Oh yes, looks awesome!




May I ask what the average price for that conversion is and if it is an easy mod or not?

Do you know about how much it costs for just the front end conversion including paint?

Talking Just parts no paint ......

Your looking at another $1000.00 - $1600.00 for paint. Depending on what your looking for. Its not cheap. I did all the labor myself to save some money.
Its pretty easy to do - you can do it all on a Saturday afternoon. I did it in two because this old body was tired after doing the front end.

Is the "sight shield" the radiator shroud? If so, then I have to get rid of my painted Midwest Auto gear one right? Also, are the splash shields different from GT? I checked a crash book and Shelby # is same a GT. Finally, there is a bracket-fascia/headlight guide and bracket-fascia mounting(upper) your saying neither one is needed. Thanks I'm trying to do this on the cheap by trying to recycle as may parts as possible.

A sight shield? Thats what goes up on top of the radiator right? If so yes thats GT500 specific. The Wheel wells are the same as the v6 but the GT is different. I heard someone got away with using the GT ones but the kit came with v6 inners so I used them. You need both of those brackets, I was saying I didn't use any radiator specific brackets(like to hold the radiator on). I should have worded my reply clearer.

No need. I was looking to get some other questions, I have about the conversion, answered by someone who has actually done it to their car.

Thanks

The GT hoodline looks much better then the bulky GT500 hood, which really 'porks' up the car. Some of you boys have GOT to get some mirror caps

No thanks to the mirror caps, I'm waiting for the Cal-VU mirrors to come out so I can replace those elephant ears all together!
