'08 Shelby Follow along for a TT kit build

[CPRsm]

Turd might warm some coolant at some point today. There is an event tomorrow but it's a rat rod 50's style event. Which means shit tires with be there. But maybe get a few shake downs with it, see how the car feels. Track rental later today but don't think it will be ready.

Already banned in 4 states for being too damn sexy ! LOL Love it. So much bloody work just to fit it with that size rim and backspace, but worth it.

 

[90goldtsiawd]

OMG that looks amazing...

 

[AlanSVT]

Pretty damn sexy.....

 

[GOTSVT?]

Looks super sexy.

Thanks guys. It's finally off the rack and got an '11 up there for some mods. kept me up last night trying to figure out how to make the kit and that;s not even why it's here lol.

c'mon update

 

[CPRsm]

Sorry, I'm trying. But I talked to the owner of the 2011 and he's letting me keep it a little longer so I can build the turbo headers. Finished one yesterday and hopefully the second goes much easier.

 

[jazz05]

Oh no you don't , NOW GO TO THE DESK GRAB THE KEYS FOR THAT SHELBY AND FIRE IT UP !!!, (can't wait ...any...longer) ahhhhhh!

LOL

 

[CPRsm]

Man, you're preaching to the choir. All that work, so close, and can't play with it yet. Should able to play with it soon. Headers should be done this weekend. Just need to get them done in a hurry so he can have his car back.

 

[jazz05]

Ya just bustin' your balls LOL lookin great

Now get back ta work!

 

[CPRsm]

Yeah I know. But done with the headers. :banana: What a bitch lol.
Going to start tinkering again on the car this weekend.

 

[90goldtsiawd]

Updates???

 

[CPRsm]

Eh, nothing really. Too much dumb shit going on. Just pulled a tranny for the third time because someone can't make a clutch that fits. I mean, the car is stock, and 23 years old, and they haven't figured it out yet. :kaboom: But will be working on the 2011+ k-members this weekend. Need it for the GT500's and GT's. Will be R&Ding a single and twin kit for the GT's here pretty soon. So i need to get on it while I have some "free" time.

 

[90goldtsiawd]

Damn I was really hoping to hear you finally got the GT500 out to the track with the big boy shoes...

 

[CPRsm]

Hopefully soon. Got the k-member where I wanted, and I'll throw the tranny back in, again,.....tomorrow. It's sad how close I am lol. It definitely needs some bigger shoes up front. The stand is where I want it but the gap at the wheel well is way too big. Plus my buddy broke his foot and he's been on the disabled list. And I need help with a few things.

 

[rdsnk46]

Hey man, do those wheels actually fit or are they sticking out? What size wheel/tire and back spacing are they? From the side it looks great but it has a slight lunar rover look from the top. LOL!

 

[CPRsm]

Yeah, they stick out a little. With a bar across the tire at it's widest point, it sticks about 3/4 of an inch. Right now they are 325/50 on a 15x12 w 3.5 bs. I don't think it's real bad looking. A little farther than I'd like, but not mini tubbing it. I just need a wide rim to keep tire growth down, to keep that foot print wide. 10.5 slick will fit great measuring 1.4 in narrower than this 325 on the same size rim. If I ever decide to start breaking shit I know I can fit the 325 under there. 15x10 would have been a ton less work, but this should be worth a .001 down the track with better traction LOL

Your a braver man than I!!!! It doesnt matter as long as it goes fast, ugly and slow is the kiss of death though!!! JFWY LOL! Cant wait for you to make a good pass!

 

[CPRsm]

Fast and ugly is me. This is the first nice one I've owned.haha "Honk if parts fall off" was the joke usually dispensed at my expense. All in all the juice was worth the squeeze. Love the way it turned out. Now lets just see if there's any function to go along with the form.
