Wow. I just discovered the thread on building your machine shop. Working on engines must be easy for you with a setup like that.?

Glad you enjoyed it.

Chassis work.

Great work Pat!

The 428 Cobra Jet is definitely a good way to “fill” the engine bay of a Mustang. ?

I like the way the Detroit automakers saw things back then; always put the biggest engine that can fit under the hood! ?

[slusher]

Nice Progress Pat, engine looks great!

[landman]

Working on the interior. A few more touchups to the touchups and we should be good.

[landman]

There, it looks like the steering whhel didn't get its brown wash. Ah, the golden years....

[slusher]

Great looking interior, Pat..

[landman]

And we have paint.

[espo]

Like the color. 

[TransAmMike]

Coming along quite nicely Pat, prrr-ty color!!

[AmericanMuscleFan]

Love the color Pat! ?   Is it Calypso Green?

[slusher]

Beautiful color!

[Bainford]

Great colour for a '69 Shelby.

Thanks Trevor, but don't tell anyone it is a 1956 color. The purists might cringe. Well, at least it is a Ford color.?

[landman]

I think the gold stripes would be good. What do you guys think?

[vamach1]

Gold or white.  I had to double up the decals when I used them on a darker color.

[rickcaps55]

Gold for sure that will show nice on that color .!

I agree with the 428 CJ. That is what I stuffed into my 68 Shelby. If you REALLY like a challenge, try putting a 427 SOHC motor in a 67 GT.

Decals and clear have been applied. I may finish this this year yet.
