    Project? That looks mint! I had an 85 silver/blue but traded it for an 89 t-top shelby D. Then someone killed it.

    just clean up the engine bay, get rid of some of the goofy stuff that it has right now
    clean up the gauge setup and fix the factory tach
    really not anything big at all

    Re: 1895 Shelby Charger Silver/Blue

    couple update pics,
    engine bay is looking a whole lot better, going to go pick up some gauges from brad tonight
    fix the factory tach over there and then all it really needs is the gauges hooked up and a FPR
    I'm also going to change the IC to a spearco and change the piping to fully remove the 5th injector

    Looks good John, Much improved already on the wiring.

    Now the only thing that bugs me about it is the tires, big-n-littles just aren't doing it for me.

    You need a kick panel for it? I think I've got a few blue ones.

    Thanks dave
    I'm going to do something about the tires soon,
    i hate that and the side exit
    want to trade for a gray one?
    i also need another shifter, black trim around the shifter, and the storage box in blue

    Re: 1895 Shelby Charger Silver/Blue

    thanks guys!

    i have a quick question, what wires run the fuel pump?
    the cars not getting fuel and i ran direct wires from the pump to a battery and it fired up but only runs on whats left in the lines...
    i took a ton of wires off including the 5th injector setup so im assuming it had something to do with that..
