      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...

      sw @ dse

      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!)

      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.

      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!

      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.

      mustang

      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.

      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.

      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?????

      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.
