Looks great Earl! Good job on the wheelie Thor!

Afret, did you reposition the upper A arms (Shelby drop) ?
I notice the front wheels are pretty straight while off the ground.
What kind of front springs did you use n the car? I need to order some for my stocker project and I'm not sure what to use. When I ran my '67 coupe in sst I used 6 cyl. Springs but all they did was lead to flattened headers.
Thanks Mike7570

The car already had the UCA drop when I bought it.

I think it has the Moog 8306 springs.  They were also in place when I got the car.  The headers have survived with only a couple small spots that hit so far but we've lost a couple of oil pans.

Gosh you guys...I wanna play too!

Earl, I'm sure glad you and Thor got together and are running the car.

It looks great hang'n the hoops!

Hey, you and Mrs-T have to hurry up and retire and move up here to North ID.

That looks great! Nice job on it all.
 Besides reduced weight is there any engine advantages to it being a Shelby? I know the 67 and 68's seem to have some odd specs.

Tom, if you click on engine specs button at the bottom of the link I posted on page 2 it will show you the engine specs that can be used for a 69 Shelby.
