#1-SHELBY Racer!
In for the triple threat, my skinny build will be based off this Shelby frame, since it’s already blue maybe SHELBY-COBRA inspired build..

Maybe a white panel tank with blue stripe?

Maybe a matching fat blue tank with a white stripe on each side of the top of the tank. I mean as long as you're fabricating a tank... Looking good.

You gotta go with some white stripes for sure. Carroll would be proud (though not impressed with the lack of horsepower.) That blue paint is gorgeous.

Then there was the Shelby Viper!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

He was a "performance consultant" for the original plans. So all of them are sort of Shelbys. But there is one...

SAY HELLO TO ONLY THE SHELBY DODGE VIPER COUPE EVER MADE

This 1997 Shelby Dodge Viper GTS/CS is a 1-of-1 prototype built under the watch of Carroll Shelby, and now it is heading to auction.

I had one that was not a Shelby, at the end of its life, but still a great car.

I've lived within pedaling distance to this museum for over ten years now and have not been yet. My youngest brother and I have a pact and as soon as he gets over here for a visit we are going to check it out together. He lives near The Petersen and the next time I visit him, we are going to make a first visit to that museum together as well. We're not motorheads per-se, but we both know enough to not threaten man card revocation and also know what we like. Carroll Shelby is an American Hero to both of us.

Looking forward to seeing how this build progresses. I like the panel tank idea, keeping it aero and having a space for some "rally stripe white" accent.

Heading to bike locker for a few parts..

 

[Vin-New]

As much as I can get done, weather not in my favor outdoor!

 

[Vin-New]

Took some brass wool to cleanup the headset!

 

[Vin-New]

Had about 45mins of daylight left and got me a quick mock-up!

 

[Pondo]

I travelled to LA for work once a year in January and always headed to the Petersen if I had the time. Amazing collection. Make sure you get to the see the cars in the Vault too. I have also been to the Shelby Musuem in Vegas a few times. The highlight was seeing Carroll's early 260 Cobra (no longer owned by the museum) and the twin Paxton supercharged Cobra. Another museum definitely worth checking out is the Mullin museum north of LA.
