Thanks for all the input guys, now I need to do alot of research on Fords, suspension/engine combos ect. I'm also going to talk to Klye to see if he has anything for the Mustang...

Hey - SW, how much longer is your car gonna be @ DSE? I would love to drive over and stare at it for a few hours. (just don't worry about the drool stains on it when it comes home!)

**Streetking** · 07-21-2005

It's leaving Monday morning to come home...

Go by and check it out for me..

I know where there is a pro-touring Original 1968 or 1969 (can't remember) Shelby GT500 is being built right now and is going to try and make SEMA.
Lowered on 18" superchared 347. lots of body modifications like new front and rear spoilers and such.

I couldn't believe it was a real Shelby he was cutting up, but he even has the dash and sun visor signed by Carol himself.

Its getting ready for paint right now.

I think the only thing Kyle has for mustangs is the old rusty one he keeps out behind the shop.

Well...I guess I was the only jackhole to pick doing a GTO.

No, there are plenty of jackholes doing the same ;)

**Restomod** · 07-21-2005

AWWW hell if your going to do it go all the way with it! I have seen already cut up Shelbys (a 69 was on Ebay not long ago).Pick one up you like and a 03/04 Cobra engine/trans (reliable and capable of BIG HP),Heidits front suspension w/13" rotors and Wilwood 6 pistons, 9" and large Wilwood set up in the back. Keep the outer body (crappy factory looking paint and all) and interior looking as stock/restored as possable with all the goodies where it counts. This is what I would do if $ was no object...................................Feel free to use my idea as long as I get credit for it!

**Blitz** · 07-21-2005

Hahaha. Yeah, even though we've seen some good ideas of what you can do with an "M-word", I thought I'd try to get a little more diverse influence on here.

**Nine Ball** · 07-22-2005

Some ideas of mine, since I can't build them all:

63-67 Vette coupe with mini-tubs, nice wheels/brakes, and a magnacharged LS2.
66-67 GTO convertible, mini-tubs, air ride suspension, procharged 455ci LS2
1970 Buick GSX, black with silver striping, twin-turbo LS2
1970 Chevelle convertible
1969 Firebird convertible, black trans am clone with charcoal stripes

What?!?!?! no comments? You gonna wait till the last second to bid right?

**1970cuda** · 07-25-2005

sure is nice to see how some people appreciate other people's cars
"I think the only thing Kyle has for mustangs is the old rusty one he keeps out behind the shop. "
if it were a camaro, everyone would be excited about kyle's next project car. of course i might be over reacting since i have never seen
a camaro with rusty floor pans from leaking windows etc.

IF I had the money to win that Shelby I would cut that up into a PT car so Fn quick it would make your head spin!!!!!!!!!!! Sure you can buy a REAL nice FB for less than that BUT can you tell everyone "YEP its a real Shelby!!"??? BTW 1970 Cuda " i have never seen
a camaro with rusty floor pans from leaking windows etc." You have never looked at to many Camaros huh???????

Thats exactly what the Owner of the company I work for is doing.
He is making a pro-touring car out of an original Shelby.
I have to admidt I cringed when he said it was an original.
It should hopefully make SEMA.

**Restomod** · 07-27-2005

The way I look at it is....it is nothing but a shell,anything you do with it now is an improvement. Cutting an original restored/unrestored complete car would be a travisty(sic?) but this is not any of that but for a Shelby VIN#................................Any pics of what your boss started with?????

**Steve1968LS2** · 07-27-2005

<-- looking for a Mustang project car...

And I would cut up a Shelby in a heartbeat.. just to give the old times a heart attack.. think it would generate mail???

I would cut up any rare car if the engine/tranny/rearend weren't matching #'s. Without those parts being original, anything you do to hotrod them is an improvement anyways.

**formula** · 07-27-2005

i would love to see the SW/midas touch on a 69 mustang....please go that route!

the tigershark decal idea sounds totally killer to me..
