The mini tub and a four link sure give you a ton of room, yours looks great!

Thanks and yours looks great also. Hope you actually use and enjoy your car unlike some people that are too afraid to drive them after making them really nice. I've had a few people tell me I'm crazy for actually driving mine.

Absolutely, as much as possible.

I am usually stuck in my work van/truck so I seldom get to drive them, but I'm hoping next year I'll have more time!

Did you mini tubb it? Because those look like some pretty big tires and wheels.

Absolutely, the only thing from the original '70 sportsroof was the roof, firewall, and the rear deck panel (Which was cut out for the shelby tail lights.

The rear tires are a 315/40/R17 Nitto 555R street slick Front was a 245/40/R17 Firestone Firehawk.

I love that they make the repro 17" 69/70 Shelby wheels.

I love that you can mini tub a car and put some big fat tires on the back end. Mine was tubbed, And flared, so that I could run 335-35-17 tires on the back of mine, and it's flared in front to run 275-40-17 tires on PS Engineering replica TA wheels.

Kind of cool and almost period correct that the bumpers are painted body color. Nice job on that.
  Cool Mopar in the background. I guess the landscaper slid his 'vette  the in that one photo,eh.

The Mopar has a Viper V10, and hey! I love that Vette!

Your car came out beautiful, that red paint looks awesome. Not because we are partial to red.....Now go out and enjoy the drive!

Thank you!! It's competition orange, I was hoping to go with that more light orange, but this turned out perfect for the car. We must have good taste.

After eleven months, and many grey hairs I'm proud to say we've finally completed our '70 Shelby clone. You guys have helped us source hard to find parts, and how to put something together that.. Not too many people know how! My father had one that he bought and restored in 1976, but circumstances made him sell it in 1991.

As you can see, he kept the license plates hoping to get it, or another one back! We did a resto-mod with this one... Which you can't with a real one, so it's Sniper II EFI, four link, big brakes, front IFS with rack and pinion, and hydroboost brakes..

Hope we did a decent tribute!! Probably could have bought a real one for what it cost, it's still awaiting final cut and polish, but that's Sept 22nd!

Hello fellow enthusiasts!

I was looking for someone to 3D print one, but do they reproduce those little rubber pieces that go between the front fender and the Bumper? I have one but it is absolutely mangled!!

Still looking for the rear lace, I'd rather buy a used one!

scoop ducting I think is available at Tony Branda

Ordered it yesterday!

At least I get to use my Milwaukee Knockout punch on the car!

I have a 69/70 grille with the top mounting brace.

How much are you looking to get?

Thanks.

Hello enthusiasts!

I'm realizing nothing on my project is salvageable which is what I get for choosing the rust belt.

Needed

Shelby grille - Repro or original, does not matter to me.

Hood lip trim - Right at the front that ties into the eye brows/bumper.

Scoop ducting - From the quarter panel to the wheel well, preferably in good shape.

Rear lace - For deck lid and fender extensions

Thanks!! Please PM me or post here if you can help, I'm in Windsor Ont. 5 minutes from Detroit, so shipping from Canada or USA is no issue.

Found one thanks to Mr. Bill Collins!!

This site is great!!

Hey!!

I've almost collected everything for my '70 GT500 project, but I can't for the life of me find a front bumper.

I've got the eye brows, the hood trim and all of the bracketry, but the front bumper seems to be hens teeth.

I've posted a want ad here, and saw one sell in Miami (While I was down there!!)

Any suggestions on what to do? I won't need it for a few months, but it's getting closer and closer every day.

Thank you!!

I will look and see what I have

Please do!

All I need now is the front bumper, and hood trim, another member sold me the eyebrows!

Thanks!!

We've run into a few already, luckily other members on Facebook are pretty quick to mark them as spam and get them deleted.

Thank you!
