Don Johnston Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I may have spotted your toy in the shop during the tour today. Not sure as lots of cars being worked on, mostly Super Snake upgrades. It looked like every lift was in use. A very busy shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Ok, I do have something new. I was in Vegas last week for the basketball tourneys around town, and here are some pictures of her. She is currently in the warehouse next to the wide body fab building, waiting in line for the wide body kit. There are a dozen or so cars there waiting on their turn, very busy in the wide body fab. Not sure when it will be done, but all the mechanical, engine, brakes, suspension, exhaust, and interior are finished, just the wide body, wheels, and stripes to go.

Tom Well let's see, I was originally going to take '68 GT500KR #2506 out, since I have been working like a slave for 2 years to all those SAAC judges giving me advice on the "correct" parts, finishes, nuts, bolts, etc. But, thinking about driving her from NM, across the Mojave, without A/C in July, well I don't know, maybe the new one makes more sense?

39Mustang Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well let's see, I was originally going to take '68 GT500KR #2506 out, since I have been working like a slave for 2 years to all those SAAC judges giving me advice on the "correct" parts, finishes, nuts, bolts, etc. But, thinking about driving her from NM, across the Mojave, without A/C in July, well I don't know, maybe the new one makes more sense? WHAT! lol Thats why I don't do concours because for someone to say oh that's the incorrect bolt I'd slap him in the head. These cars are built to be driven and is why I sold my 69 GT350 because I can't or really I won't modify it and the the modern GT350 can drive anywhere anytime with the A/C blasting. Good luck with no a/c but man I wish I would have bought the 68 KR Highland Green back in 92 and regret it all the time. They finish your GT350 yet?

mikeljgt500kr Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 They finish your GT350 yet? No, not yet, but getting close, she is out of the wide body fab building and into paint, not much left to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 So, you're doing a wide body on a GT350??? Have they done any of those yet? Is this an ignoramous question??? I cannot wait to see your finished project Mike!!! :bandance: :camera: Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I was told mine won't be the first GT350 wide body, but may be the first convertible. Just wish it was done now so I could get 'er out on the road, the weather is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Mike, Are you in Colorado? Will you be bringing it to the Rocky Mountain Mustang Round-up in June, Father's Day weekend? Sure would love to see it there! Edit: Based on your Moab post that I see, you must be in Utah? Hey, Steamboat Springs Colorado isn't that far! Always a beautiful weekend in June!

mikeljgt500kr Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 No, I am north of Santa Fe, NM. But good to know about that show, many Colorado folks come to our Rio Grande Mustang Club MCA regional the end of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Sak Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Looking good Mike!!! I dont know about your progress, but mine has come to a standstill after hearing a certain person is no longer there.....has been primed waiting for paint for well over 2 weeks with no progress since. Either way, you must be doing the happy dance now that things are coming along:-) Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, mine sat for a long time waiting for paint too, I am clueless about what goes on and what the steps are, so really don't understand the hitches and constraints in the system. But it is not at all like a regular assembly line process most of us understand. Cheers, hope yours moves along soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
