Kennyboy Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 Very cool project, Ken! I love the front end treatment too! Thanks Dirk! Really love what you have going with your Ghia build. I'm definitely following!!
ScrappyJ Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I appreciate the kind words on the Ghia! I love the pro-touring/G-machine genre and have seen the Vette before in several publications. This is a difficult one to capture because of the various styling ques, but you are nailing it and doing good justice to a worth-while project. While my project has porsche power in a Ghia, in the real world, your project would still smoke mine, LOL.
Kennyboy Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 If yours had the 997tt motor.....I think it would be a dead heat.
TFchronos Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Awesome work Ken, it's gonna be a real beauty when it's done.
DrKerry Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Seeing it today in person was even better. This is gonna be an awesome car when done. Nice to have met you today Ken!!!

Kennyboy Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 To me, even with the low turn out there was great quality there!! Figured I'd show everyone else the interior/chassis updates. INTERIOR UPDATE: Red!!!
DrKerry Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Photos don't do it justice!!!! Loved the Shelby today!!!!

Kennyboy Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Got some of the body mods done/almost done: Cut out sides on both sides of the car to remove the old curved body line, then added sheet styrene and thin aluminum sheet for the "gills" BEFORE: AFTER: Edited September 4, 2013 by Kennyboy
