Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hey all! What do you get when you combine self isolation with boredom? See for yourself ;) Far from box stock, too many modifications to list - but you can check out the build here . All comments are very much appreciated!!

'70 Grande Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Nicely done. The weathering and minor battle-damage looks excellent as well as the detail-painting on the interior! Did you modify/widen the rear-track so those rear tires would stick out from under the fenders more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Answered my own question: I see now that the wide-track rear is a result of using the Nissan rear suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Beautiful looking build. The weathering from the road splash is done so well it's hard to tell it isn't real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I built a '79 RAC Rally replica, I know the pleasures of the RS1800 kit all too well. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Love the weathering, wish more people would give it a shot. I understand the tires sticking out, but a few bumps will slice and flat them. But the most important thing, YOU FINISHED IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
