SSsnake's Bodyshop Stablemates

As many of you know, my V8 MGB with the full custom body is in the shop for final work & paint....thought you might like to see some of the other cars in the same shop....so, the next few posts will highlight them.

The first car is a Mustang fastback that they're turning into an Eleanor replica....full fiberglass body kit, 700hp engine, Eleanor instruments & interior, - the "full Monty"...when its finished it'll look just like the one in the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds"....right now they're painting the hood, trunk, & doors & applying the Eleanor stripes.

(If you look closely, you can see SSsnake in the background of the 1st photo.)

After Eleanor is finished in the paint booth, this 500hp Mustang convertible that's getting a full Shelby kit goes in the paint booth....& by then, my car will be ready for the booth.

After my car, SSsnake (1st photo), the big old Chrysler sedan (2nd photo) should be back from getting its V8 engine installed....& then the coupe (3rd photo) should have a Nova front frame/suspension & Jaguar rear suspension under it & be ready for bodywork.....& a friend's Mirage MGB GT should have arrived at the shop by then to have its rusty panels replaced & a new Mirage paint job applied.

That's how far out this guy schedules his classic car work! (The new Mustang convertible only got in because its his son's car!)
