Bangastang 2010 Shelby GT500 Makeover Part 1

Some of you remember the movie "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin  Costner, one of my favorite lines in the film was "If you build it they will come".   At Bangastang we say "If you ship it we will customize it".   Our latest custom makeover is on a 2010 Shelby GT500 that was transported to us from Wyoming to our shop in San Diego.  Here's some Youtube video of the GT500 being unloaded from the semi

The 2010 Shelby GT500 is one sweet machine from the factory but with some upgrades it becomes a BEAST and a show stopper, our #1 goal is to produce a beast and a show car.

Customizing any car can be a long and tedious process.  Our first step was to talk at length with our client Dave P. about his vision and goals for his GT500.  We had several conversations with Dave before we put anything on paper.  Color schemes, accessories, layout, performance upgrades and budget was discussed in detail.  After deciding on a color scheme and  layout we made a call to our friend Danny Whitfield with Autovision http://www.dannywhitfield.com/  for a rendering.  Rendering is vital in customizing and designing any car and Danny Whitfield is a veteran when it comes to rendering and design.  Danny and I spent several hours on the phone kicking around colors choices and graphics.  We wanted a GT500 that would be classy and have the Bangastang stamp on it.  We DON'T believe in butchering a Shelby GT500 ONLY enhancing it with color and accessories.  Our 2010 GT500 project car is black with satin silver stripes.  Nothing looks better than a black car when it's done right.

Our first aftermarket accessory for our project 2010 GT500 was the Trufiber Venom Hood  in carbon fiber.  The Venom Hood is one BAD AZZ hood and in carbon fiber it was a no brainer for this makeover.

When we customize a Mustang or GT500 we do just that customize, we try to leave no stone unturned. We have one talented custom airbrush artist and we let him create a masterpiece that would bring the
GT500 to life with some color and personality.  Here's a short Youtube video with our Bangastang custom painter.

There are over 50 hours into the rendering, design, layout and painting of the Venom Hood.  Here's a Youtube video of the hood after the first of several coats of clear. http://youtu.be/OfEesj2beTE
