Thanks man. I have been a Mustang nut as long as I can remember. I wanted a Shelby but they are way out of my reach. I had this coupe and decided to make a car I would really enjoy.
I know what you mean about the movies, I agree but I just fell in love with the GT500E look because I have always had 67/68 Mustangs (about 6 I guess). I kinda blended the Shelby and Eleanor look a bit with mine. I'm happy with the outcome, it is different.
I love the 69/70 SHelby look. I bet yours will be sweet, any pics? Where are you at with it?

Thanks,
I didn't want a clone or copy of a real Shelby or movie car but I went for the "look"
I'm going to lower it for sure, do you guys think I should add the rocker stripes? If so, just the GT500 or GT500E?
How about any emblems?

Thanks guys, I thought about the Califoria Special stripe and changing the CS to SC for "Super Coupe" but I'm not sure I like the strip in the center of the body. I may go with the Mustang GT stripe where they had the letters in the stripe on the front fender like on a 66 GT???
