Update: Mustang Blog's Project Powerwheels Shelby GT

For those who have been following this powerwheels project you know yesterday was the day I wanted to have this car finished not only to post the photos for everybody but also to give as a gift for my son. Well, I got the car put back together and running with all the parts I bought along with adding the over the top stripes but do to lack of time I threw the towel in at 3am Christmas morning. I got the bulk of what I wanted to do except for the Powered by Ford badge, hood pins and the Shelby GT lettering and side stripes. Those three things will be added in the future along with a battery upgrade for more power to complete the project. The parts I added included the seats, dash, windshield, chrome wheel covers, over the top stripes and I painted the door inlays. I also wanted to remove the rear wing but it was not doable because of how it was molded into the trunk.

To make a long story short my son awoke on Christmas morning and instantly fell in love with the car. He jumped right into the driver seat and wanted to go for a drive. Since he is only a shade over two-years-old he sat in the passenger seat while I managed to drive the mustang sitting on the trunk. With me being 6'4" 215 lbs I can honestly say the car showed no signs of the extra weight as we cruised up and down the street all day long.

All the parts for this project were obtained through HobbyMasters.com, they carry a large selection of parts for all types of Powerwheels.

After the jump I have a few photos of the Shelby GT Powerwheels Project. I will do a side-by-side photo when I get my car washed up sometime this week. Check back for those photos. Enjoy...
