Unfortunately no. Rear corners don’t match, front corners over headlights are too long, hood itself is too long so front lip will need to be trimmed back. I also had to remove the front fender bolts in order to get the curvature of the fenders to match the hood. Will need to make custom brackets...

And this is what you get with a 500 hood and 350 front end. Needs a bit of work but should be possible to get an OEM fitment.

OEM straight from Ford. All front fascia components will be OEM including the GT500 hood.

Cats, charcoal canister, etc… And I thought about that… It might be a way around the inspection block but I got to get more input from an inspector.

I wish!! The current regime here in Maryland is trying to crack down on out of state plates after they sent the titling and registration fees through the roof… There is a pathway through the other S550 where I get it inspected with the Godzilla, have my fun with it, then convert to EV…. That...

The cleaning continues... At this point, I'm pulling the entire interior to clean top to bottom. Ill have to do an assessment of what can go back in and what will need replacing.

Gives you a bit of an idea how much wider the 350 is from a standard GT.

Ok now that the beginning has been recorded! Time to move onto the plans for the vehicle. Since its missing a front bumper and both the passenger fender and hood have damage from a fender bender (not to mention the barely hanging on headlight), it will be getting a GT350 front end (OEM) along...

Well I figured I would start another build thread here... Originally acquired this 2020 GT as a parts car for the EV but it ended up being in better condition than expected to end up as just a parts car. So.... plan to restore this car back to working condition with a bit of a twist... This...

Ok so been awhile since an update... Lot of life events occurred and some additional research on the legal side of this build. Unfortunately, not great news on the legal side so far. As it currently stands, I don't believe a late model vehicle would pass a Maryland safety inspection having been...

Axle mock-ups complete. Need to send them out now to get reproduced as one piece. Pictures represent CV angle at a 1" drop ride height.

Also want to get everyones opinion on the path forward... The deeper I get into this project, the more painfully obvious it is that the aftermarket support just isn't there yet for an EV build. Things that I would consider major requirements like fast charging, vehicle integration, reliability...

CV joint cut down and features added back. Also made an adapter for the GT4 CV boot. Only CV boot that I have been able to find so far with this much thinner design. Hopefully this will allow me to avoid having to notch the control arms....

Looks great! What brand fenders are these if you don’t mind me asking? Been looking for wider fenders without needing the GT350/500 core support and bumper.

Got the custom toe arm brackets from sendcutsend welded in. I intend to use adjustable toe arms instead of the factory alignment bolt. Now back to the CV axle issues...
