Default summer bullitt build

my grandpa and i are going to be working on building a mock-up of the mustang from Bullitt starring Steve McQueen. (pics can be seen in my album) and we were wondering about some good places to look for parts for our build

There aren't really any special parts for a Bullitt car. All you need is to debadge a '68 S code, beef up the springs and shocks, add Torque Thrusts, install some glasspacks, and paint it the proper green. Voila.

I'm not saying it's not awesome, just that it's simple That's exactly how they did the movie cars.

Reminds me, I need to go watch the chase sequence again...

You just wanna see the same hubcap come off about a dozen times??

If you look close youll see a 68 GTO in there that they pass up.

There's also a bug that they pass, parked and moving, multiple times.

I have it on DVD. Looks pretty sharp on our 52" LCD
