1967 SHELBY GT500 – GETTING THE RESTO-MOD TREATMENT
Initially, the 1967 Shelby GT500 was brought in for repairs but plans
quickly changed. The goal with the build is to create a premium Resto-
Mod that looks original but can be driven hard. Consequently, it will
retain its 1990s aluminum 427 crate engine and receive upgraded modern
suspension components.

It’s important to note that the GT500 has lived a life of racing, and
the Barrett-Jackson Builds Team has been hard at work repairing and
remedying all the things that brings.
Currently, the GT500 is in its final primer stages with plans to be painted
a traditional Wimbledon White. The body will be bolted back together to
receive Guardsmen Blue LeMans stripes painted on, and then taken apart
once again, to have the clear coat applied to each panel individually. This
method means the stripes will be “buried” into the overall look, rather
than the stripes sitting on top of the paint, as is traditional.
Prior to receiving paint, the Builds Team will test fit the engine and its TFX
6-speed transmission to ensure that no further body work will need to be
completed.

Once the bodywork and paint are ready, the team will start fitting the
Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame front suspension and a HEIDTS independent
rear suspension.
1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO – DYNACORN-BODIED RESTO-MOD MAKING HEADWAY
The Barrett-Jackson Builds Team is also creating an incredible Grand
Touring Resto-Mod: a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, which will combine classic
muscle with modern performance.

The team started with a fully licensed 1969 Chevrolet Camaro body from
Dynacorn, and has just received a carbon fiber rear decklid, rear spoiler,
hood, windshield wiper cowl, the header panel that goes between the
front fenders, and the front air dam from BlackTeck.
