Thanks for the pictures I enjoyed them (your configuration) but you helped confirm my suspicion ![Stick Out Tongue](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Deff a neat looking truck for sure, and the racerback goes with your ground effects package but they kind of go hand in hand. I'm shooting for a "clean aerodynamic look" minus the boxy front end and squared lines I'm shooting for with the paint but what I don't like is how the racerback has a tapered outward flare to it...along with the spoiler.
I was wondering if a visor would be too much with a fastback but by the looks of yours they will go together well, speaking of since your a Mopar fan would you happen to know if there are two or more different versions of the visor? I swear I have seen some without lights (not painted over) and the top of them do not have a split or curve they are more flat and smooth?
I like your roll pan! I am most likely going with a straight roll pan like yours rather than the wedged version for the plate in the middle, one thing that might be a first but I feel strongly about with my scheme is using a tailgate net with a roll pan so the rear looks netted like a racecar window not to mention the functionality of being able to see where your backing up. I want to mount the net differently though and have it flush with the body line (flush like the tailgate would have been). With those AMC wheels it will really be different, have you seen my interior?

Let me know if it's at the scrap yard, yeah I thought it was! Looks good is that as smooth as they get I still see some lines in the middle, I was going to try and blend the visor right into the roof with fiberglass and bondo.
My interior is still a work in progress and I should really take some new pictures but I started swapping out panels for grey as you can see...not much left besides the dash and door panels plus the headliner that needs to go! I put a sweet dome light in that flip out, came out of a Dakota. GMC rear view mirror with map lights, BMW power leather buckets (heated). Started ripping out the carpet which is out now, installed some wood grain I thought it complimented the leather..I will sew some leather into the door panels as well and probably the sun visors too. I need a new pic with the center console I took out of a VW it had leather interior so the console matches my seats (non-leather console but black) this way I have a hand brake to mess around with:

Seats required custom brackets to be made out of the outer rear bench feet welded to steel plates:

The seat belts themselves are from a Mustang GT wound onto a Dakota spool with BMW male clips for the seat buckle, also the BMW belt mounts are sewn onto the Mustang belt:

Still alive and kicking folks
I was never listing these for sale it was a wanted-post. I did end up purchasing an original Shelby fastback from moparnut38 above about 10 years ago and still have it to this day but it will never be for sale lol. Try contacting moparnut38 he has some treasures packed up. Let me know if he does not respond...I have his personal contact information. Cheers
