Ugh! Another One of Those Shelby Conversions!

Yes another one of those conversion! Still waiting for paint. Have to my painter to see when to bring her in. I want to thank KC for all the parts and all the other guys for posting their cars for inspiration.

Oh no - is your car Mineral Gray? It looks like it in the pics but this computer I'm on has a darker display than my PC at home. If it's MG, I'll have to stay away from your final painted pics even though I'm anxious to see them

Are they going to take the parts off the car before they paint them?

Yes my painter is going to take everything off to paint and also blend in the paint on the front fenders. I put everything on to make sure I left proper wire length for the fog lamp relocation. Since everything is OEM it all fit like a glove no problems. Also missing is the chin spoiler which wont' go on until the painting is done.

Please tell me your not driving around with the parts unpainted. I'm going to assume that was just a test fit.

Cool! good to see you're underway! Feel's kind of wierd taking all those good parts off the car don't it! At least it's off for paint so you don't have to stare at it... when you pick her up, it'll be like getting a new car all over again! Good luck man! can't wait to see your wrap up pics! Look'in good so far, how long did your painter say you had to wait??
