shelby GR-1 replica
hello all
well the fun starts we have the digital images in the next 3 weeks the Shelby gr1 body will be cut out on a cnc router table in esp1 foam then the fun task of making a mold and then a body it will be mated to a modified Daytona chassis with a race car style interior and a 4.6l mustang engine and trans. the measurements are not that far off the Daytona chassis I have is 95 inch (gr-1 is 100) the Daytona lenth is 173.7 inches (gr-1 is 173) the Daytona is slightly wider but that wont be a problem a few things need to be figured out like the doors ...not sure how we are going to do the hinge..was thinking maybe gull wing doors? thought? this will be a one off build and I don't plan to build any other bodies due to copy right laws. |
Will be watching this with interest.

Same here. I hope to see some pictures as you progress.

One my favorite cars ever. I still can't believe the car sold at auction a few years ago for only $75k.

Are you going to do alloy or fiberglass? |

Anyone know where the alloy body GR-1 that was complete ended up? Guessing Ford or Shelby retained this one in the collection, it was a running driving car. Attachment 26817

Agreed...please keep us updated

That one would have gone places!
I don't know the history very well, but seems to me that it was the next step for them. |

Ford isissing the boat on this one in my opinion.
If they could produce this car at ZR1 prices it would've been very cool to have. |

Great!
I am doing a similar project here in SA. Just another car. I got a buck / ribcage cnc cut by a door frame manufacturer. I bought the 3D file for $100 from CGTrader com. Please post more pics! Should this post maybe placed under Scratch Builders? |
One can definitely see the Mangusta DNA all over the body lines. Beautiful car. I'm really looking forward to seeing this come together.
|
I agree.
scratch builders forum. 👀 |
hello
the car will be build out of fibreglass with a 4 inch round tube chassis and race car style roll cage the engine will be 4.6l and auto trans. this will be a slow build so pics will be as soon as the foam is cut and ready for body work |
