GT500KR hood available?
Man, the hood is what sells me on this edition.
i hope Shelby makes it available for purchase after the KR is released, cause it would look great any GT500 or GT->GT500 clone |
Let me know what you find out on this, cuz I'm wantin one bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=61987 68 style ram air, very similar. The thing that makes it is that the nostrils are very close to the leading edge of the hood. I'm on the list baby! |
No offense to those of you that like the Alliance hood, but I think it fails in comparison to the look of the KR hood. It's like they tried to make the KR hood and just missed. The KR hood is the way to go...at least for those of us with Shelby clones or true Shelbys.

i think i am going to go with the Race Car Factory '68 hood until the KR becomes available, as i am not holding my breath for that.

So you guys are saying you're going to buy one hood and paint it and put it on your car, then a few months down the road (granted they make it) swap your Race car factory hood out for a KR hood?

I read in an Edmunds artical that they will NOT be offering the hood to the public. When interviewed, the Shelby crew did not give a straight answer about it. It went something like this:
"Will you be offering aftermarket parts off of the KR?" "Maybe we'll offer even BETTER parts to Shelby fans" So, since I cannot wait around for a hood that might never come out. I am modifying my GT500 hood (it's a fiberglass version) to be a KR hood. I am not attempting the vents though. If it works I might sell copies of the scoop section I build. It would require body work but those of you with a GT500 hood could make it work. |
calling AmyB...KR hood being offered?
hi amyb,
is the KR hood going to be offered for sale? thanks! |
Yao, I could be mistaken but I thought I saw on an interview that it might be. I think Shelby is looking to make more "kit" options available in the future. But Dave 2 spots above me may be right.
|
TMS: Will the hood be available in the aftermarket?
AB: Yes, eventually. Shelby Autos is looking more into 'kits'. We want to allow people to build their own Shelby with the exception of the small badges and such. Check out the thread: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...ight=interview |
I hear the kr hood will be over a grand based on the name behind it
|
Well I'll be done with mine long before they ever decide whether to sell it or not. What you see here is just the clay mockup on a GT500 hood. I will make a mold of the clay scoop and then bond, rivit and blend it into the hood.http://www.mustangforums.com/upfiles...0C2C4E7FD3.jpg
