1969 Shelby Gt-500

[Phillip Sandell]

I am using two different kits. Revell Motor-City Muscle '69 Shelby Gt-500 combined with a AMT The Fast and the Furious Toyota Supra VeilSide. I want to use the motor and wheels from the Supra and put it in the Mustang. My local Hobby Shop is having a Model Car contest and thats what i want to builde. I think i have 5 months to build it. I've only built one model before this and tryed another but never finished the second one. So hopefully i can finish this project. Any hints or help would be great.

Plus im not so good with photo's. SRY

It sounds like a good project rig.

I like where your going with it..

For photos. (not my strong point either)

A tri-pod helps and a camera with a timer (no shackie hands)

and a Little more distance (12-18"inches most digital cameras at Micro setting(lil Flower on Menu)

Hope this helps a bit..

Be watching your build

SACRILEGE A toyota, nisson, saab, yugo, or anything else in a Shelby GT-500? That's like putting a chainsaw engine in a Corvette. Just kidding, good luck on your build. Keep us posted on your progress.

Okay then... strange, very strange.

I guess it could have been a 3 cylinder - what was that thing Chevy Sprint? Geo? Some goofy thing.

It's just doesn't seem like a Shelby without a big Ford V8 in it, but hey, it's your model. Carry on.

i hope you dont mind, but this has inspired me. so much so that i picked up two of the fast and the furious '67 mustangs, and i happen to have a spare supra motor from tamiya's supra, and i decided to try this as well. im going to try my best to scrathcbuild a lot of the details inside such as turbo/intercooler etc. (i think the F&F veilside supra comes with some power-adding details). i'll be following your build as i slowly go through mine (this is my eighth project im working on! so i got many projects progressing slowly) and i will be posting my progress as well. I'll be ditching those cartoonish wheels that come in the F&F mustang kit... the actual tire is about as thick as a rubber band, and the rims are way to f-ing big IMHO.

the second stang will have a kitbashed Skyline motor between the ###### RB26 provided in the F&F kit and Aoshima's almost as disappointing S-series "detailed" RB26 with a single massive turbo (more akin to the movie than the stock twin-turbo motor AMT provides). we'll see how THAT works out... still trying to FIND the turbos on AMT's snaked-out exhaust.
