Work continues on the 1955 Cameo Pickup. Last time we showed you the disassembly. It is starting to come together. Check out the smooth, custom firewall. The bed is getting some custom touch as well.

The Shelby is ready for the owner to pick up. 

Here is a quick video of our painters applying the final coat of clear.

The 1967 Shelby GT 500.  The perfect blend of sport and muscle, 1967 Shelby GT 500 was designed and built to satisfy a taste for high performance American cars.  Carroll Shelby did what he did best, he designed a car that would scare even the most experienced driver.  The 1967 GT 500 had a list of upgrades over the regular Mustang that included the reworked 428-cid V-8.  Shelby added the cast-aluminum medium-rise intake from Fords 427 and twin 600-cfm Holley four-barrel carburetors to produce a conservative rating of 355bhp.

Shelby added numerous performance upgrades over the regular Mustangs as well as many cosmetic attributes that makes it stand out over the competition still today, just as it did 50 years ago.
