Mattilacken

I have not always known who he was and what he have done. My first experience with a Shelby product was the Series 1 that he made. I was a teen at the time and I liked the specs of it not just how it looked. Did PS of it with a viper roof, which a fellow member built in to a model way later probably without seeing the rendering. I did my take on the Shelby series 1 with a wide body, new front, custom hood, supercharged engine with side exhaust, other wheels brakes and tires, racing seats with my first PÉ belts. A fellow builder “Proosen” @ AF found it published in a Swedish mag, as the only car from that show in 2005. Quite a achievement considering the quality of the build that wasn’t the best. But many liked the look of it. I Have a plan to make a similar build in the future. Just some pictures of an altered Shelby..

?wow. Just wow! Each part looks incredible!

That’s cool! It ticks my boxes!

Have made some minor progress on the Silverado street race truck. The fixed steering have been made steerable.

Baby steps.. some adjustments are needed to the steering and see that the height is right.

Made some minor things to night, mostly cleaning up and sanding putty but some more substantial things.. I have wanted the front to steer.. so I drilled and cut it apart. Need to clean one side up. The far side looks better. The extended fuel Cells should be done now so I think I can start the new cage work.. can some one please tell the builder to calm down and just get on with the build and not integrate new things al the time.

Got me materials, some PE, tools and detailing materials ?

Great build! Both looks really good!

Nice build! I like your scratch built things, a suggestion would be to use a 1,6mm or similar rod for the tubing, would make it look more to scale and you would on the pics take it for the real deal! but really great work there!

Thanks! Good that I manage to inspire :-)

Good to see that you have made a second try! Great work even though you say you are not satisfied! Is always tough to start over but we always learn some thing!

Really nice work on this build!! Looks fantastic!

You made quick work of that! Can’t wait until primer!

Yes the seats look kind of right, they come from Revell ‘67 Chevelle kit. The dash is as you guessed from C5R since I have one over.

Looks beautiful! Good work!

Looks good!

Looks really good! Nice work on the chassis this far!

Yes it’s rounded differeny on the edges. Will try turn it but I think you see better in one of the later pics that I posted right now.

Snapped an other so the offset can be seen better. I did also find the seats I believe and maybe a dash..

Done some small progress. Managed to get the wheels inboard some with some tweeking, hacking of the front calipers and adjustments to the rear hubs. Still not perfect butt getting there. Removed the lift blocks on the rear to lover it, still need to alter the front. the cut caliper. The difference in size.

Cool! Will be Nice to se it rust away ?

Nice! You know how to set the stance right!

Cool looking 4-door! Great job there!

I am digging that! Looks sweet!

Thanks! Still a long way to go!
