Yes!!! šš¼ Thatās coming up next!
Not sure when, but ever since I got the car Iāve wanted to do a convertible GT500/Shelby conversion. Always planned body work and interior first and then the drivetrain.
Iām working on starting up my own business in SoCal LA and I drive up to 300 miles a day, so...
Thank you, Iām very excited to see it finished and get started on the finishing touches and interior swap! šš¼
Itās all the same dimensions as an OEM GT500, so yes it does. Iāll have completed photos on Tuesday of the front end.
It sits two inches wider on each side, 4ā wider overall. Stock it...
Hey, yes youāre right. But the Shaker has a short 12ā connector that goes from the back of the sub and then to the harness. The B&O goes directly from the sub connector to the harness. Iām cutting off the B&O part of the harness and then wanting to adapt it to the sub end of the shaker sub...
Hey guys, maybe I missed it, but are there any wiring diagrams for the Shaker and B&O subs? Specifically where it wires into the vehicle harness. Need to compare the two for making an adapter.
I have the Shaker 8ā installed, and Iām building a convertible GT500 and when taking apart a donor car...
Does anyone have any experience or know where I can find more about swapping this main big dash piece? Itās got more accent stitching and soft touch, as well as doesnāt require cutting to fit the PP guages.
Iām already replacing almost every panel in the car with the Shelby parts, so itāll be...
Though BIG update, is I ended up pulling the entire interior of a Shelby Super Snake apart down to bare metal and am doing an entire official Shelby interior swap. All low mileage and like new out of a totaled car. Just crappy garage photos I just took for personal reference, didnāt plan to post...
Carās being finished this coming weekend, entire front end conversion. Then Iām adding side skirts, black painted mirrors, rear valance, spoiler, entire GT500 spec body
I need at least 50mm (2ā) spacers in the front, does anyone see any issue with going any larger? Donāt think Iāll need to go larger, but want to be sure the wheels fit the wide body
Hey just an update on whatās going on.
Drove the Mustang from NorCal to I5 Autohaus in Santa Ana SoCal, about an 8hr drive. I strapped the hood down and zip tied anything that could get caught or move and I left around 9pm to avoid being seen driving with a messed up front end š
Met with the...
Lmfao, the shop here tried charging me $9K for the install ha ha, ridiculous.
Got a specialty shop in SoCal whoās gonna do the work now and get me out the door with parts, labor and paint for well under $10K.
Since no one here seems to have any input at all regarding this kind of build, Iāll...
Thank you for the help!
I just bought brand new rims and tires less than a month ago, wasnāt planning on doing this kit, but someone smashed my entire front end so now here I am š
That makes perfect sense, 50mm (2ā) + my 255 tires = 305ās like the GT500. Going for the Mishimoto Mustang 2ā...
Any thoughts on these? Would 35mm be enough? All the stock Mustang wheels Iāve seen arenāt quite flush in the front, thereās an added inch on each side of the fenders with the kit. So Iām hoping this would be enough to make it flush with the fenders.
From what I understand hub centric is the...
Hereās a video of an install done with 255ās, though mine will look better and actually have the paint perfectly matched along with GT500 lighting. The gap between the wheels and the body is too much to ignore š
Hey guys! Need help getting the best spacers for my build, front and rear for a mean flush look š„
I have my 2018 Mustang at the shop getting a Widebody GT500 kit installed. Have basically everything sorted out but Iām going to need spacers so it looks and fits the wheels right. Iāve never used...
Hey guys, so update, Iāve just spoken with my insurance and auto body and I think this entire front end wide body GT500 conversion kit is the way Iām going to go. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions please let me know, Iāve already reached out to I5 Autohaus and they can have the kit...
Has anyone tried this? I had my front end smashed by a careless driver and am taking it to a local body shop this week for them to fix and repaint it. It actually needs almost all the parts included in this kit, and Iām thinking of getting it to convert my front end to the full GT500 look.
Photos of the build and body work progressing are a few posts down, currently fitting body work.
Hey guys, someone busted a U-Turn infront of me and my car needs front end repairs.
Originally I was thinking about doing this hood and bumper
Cervinis GT500 Style Hood
777 GT500 Style Bumper...
