1965 Shelby GT350R Rally Car

[griffin-gt40]

New long term project for the New Year. I'm stalled on painting anything as I ordered myself a belated Christmas gift this week and bought a new Harder and Steenbeck airbrush and it has not arrived yet. So the new project is a car for my own personal bucket list. If ever given the opportunity I'd love to participate in a vintage rally race, most notably, the Peking to Paris rally run by http://www.endurorally.com/ . So with that in mind I'm building what would be my choice for a Classic rally car, even though it never was one.

Starting with Revell's 1/24 Shelby GT350R I will be converting it using pieces from the Part Bin and also some aftermarket goodies.]



Wheels and tires from Fireball Modelworks.




Seats from Hobby Design.






And some 3D printed items from Shapeways along with some scratch built parts as well.
Paint will likely be Ford Guardsman blue from Gravity Colors.



Or maybe Viking Blue



Not sure yet which I'll choose.
