GT500CR prototype

F'in Sweeet Jason!! Love the front valance and the rocker panels start tight and get wider, also like the way that side scoops dont look like a puddle of fiberglass and filler. The hood is a nice touch. What size rear tires are those? Are the flares a lot more narrow than the originals? The rear flares do not seem to make the rear tires look so small.

Looks better than the artists drawing. Can't wait for more :weas

WOW...looking good!!! Definitely need more pics. :ecit :ecit

Jason, that thing looks awesome!!

Very tastefully done man, killer!

I too like the original style hood. I like Eleanors, but I'm glad you got away from that look they have.

that's why I don't like the "molded" look vs "bolt-on" look. I don'y likr the idea of all the filler.

That car is a lot like the look I was going for when I did mine. I love the E-car lower valence, like a modern Shelby R model, but I like the the original Shelby grille rather than the billet E-car and road ralley driving lights. Well Done!

I also like that there are only four lights on the front versus the 8 lights on the "originals".

 

[Sluggo]

Yeah! :weas

How'd "The Man" himself like it?

I like the painted rear bumper.

What power plant is in that ride?

Definitely post more pics!

agreed. I was gonna fill the ones next to the headlights and use 65/66 parking lights in the valence like the 65 R model. I left the "brake duct" holes on mine open with no lights in there. Oh well, when I have to repaint it...

and now that I take a closer look, there are no turn signal/parking lights... is that street legal?

Very well done Jason, Is it just me, or do the taillights have a bit of a slant to them. I really like it!

never mind, I see them now...

good job posting all those lethal!

 

[ClassicRecreations]

Yes a bit of a slant of my taillights
Little details I changed....
Smooth drip rails and shaved bumper bolts and extended for a better fit.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Its been very stresful trying to design this car to meet the classic car and new car feel.

So far Im very pleased. The drive is incredible.
