1969 Shelby GT500 rebuild

A few of you might remember this when my friend built it on dubs :screwy:
It was stripped of its wheels and it sat in a box for nearly a year, seeming I have no models to continue building now I decided to take it out last night and start fixing it up. Here are some before photos so far.

Some photos of what got done last night, later on today.

Great rebuild project!! I remember this one

this will be great. what color? may I suggest black w/ white racing stripes like the GT500 recently showed on the barret jackson auctions (or whatever the hell its called) that car went for crazy money!!!

where can I get a shelby GT500 model? any idea? :dunno:

You can get the 69' Shelby GT500 in a combo 3 n 1' kit. Or AMT has the 68 gt500 which is a nice car.

Great start, I have never seen this model so I want to see it finished.
I to have a Shelby project in the works. Check it out and let me know what you think.

looking good

Got more pictures, will put them up in a few hours.

Some more, I am planning gloss orange, that is why some of the underbody is gloss orange. Just a simple rebuild, nothing fancy.

interior is nice... great job on the underbody... keep it up

Sick, dude, the interior looks a million times better already, what kind of rims you putting on? how about some 17 inch torque thrusts?

Man, that is some thick Mull in the 4th pic in your last post... :smokin:

Ohh, and the model is looking pretty sweet too.

That looks really good. How did you lower the front?

Haha I magically lowered the front by having no front suspension ;) (model is not complete yet, far from)
I'm just going to use those wheels on it now, got no money to go out and buy more kits/wheels.
Jonno, you know I get bored man.......

More pictures..
Mightn't be able to work on it much tonight and tomorrow, I'm replacing someones roof with my dad.
