Thanks guys. This is one that I'll be proud of

If I was starting blank canvas, I'd go GHIG with silver stripes.
GHIG is a bit extreme for me. My style is subtle and clean. So a bright white with nice wheels keeps me happy
Here's my last car and motivation. Started with a bone stock 95 GT. The chassis build went a little far and I let it go to start our family. Other than the cage and no a/c, the Shelby will end up similar

Great work so far! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Wow. Cleanest car i've seen in a long long time.
Cannot wait to see how the GT500 turns out.

Ohhh, you posted those on my thread too. Badass for sure man. Really looking forward to how this car comes out.
thanks buddy, yours too. I'm jealous of your car.
car is still at the chassis shop so I played with the radiator cover. cut out the prop rod clips and plastic welded in a smooth piece using a soldering iron. will paint it later on

No real update. Car still sits untouched at the frame shop. Guy is sick, no timeline to fix it. We have a tropical storm in the area, so it's just raining anyways.
Parts continue to collect on the shelf. I'm going to port match the blower to the VMP elbow and polish both. Will also open up the bottom of the blower and emulate Posi's port for these. I'm also considering to gasket match port the bottom of the intake manifold. There seems to be some material shrouding in comparison to the heads. These pics are barrowed from those who have replied to my questions on the topic. I'd love to hear if anyone has some feedback on it

$100 bag of screws for the front bumper. Ridiculous
Manifold with gasket showing the overhang
Cylinder head intake port. Looks like a close match. Will pull my manifold and check this out. Easy clean and hopefully help the airflow a bit. I'll take any advantage I can at this point. I'm running out of money trying to mod a GT500 on a fox body budget, haha

Looks great. I love to see awesome cars saved, especially when good people put some hard work into them. Great work.
thanks. I'm a huge fan of "diamonds in the rough". so this project was right up my alley. it'll be awesome when complete

Got the car back yesterday and it's perfect. Has a new radiator support and inner apron on the drivers side. All the panels line up in the old paint marks and the panel gap is good without even trying. Just slapped everything on today along with the new wheels and rubber. Put together the front bumper setup and hit the local cruise in spot.
Progress will slow for a month. Have family coming down and we'll use the car. Paint in September and installing all the parts I've been collecting!

Those both sound like solid choice's. I'd go Avalanche Gray. Love the color and different on a GT500.
