    85' Shelby Charger maybe hybrid/maybe 8v/ Build thread

    Ok well I figured maybe if I post up a build thread it would motivate me to work on the car. So here it is 85' Shelby charger, bolt in cage. It currently needs a lot of work to say the least, needs front floors welded in and basically everything else lol. I haven't decided whether I want to build a hybrid or just stay 8 valve, need some input. Here are the most current pics I have of the car, all of the gfx are off and the interior is gutted now:

    Jim, it's like we go through the same cars! I recently got an '85 SC too, still have the Sundance project also.

    I like 8 valve for the SC, but would be fun either way.
