I recently had the opportunity to see this incredible car, and I can tell you, the engineering, workmanship and components are TOP NOTCH. His garage and workshops are first rate, and his attention to detail rivals the very best. He plans to have the car finished for this spring, and I cannot wait to see it outside, hear it going thru its paces, and get a ride!
Although I am a dyed-in-the-wool, old-school, stock originality Shelby enthusiast, I have much respect for a guy who applies this level of effort to his take on a modernized 1969 Shelby GT 500.
You have to admit, in our Shelby World, it takes “a set” to do something like this, doesn’t it? And that’s what makes it so darn cool - a man doing his OWN THING in what is a very rigid, structured environment for the rest of us.
Mind you, I’m very comfortable in the rigid, structured (Concours) environment that I choose to live in (that’s my taste) but I think there’s also those of us here who live vicariously thru guys like H.
