is use the catalytic converters from the donor Shelby kit that the engine came from & I have something that will replicate the 02 sensors. So now its figuring out where I will incorporate the cats in the exhaust system and the 02 sensors.

Nice work !

Happy Birthday America ! God Bless America The Home of The Free !

Thank You ! JB

Thank You Art !

I was not happy with the way the shock tower support looks so I will be redoing the support for the third time.

Awesome scratch building on the Mustang Body !
