By SID297

Few things automotive related are sadder than seeing a once great vehicle resigned to life of near DD-level mediocrity after a minor fender-bender.  That was situation in which SVTP Member Mike93SVT found his project 2010 Shelby GT500 Mustang.  Not satisfied to see a such potential wasted Mike bough the car and began the painstaking process of resto-modding the SVT to better than new condition.

Mike isn’t stopping at simply repairing the botched fix from the front-end impact the car had suffered at the hands of its previous owner.  He is making this project a full-on  build; complete with suspension mods, cams, a ported blower, and upgraded heat exchanger.  Click the link below to follow Mike’s progress:

Porting the factor supercharger will likely help the car pick up a few horsepower. Unfortunately, this beautiful work will be hidden once everything buttoned up.
