This was a cool project I didn't share much about.
Chris brought in this Ford Shelby GT500 for a big brake upgrade and this car is absolutely wild.
If you took a Shelby GT500 and gave yourself an unlimited modification budget, this is pretty much what you’d end up with.
Custom widebody.
Custom paint that looks black until the sunlight reveals a deep purple.
Whipple supercharger.
Upgraded intake and exhaust.
Full custom leather interior.
Carbon fiber steering wheel with built-in LED display.
Upgraded sound system and gauges everywhere.
And now, a Wilwood big brake kit to finish it off.
The build was incredibly well thought out. Chris has some seriously good taste in vehicles.
Getting the brake kit installed was a project in itself. Since the new parking brake assembly required a retrofit, the rear axles had to come out. I installed the new assemblies, parking brake cables, and the correct shims to make sure the pad and caliper mating surfaces were properly aligned.
Then we bled the entire system and took it for a thorough test drive to make sure everything was working exactly as it should.
The result turned out great.
This is one seriously cool GT500.
Thanks for dropping by, Chris! This was a fun one to be a part of.
