Thanks fellas!

Got some good bench time on this one this weekend…mostly finished up the engine:

3D printed some headlight buckets and chromed them…I needed to install these before I could think about mounting the body so this was kinda holding up progress…

Whilst they were drying, got the engine mounted to the frame - I love how those stripes look under there!

And once that was done, I could attach the interior tub to the frame…I’ve been using a thin foam double sided tape lately for this kind of job and I like how it works - a little squish to help everything fit nice and snug, and no mess:

And once that was done, I could finally get the body on there:

Now, all the little doodads…bumper, and chrome grill surround on the front:

And then, same on the rear; used Createx red clear for the taillights, and added that 3D printed license plate I made before:

And then I could start adding some detail to the engine bay - battery wires and terminals, some photoetch and so on…

Not done - but it’s getting closer!  A decent couple of days at the bench…more soon!

I absolutely love the direction you are taking this Shelby. Fantastic results....

Stunning Mustang , Jim!

I am SOOO jealous! Beautiful build, and anytime you get an idea to go a certain direction, you just fire up your 3D printer! I wish I wasn't so technically challenged, I would love that kind of freedom
