DrKerry Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Found out over the weekend that the Viper roof actually fits pretty good as well.
freakshow12 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 The supercharger was only ever fitted to two or three cars. The first one is owned by Amy boylen and is on display at Shelby American. It's a Paxton unit. I really like what you have done here
GTMust Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I must admit I haven't been following this topic as this generation of Shelbys never really grabbed me. But today I looked in and, boy, what a great job you are doing!!!Now I have new respect for the car..... and your customizing skills!Now, if Factory Five approaches you with an offer..... you're on your way to fame and fortune......Tony
Brianl Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Finally had a go at masking this thing & it hasn't turned out too bad. Getting four parallel lines of tape over that bonnet (sorry.... hood) was murder. I have just stripped the tape off so it needs a bit of cleaning up but all in all, it works I think. Colour is Tamiya Racing Blue which is darker than Shelby used but I have a couple of other models I want to use the Shelby blue on. Detailing the rear deck is next, fuel cell, cage etc then it should almost be done. As you can see I have solved the wing problem with a curve & a high angle of attack! Hope you enjoy it Brian 1
GoatGuy Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 You've done a great job on this. Really like the color.
mikemopar70 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I like this color too! A classic among Le Mans supercars. It looks so convincing, we may think it has existed! Very nice crafstmanship, congratulations!
o-man Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I hope this isn't taken as degrading; has a Viperish look. I think it is sweet! I wish the rear wheels had a little more lip to them, but I would be more than happy to have it!!
DrKerry Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Awesome, the color and those wheels really set this thing into orbit!!!! Lovin' it!!!!
Kennyboy Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 This is nothing short of amazing! It looks as if it was molded this way and built from a box. Love the color and overall presentation! Just a beautiful build sir.
Gluhead Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Man that's sharp. I've seen a few attempts at putting a roof on one of these, and none of them quite got it right, 'til yours. Great job.
POKAFONTES Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Great work, I love this car. Could see it racing. Congrats. Got to get my hands on some of these kits and bash away.
geemoney Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I saw one I person at the drags when they were new, it sounded awesome! your car looks gr8!!!!!
