    Thoughts on this Shelby GT?

    I prefer the look of the S197 Shelby vs the GT500...having said that i do own a GT500. In some circles the GT is considered more of a "true" Shelby than the GT500. The GT's were shipped to Shelby Automobile's facility in Las Vegas have a Shelby VIN. The GT's have been underappreciated for a...

    Thanks... It makes a pretty decent sleeper. I also have a set of torq-thrust D's to give it more of a late 60's hot rod vibe...should the mood strike me

    it was odd... on this car I've done the brakes and the suspension work without much drama... in a past life I've completely rebuilt a few VW's from the ground up. That damn steering wheel was simply miserable to get off. It looked like the steering shaft wasn't aligned with the notches in the...

    So... in a case of one thing leads to another. Steering wheel finally pissed me of enough to do something about it. which led to this While I was at it...Maximum Motorsport quadrant, cable and firewall adjuster And eventually it all led to a new steering wheel ... mechanic failure that I...

    Been driving the car around and still loving it for the most part, but the std ford steering wheel isn't the greatest. Decided to go with the SVE FR500 style wheel from LMR. Turns out this is the toughest mod I've done on any of my vehicles..... ever. Damn factory wheel refuses to let go, I've...

    Anyway the car is road worthy at this point, so I finally got around to insuring the car today and went for the first official drive. I'm really enamored with this car as it sits but I've got some ideas for a couple more mods

    couple more things done on the car.... tires mounted and the rear trunk put back together. Put the Mach system back in the car rather than having it take up space in the garage.... it can kill the trunk space. Put the top down and that still feels so odd that's it going to take some time to get...

    I did consider it and might revisit the idea later. Car is intended to be more beach cruiser than boulevard brawler. The kind of thing you get in, drop the top and cruise up the coast; just because you can. Having said that, scope creep is starting to invade my thoughts.

    Thanks! I'll check the filter adapter and keep an eye on it. Car is pretty clean all around and so far isn't showing any signs of fluid leaks. The plan is to go through the mechanical systems and replace all the fluids.
