Ford Shelby GT500 (with working convertible roof)
Well, before I started this model, I thought that it's so easy to build a GT500, but trust me it's one of the hardest cars to build with LEGO!! You'll face many problems thru the building process… I tried my best to make it as realistic as possible, and at the end it's your judge, so I hope you like it and give me your opinion… thank you for visiting my page.
About this creation
2008 Ford Shelby GT500
The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 carries on the long-running association between the Mustang and Carroll Shelby, the racing legend and automotive designer linked to Ford since the late 1950s and early '60s, when he used Ford engines in his Shelby Cobras. In fact, the new Shelby GT500 is a throwback (at least in name) to the original 1960s-era GT500, which was one of Shelby's most famous Ford super-cars.

True to its name, the 2008 version of the Shelby GT500 features a 500-horsepower, 5.4-liter, 32-valve supercharged and inter-cooled V8, which links to a Tremec six-speed manual transmission. The GT500 also features an SVT (Special Vehicle Team) performance-tuned suspension, and 18-inch machined aluminum wheels with SVT center caps.

In keeping with its status as a unique super-car in Ford's stable that's a step above the standard Mustang, the GT500 comes equipped a number of unique features, including functional air extractors in its reshaped hood and unique front and rear fascia treatments that give the car a more hunkered-down, muscular appearance (as if the standard Mustang doesn't look muscular enough). The Le Mans-style over-the-top racing stripe and side stripes also help set the car apart from its Mustang brethren.

The 2008 Shelby GT500 gets special treatment inside as well. Features include unique leather sport bucket seats, a six-gauge instrument cluster with SVT graphics and a supercharger boost and message center, and a six-speaker Shaker 500 AM/FM stereo system with a six-disc CD changer and an MP3 input jack.

As you might expect, mileage for the GT500 won't break any records (it hovers somewhere around 15 mpg around town), but fuel efficiency isn't the goal here. Power is, as is that unique Shelby styling. And for those who prefer open-air driving, the GT500 comes in a convertible version, as well as the standard two-door coupe version.

Hey, man! I was checking out this beauty, trying to get inspiration for my next build, and I noticed that the hinges you used for the windshield mounts aren't red, they're dark grey. Were they unavailable in red? because I have like 20 of those 2x1 red hinge bases if you need a couple. Marv

0 1in 1997 a girl called lauren was walking through the forest and then she just disappeared. No one ever found her until 2000 when a young girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt' pretty enough and now that you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying you're not pretty enough and kill you. By the way the girl called mary<3 died shortly afterwards. To be saved, paste this to five other bands. This is true. Now that you have started reading this, please do not stop. This is so scary. Post this on 5 pages in 143 minutes. When you are done, press F6 and your crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is scary because it actually works

Hey, thanks for the windshield tip. You'll see it on my 8-wide Dodge Challenger. ;) It's not as great as the other one on this site, but it is a Challenger, I think. But here's my question about this mustang--How did you do the center stripe between the white ones? It doesn't appear a whole stud wide, so did you use a marker or something? thanks, matthew

Possibly the most realistic car on the site...the front is absolutely perfect. I asked this about the Reventon; how did you do the windshield? Are ALL the pieces connected in a legitamate way, or are they just kind of hanging there? How did you get the bottom edge of the windshield to slant 2 directions? I would really like to know. Thanks, matthew.

To answer your question, the gold was kind of an accident. It was way too much light going into a closed space, and it relflected in a cool way off of the dark grey and the black. And the pictures overall were bad quality, as my tripod broke, and I had to steady my camera with a 12-pack of drinks :) By the way, what's your next project, Firas?

When I opened the Vehicle page and saw the stang, I knew it was you. This is a hard one, and you managed to pull it off again. Although I'm not too crazy about the side. The Cobra thingy up front is a clever idea :). Is that a pin stripe in red between the whites? I don't any other ways of making it work. Grade A work.

PS: remember my Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann?(the red mech on my Lazengann page) Well, it's almost complete; I just need a few more tiles and about 100 green flames. I might get Bricklink soon to get those parts. I also need Bricklink for more bley tiles for my Ninja.
