This is a build I am currently working on. Car is not done yet, but it is close.
Neat, so that's a MY19 with a factory GT350 front end? Aftermarket? I can't quite tell what's going on with the headlights, new or old (i.e., GT350) style?

Very cool !

Would love to see more pics Bud. Beautiful car!!! :rockon:
Just waiting for new wheels to come in at this point. Here is a couple shots over the process.....

long story short, I went and looked at a new Shelby GT-H, and liked the car, but the price was absolutely ridiculous for what you get. A couple grand in fiberglass body pieces that donā€™t fit as good as OEM, and a coupe grand in springs, Katzkin interior, Borla mufflers, half shafts and stripes adds 38k to the price of the car??!?

Decided to build a better car, for much less money. (tried to have pics in order, but failed)

Front half of cars body is all OEM GT350, except the headlights. I went aftermarket on those, because they were half the price, and I like the look of them. Hopefully they work good.

Still trying to figure out an overlay for the grill badge. Donā€™t really want a 350r badge on it, and was hoping I could just remove it from the grill. Not quite that easy.

Wow really amazing work!
How much fabrication was involved in swapping the entire front end body work with the GT350.
Just curious how much it cost in parts for that project?
Love it!

Thanks!

On 18-19, there are two small brackets that are spot welded to the front structure that need to be changed (Doesnā€™t apply on 15-17). Other than that, everything is bolt on. The OEM parts total was about $6300.00. That included everything, including all of the fasteners, etc., and side skirts.

Would have been about $700 cheaper with the regular GT350 splitter/grill/etc.

R Brakes, spindles, axle shafts, exhaust, supercharger kit, steering wheel, Shelby airbag, wing, stripes, Katzkin interior, shifter kit, and wheels, was another 18k.

Total invested with paint was about 26,000. Car cost me 41k, so i have about 67-68k in the completed car.

I have the new wheels on it now.

Just had the dealer install these stripes, and get the car a ceramic coating.
Looks good. But you're a braver man than I to let a dealer do a ceramic coating.

haha yes.. took a bit of courage to have the dealer do this (this is in Medellin, Colombia).

I couldn't find a decent detailing shop here (I am still a bit new in Colombia. And would get gringo pricing anyways).

I'm planning on getting this done soon:

These are renders I made in Forza Horizon 4. My Mustang is actually a ecoboost convertible. Game doesn't have a 'vert, so I blacked out the top.

Nice!! I did the same thing in FH4! I love that paint booth! Need them to add:
1. S550 convertible
2. Ability to paint brake calipers
3. Ability to change color of logos
