    Looks Awesome !
  2. Well I ran into a road block trying to scratch build a cool air intake which resulted in about 5 hours of bending aluminum rod and plastic rod with no real good results since there is not much room under the hood to route the intake so it looks right. So after playing with some more ideas I think I have the problem licked now and I will post pictures when I have it assembled.
  3. You must have double the Minion's then John ! Awesome craftsmanship
  4. Another Master Piece John !! Awesome !
  5. After getting the engine mocked up in the engine bay I will now attempt to scratch build a cool air intake system for the super charger which will be a tight fit so that will be my next challenge on this build.
  6. Nice start & the valve covers look awesome!
  7. Ok everyone I have been busy the last few weeks & also took a weeks vacation with the wife and we went to Hawaii which was awesome ! So I have finally got some bench time in on the Shelby so here is the update on the build. Finished the back half of the frame but still needs to be premiered , finished the rear axle which is from the 2010 Shelby & was shortened plus I modified the rear suspension links from the 2010 Shelby & added some rear coils from my parts box & scratch built the rear mounts for the coil springs. I also had to modify the front shock perches so the Coyote motor would sit properly in the engine bay, also added a hood scoop to accommodate the super charger and still have some body work to do on the hood scoop. Thanks for looking !
  8. The Stang still looks good for its age !
  9. It's been slow on this build but I have made some progress on the interior. The main color is finally laid down which is a sand color so next will be to detail the dash and the door panels. I will be also laying down some darker flocking for the carpeting & attempting to scratch build some front floor mats.
  10. Awesome build ! What kit is that ?
  11. Some progress today which is that I got the two interior side panels painted but still need detailing and the panel I scratched built to cover the rear seat & center console painted and the valve covers wrapped in carbon fiber. I also found some seats today in my extra parts box that will be installed in the Shelby but they are soaking in some brake fluid to remove the paint then be repainted. I also started some work on the rear frame rails also today to accommodate the four link.
  12. Been working on modifying the 2010 Shelby center console with navigation screen to fit the 67 Shelby & the panel that I have scratch built to replace the back seat. After shooting a coat of primer on the modified center console there still is some work to be done to get it to look right.
  13. Take your time Ben I ended up repainting my Super Bee three times and cleared before I got it right.
  14. A little progress this evening on the Shelby which I got the rear panel basically finished that will take the place of the rear seat and while looking at the interior I decided to take the center console from the 2010 donor Shelby & fit it to the 67 & also decided it needed the GPS also and will have to do some modifying to the center dash to accommodate it. Pictures coming soon !
