7 years later and countless hours. I am 99% finished with my GT-500. What do you all think. 427 stroked all aluminum shelby FE. Stage 2 ported shelby heads,c8ax cam,Tunnel-wedge intake and bj/Bk

shelby carbs.

SWEEET!

Looks BEAUTIFUL! Well worth the 7 years...

Floormats need to be cleaned though

 

[Grabber70Mach]

Very nice looking. Looks like it was well worth the time and effort.

NICE!!!!!!

Did you keep the original engine? Is the car in the registry? I did see the tag, but please keep your VIN confidential here in public places.

i'd be turning that sleeper into a car hauler that way you could back her out and take her for a spin!

Okay,I have to say it.....

"That Bad-Azz black screamer sitting next to a black "long-nose" (Peter-car? K-Whopper? Maybe a Mack???) keeps reminding me of a really bad Burt Reynolds/Jerry Reed movie from the mid 70's - which, truth be told, we all thought was cool at the time!"

All jests aside; beautiful car, and you should be very proud. Don't know as I'd lay out the long green for Carroll's signature on a block (maybe a Pond or Genesis if any are to be found); but DAY-YUM; it sure looks purdy!

I think, if you were to be doing a re-make of Smokey and the Bandit (finally remembered the name of the movie), the Shelby would be slightly more realistic in the role than an oversized Pontiac!

But that's just my opinion, YMMMV.

What kind of headers are on that 427?

They are Hooker Super Comps. Thanks for all the kind words.

Wow! that oil pan is like 1" off the ground! what about bumps? AVOID THE HUMPS.

 

[BadAsGT-500]

Just the way the pic. was taken. The headers and oil pan have the same clearance.

She's a beauty! You probably should block out your license plates from the picture. A lot of idiots out there looking for stuff like that. I noticed you are not running with an export brace or monte carlo bar. I would think this would be problematic at some point, even if that big block is all aluminum.
