how do you take a 66 notchback and make it into a shelby clone?

 

technically you don't since no shelby was a coupe

 

Put all the shelby stuff on it and paint it like a shelby.

 

There are plenty of "Shelby" mods you can do to the coupe that look great...It's your car...do it your way...Have fun!

 

yeah not until what was 1967 and they were in mexico google shelby de mexico

 

can you do metal work and welding to take out the rear window and its struts and make it into a fastback?

 

Most of the "Shelby" look stuff is fiberglass bolt on. Hood, front valance, side brake scoops.
What are you looking to do? Or are you really looking to do the performance stuff too??

 

well i have a 302 but im gonna get a 428. im willing to do all the work over the next couple of years but the notchbak. i want it to be a fastback so it looks like a real shelby. i dont mind doin the work but i need to know if it can be done before i buy the car

 

The biggest motor you can put in a 66 will be a 351 W unless you take out the shock towers and so . to make the car a Fastback you have to change the roof quarte panels trunk lid ,so on it would be easier to just buy a Fastback , and less expensive in the long run

 

The guy in this link converted his red coupe to a blue 2+2 http://web.comporium.net/~ronniek/11.html
So it can be done, I hope you've got experience.
A 428?? Sounds like you need to start with a 67-68, instead. For the 65-66 go with a Windsor stroker, which you can take to 427 if your so inclined.
