SHELBY69

Next week she’s going in to install composite rear springs, white center console w cup holders & LED fog lights

Any news ? The stock upper seat belts are ridiculous. I installed proper modern 4 point harness and some modern seats so they’re actually usable. Tossed in a NARDI steering wheel too for more COBRA DNA and cus stock wheel is nasty plastic thing. I’ve never had a car as popular as this. Everybody loves it.

I’m just doing bolt ones. I installed a T6 trans, AC, ecklers shocks, springs, fat sway bars, BAER brakes on front, fake HALIBRANDS, NARDI steering wheel, Bluetooth, serious race harnesses & better seats custom upholstered. I got some new composite rear springs to stop the original springs from being so noisy. I’m just day dreaming. I won’t mess her up. She’s a beauty.

Prob a better idea than mine

The new Shelby GT350 & GT500 are beautiful cars. I love my 69 GT350 too but I have zero doubt a new Gt350 will smoke mine all day long in every category except looks. dropping a 69 Shelby Gt350 on a 2022 GT500 would be madness. Getting tempted to go there or maybe I just get a 2022 GT500 too.

My first stage was front lowered EIBACH springs, shocks & fatter sway bars rear EIBACH shocks & fat sway bar. I also added AMERICAN RACING “Halibrands” wrapped in fat modern MICHELINS. She has front BAER brakes too. I have race cars so I just want a comfortable cruiser. inside I added Bluetooth, new speakers, NARDI steering wheel, and CORBEAU seats w custom upholstery and JEGS 4 point harness bcus the original upper harness is ridiculous to wear

My Shelby runs great but the rear suspension makes nasty loud noises. Thinking of replacing entire rear suspension . Which one did you install and what do you like or dislike about it? Thanks i found coil spring kit and composite leaf springs. I used composite leaf springs on a 1968 Vette & they rode much softer than stock. I might try those.

Thanks guys

Was hoping they were for nitrous

No, cus the mirrors are manual

So she wanders a bit on the highway sort of esses down the road. I just have to be alert & bring her back to center. Nothing crazy like my 1960 Eldorado which is terrifying at 60 mph. What can be done to tighten the steering to prevent wander ? Thanks.

I’ll have to play w them & figure that out

Got the new seats in you can see the NARDI steering wheel there too. They work much better w the race harness that is mounted on the stock roll bar. Reupholstering them in white w the Cobra & blue stitching took MONTHS, IDK why. they are comfy too. Next issue is getting her to stop wandering in the highway. After I fix that I can add MORE POWER!!!!!!

Lots of real Shelbys

New Ford GTs

Real GT40s w LeMans history!!!!!

Lots of beautiful 1970 Mustang TRANS AM race cars were there. It’s always an amazing week.

Thanks, my race starts at 2;32;55 here. I’m in blue Corvette DP # 09 SPIRIT OF DAYTONA

I took a 1st in class at prehistorics last week. Today we took 2nd in class.

This club wants cars to use livery cars ran in IMSA. FL not paying me but Im a Floridian and I love FL so Im representing FL here in CrazyFornia

Racing at Laguna Seca at Pre HISTORICS Aug 7&8 and 12-15 at Monterey HISTORICS. CORVETTE is featured marque. I’ve always wanted to race this one and w CORVETTE as featured marque just makes it better. They made me change my livery to VISIT FLORIDA but I love FL so we’re good

New seats arrived. Sending them to upholsterer to be wrapped in white leather w grabber blue stitching. I’ll finally be able to properly use the race harnesses.

Keeping mine near stock. I added EIBACH springs & shocks from & rear and cut the springs w a saw to lower car. Handles like a modern car. Also added Halibrand wheels & modern MICHELINs wheels & BAER big brakes

Brakes fixed, don’t pull anymore. Steering aligned. New seats ordered. Waiting on kit to stop T5 trans from leaking on the flatbed.
