switch Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I'm looking to remove the drivers side visor to have CS sign it. What is the best way to remove it properly. I see that there are 2 torx screws that mount to the headliner, do I remove these or is there another way. Thanks for a reply. Never mind. Took out the 2 torx bolts. Easily done.

Don't try and pull the visor off the rod. I attemted to do this and I think I screwed it up. I can't seem to get it put back entirely. Have to visit the dealership and see if they can put it back in place before I send mine to CS. Good luck. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT1171 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm thinking of sending my visor in for an autograph. But was wondering which side to have signed. I thought the inside would be nice, but the vanity mirror is there. Maybe just have the back plate of the mirror signed. Or maybe having the outside signed is better? Not sure then which end should be the top of the page(so to speak). How is everyone else doing it? Any precautions? Any thoughts are welcome.

Just got mine back with CS signature on it. Looks great. Just wish they followed my instructions to put #273 under the signature. Oh well, better than a stick in the eye. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the visor and a check for $215.00 to: Carrol Shelby Childrens Foundation 19021 S. Figuora St. Gardena CA 90248 Be sure to tape a sheet with your name and address to whatever you send in case it gets seperated from the box.

lonnyreed Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 You can send items, almost anything from what I have heard, to Carroll Shelby's Children's Foundation in California. $200.00 for the signature, plus $10.00 return shipping for an item like the visor, maybe more if the item is bigger. I know there were posts here previously, do a search on Carroll Shelby signatures and you;ll probably get the exact address, etc. APPARENTLY I TYPE WAY TOO SLOW............ Just got my airbag cover put back in today with Carroll's autograph on it. Finishing touch to make #310 PERFECT! Airbag removal and replacement at dealer.....$150 Shipping...$15 Donation to CS for Autograph....$200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelby69 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 The link to Carroll Shelby's signature is on the bottom of Shelby Auto's homepage...Did anyone really answer the visor removal question? I haven't seen my Shelby yet, but, hope the removal is fairly straight-forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil CS signed the outside of the mirror door, so when you flip the visor up, TA DA!

SGT1171 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks Joe Rod, and everyone. Sounds like it it only takes minutes to remove also. So easy a cave man could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess after wifey has hers signed,I'll be forced to have her keep it in the garage,and let her drive it ONLY,when I'm in front of her,to protect our investment. P.S. ....

switch Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 By the time I took the 2 torx bolts out that hold the visor in and received back with his signature on the cover of the passenger mirror was approx. 3 weeks. SWEET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE GLOVE BOX DOOR OR TOP OF CONSOLE. I guess it's all a matter of risk tolerance. I would rather have it front and center and take the risk of it being ruined. In an accident, there will probably be more than the airbag that get's ruined. The car was made to drive, and we are driving it....many miles...many smiles.

SWEDESHELBY1 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Send the visor and a check for $215.00 to: Carrol Shelby Childrens Foundation 19021 S. Figuora St. Gardena CA 90248 Be sure to tape a sheet with your name and address to whatever you send in case it gets seperated from the box. Does CS actually do his business in Gardena Ca? I thought that he was in Las Vegas where the facotry is? If this is so why would they want the visor etc... sent to Gardena and not to LV? That makes me wonder if someone else is signing them, darn I hate to say that but it has been done before with many celebrities? Just a question looking for an answer. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 .....unless I am mistaken Mr . Shelby's Foundation (that is where the donation and signature go), a Museum, and Carroll Shelby Enterprises are all in Gardena. According to the people at SAI, Mr. Shelby spends very little time in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
