Nice job. Garage looks great. Tell us more about the car. Is that a 67'?

 

[robert_t_wallace]

no...its a 1966 Mustang fastback with most of the Shelby Mods. A long time ago, I picked up a Hipo 289 that was built for a Shelby Vintage race car. I finally came across a Fastback body and decided to make it "like" a Shelby. It has the 1966 Shelby Side windows and side scoops. I put a 9" out of a Lincoln Versailles and a Rack from Total Control. A few years back, my wife got me a Paxton like the original ones installed by some dealers.

Pics below...

Nice car! How do you like the Total Control unit?

That is a great project, and has it has some history as well -- good job.

Old man Shelby would probably sign it for a few grand

It seems he's put his signature pretty much on every original, custom and clone out there -- to the point where it's getting rediculous.

The total control is great. It was the only one I found that had appropriate clearance with Headers, etc.. It is a manual rack as I didn't want to deal with the pump. It is MUCH better than manual steering...

I did get him to sign the glove box... He does it for a $250 donation to his heart foundation.. Really adds to the look...

I bought them at SAMS.. They have that polished Aluminum look which goes well with the elfa wire shelving in the front of the garage...

Looks great. As a Shelby fan I'd be VERY proud to donate 250 to a good cause in his name. The voluntary signature would just be icing on the cake. (Who knows. That donation may save my life, or my kids', one day.)

Yes..I agree..to top it off, it is tax deductable.
