To be clear you are aiming to build a 67 GT500 Shelby clone from scratch right?

You may want to see if Glazier Nolan is willing to take this on. This is not a resto it's like a super kit car IMO.


Good luck,

First guess is they'll decline.

 

Hmmm… G/N is doing a 69 GT500 from junk right now, and just finished a 68 GT500KR from junk, and a 68 GT500 from junk a couple years ago. They once built a "BOSS 302" clone that is totally authentic other than the VIN.

1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible

1970 Sportsroof

Creating a 67 GT500 clone from a Dynacorn body would be easy compared to those cars.

 

Be sure to keep us all updated, it'll be a fun read..what kinda budget do you have planned?:shocked:

 

This was posted last month.

 

You have a good list to start from. We are in the middle of building a 1967 Dynacorn Mustang and I just want to let you know before you start that you will have a LOT of hours getting the parts to fit as there are very few aftermarket parts that bolt on without some modifications and sometimes major modifications.

 

To be clear, Rustys talking about a brand, spanking new Dynacorn body,..look for his thread, as I read I was suprised at the small things that didn't match up, even something easy like the radiator supports.:shocked:

 

I haven't gotten to the interior where none of the brackets are in the right spot for the trim and panels or how the after market trim panels and vents don't fit either.

Well, you probably need to just find a good restomod body shop, as most specialist Shebly restorers would probably not do a clone on a Dyncorn shell. And then do a lot of homework.

The Shelby crowd is generally very reluctant to share info to those making replica/clone/tributes... as I am finding in doing up an EXP500. Trying to find details on the front fiberglass install and having little luck in anyone sharing original pics of assembly and part (fastener) details as I am trying to use "period correct" as much as possible.

 

I use to own a 67 GT350 (sold it a few years ago). I have a lot of photos of the front when I was restoring it. I am also building a shelby clone. Anytime you need a pic, let me know.

 

Shops

Not sure where you are but- West Coast- Mustangs Plus, SE US- orlando Mustang, NE- Glazier.

 

One of the best already posted in the thread...check out Rusty's restorations and give him a call. If I had the cash lying around that is where my car would be.

 

I'd think hard before building a Taiwanese GT500.

 

Anytime you need a pic, let me know.

Thanks for the kind offer. PM sent...
