GT 500 Pro Tourer
 
I think we are far enough along on this one to make it interesting for everyone,well maybe not everyone after all its not a Camaro.
This is a genuine non orig numbers GT 500 Shelby and we are gunna cut into it, I can here the purists screaming now!.
this will run a shelby alloy 427 block with blue thunder heads heads and TWM/Borla injection 6 speed tremec Magnum,TCP suspension front and rear, Baer 6s brakes,the customer has asked us to remake all the Original shelby fibreglass in metal.and end up with a fit and finish to rival his high end cars.
Bit of a challenge,lets see. Sorry if this is abit boring to start with.

This will be a great project, I'll be watching this build for sure! I'm a Shelby purist, but I can't help to think of what would have happened if Shelby had his hands on our modern technology when he were building these cars. This will be a fine example of that mystery!

Great metal work. And good choice on the suspension! Right hand drive FTW!

Serious skills.

KPC67 01-09-2011 06:45 PM

All your cars that i have seen are simply amazing..
Great job:hail:

lilcraigford 01-09-2011 07:15 PM

Really cool! I am a huge fan of the '67-'68 fastback body style, especially '68 GT500's. I see in the rendering though, that your going from the '68 Shelby nose to the '67?

rjsjea 01-09-2011 07:25 PM

Dang nice looking work. Looks like your busy with other cars as well.:cool:

Musclerodz 01-09-2011 08:51 PM

PS: dude you should not hold out on your website, incredible facility you have!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words,we consider ourselves lucky to be working on some of the top car builds in Australia,all our cars are alkaline dipped before we start work.

How many hours do you think you will have into copying the fiberglass sheby parts in metal? I am just wondering how it would compare to buying the fiberglass. Great work. Scott.

We will have around 150-200 hrs in them,dont forget that this is a genuine GT 500 so it already had all the original glass pieces just the customer wanted more of a 67 style front and no glass on the car only steel to give it more of a hand built, one off feel.

Southrod 01-17-2011 03:16 PM

OK update time,fabbed up the front last couple of weeks, lengthened the hood
3 inchs and fabbed a functional hood scoop,decided after welding on the front half of the hood (repro piece of CR***P) that I would fab the scoop in aluminum and bond it onto the hood.
finished fabbing the front fascia,next Im onto the lower valance/ air dam then on its wheels to have a look outside at its profile.
