2008 Shelby GT500KR

[Nick Chapman]

Here's the 2008 Shelby that some of you were waiting on. Before pictures weren't the greatest. I didn't do such a good job with the pictures :( So all you get are after shots :D


Here's an article on this car http://www.mustang50magazine.com/featuredvehicles/m5lp_0809_2007_gt_500_retromod/index.html

[gtownGT]

[ceyko]

Great work again man.

[Nick Chapman]

Thanks guys! Just to note, this of 1 of 5 built. All 1968 sheet metal from the doors forward. Excellent craftsmanship!

[gtownGT]

Hey Nick do you have any pics of the 07 GT500 you did not too long ago? My dad might be interested in your services here pretty soon for his.

:confused: Don't think I've done a red/white one. The first pictured Shelby is the one I couldn't open the trunk on.

Nick, my car is at GH. When it's finished I would like you to go up there and make it look NOT SO HORRIBLE.

Are you sure? We went through this before, then you took the car home without calling me :D Let me know when you'd like it done, I'm a bit backed up right now. Should I just go through Chris to figure out the details?

Go through Chris. It's yours to rub on.

[BLAKE]

Hell yeah that's pretty funky/cool.

I still say that lower valance is like a dildo hood ornament, and the tail lights aren't a good fit, but there's something to like, that's for sure.

[Sean88gt]

I like it in white better, but it just looks weird. The back half is greatness, but the front end just seems odd on the new body. The mirrors are the culprit.

[Rocman]

Nick, don't forget your new customer up in Southlake. The ACR was too dirty to drive yesterday. :sgrin:

[Slowhand]

The rear looks killer.

The front looks like an outbreak of genital warts.

[scootro]

wow that's pretty cool!!



looks great nick...

Holy fuck I just splooged myself! Nice work man. Please post more pics of your work!

There are pictures plastered all over this forum :D

Go into your control panel, and then "edit options", about 2/3 of the way down the page, select "Default Thread Age Cut Off" and change it to "show all threads"

There are pages and pages of my work in Nick's Custom Detailing forum :D

Come on, thats a little harsh. I really like these cars. They care very unusual, and creative. The only turn off for me is the huge fat chin it has and the wheels. But I like everything else.

Haven't forgotten about you. Just been completely buried :( Took 1/2 a day off yesterday, and ended up working my ass off around the house, trying to get things around here caught up :(

[BLAKE]

I'm blown away by that rear bumper. Maybe a little forced, but I like it. Too bad the lights missed the mark.

I also dig the shit outta the wheels.

You didn't have to polish them :mad:

Maybe it was. The front is nearly there, but it falls a little short and I guess it really puts me off. I think it may be the hood.

[akfodysvn]

great work on the detail... but the car still looks awful.

[Nick Chapman]

Guess you either love it or hate it

[5.0_CJ]

I personally never liked the catfish snout on shelbys.

[BLAKE]

I personally never liked the catfish snout on shelbys.

It really only had that in '68. I've always felt it was inferior to the '67, and the 69-70 just doesn't look Mustangy anymore.

[46Tbird]

Man that is a funny looking car. :D

It's just enough "real old" and "real new" to make you look... I think I'd rather have two cars than a hybrid though. :D

HOLY CRAP!!
That car is beautiful! :love:

[big_tiger]

Hate the tail lights, but everywhere else is TITS!

[Badass2000gt]

Is it me or in the third picture the taillights on the left side look way off?

[5.0 svo]

Do the tail lights work sequentially when you use the blinker?

[Nick Chapman]

It's you

[Tyrone Biggums]

Nick, I can't believe you let someone park that hideous abortion in front of your house.

[87fiveoh254]

I can't decide if I like it or not.

[5.0_CJ]

It's like an overweight shelby, today's cars just look so......portly.
