jbfabricator Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Here is a thought. Remember, just a thought and it is ruff. What if they put a honeycomb decklid trim panel and put it on the back of the car. Put the Shelby letters in it, much like on the C6 grille. I would prefer the Shelby letters on the GT500. You could then have GT in one lower corner and a small Ford oval or Powered by ford in the other. I am not sure what this would look like on a white Shelby though. He is a photo.....ruff....just a thought.... :unsure: Photo removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Shelby changes the gas cap look with a SGT type faux gas cap then that will be enough, I like most everything the Shelby design team puts out.

SAI-John Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Great ideas guys. Keep 'em coming. We talked to the production side of this idea and they are as interested in this as we are. This IS going to come into production. Shelby Forever- John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This IS going to come into production. Shelby Forever- John John, Bud, Amy if this cap goes into production , i think it should be called the DMAG57 cap , since i started the thread , this is only a sugestion and since it brought all the shelby people in to one unified family and i would like to see the number of each car on the cap now you really have something special ....i just threw another penny for good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 and i would like to see the number of each car on the cap now you really have something special ....i just threw another penny for good luck I see your penny and raise you one....... :D How about this................take the pic below, use the CS logo and signature just as it is and then the CSM number on the bottom.............. that gives you the Logo, the signature and the CMS number.....the design is already there. Just the # missing. It would match the "Official SGT" shirt. Smaller version for the steering wheel. Just like 65-66. And all the colors, black, silver, white for the exterior. For the interior, black, parchment (signature), dove gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerS Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 no just to crowed on the cap i just think it needs to be simple mu opinion What if you got rid of the FORD and enlarged the logo just a little and rounded the CSM #? I already created that many posts before. Here it is with number. In the above post, another idea, remove the FORD and replace with the CSM # and leave the logo with the signature. Contour the CSM as with the letter's FORD. That would clean up the and simplify. And another variation would be leave the signature out, replace FORD with the CSM and enlarge the logo just a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 ....OMG, that would very very cool but about impossible. I have been away from my car too long but isn't the FORD molded into the plastic piece. Therefore, is the CSM going to be molded. Wouldn't you need a new mold for each one ordered?

I would think so Chris. Yes it does look like an impression. Don't know if there would be any other way. But the more I think about it the more it appeals to me.

It really doesn't look too bad. It cleaned up the cluttered look somewhat. Don't know if it is possible but where the FORD was, if someone could insert a CSM number, with the same "font", in it's place.......that would clean up the center even more. Just another thing thrown into the pot. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another thing thrown into the pot. :P i think were trying to re event the wheel , i think we have to leave the ford where it is and just replace the emblem ...easier for SAI, i just think we have to make cleanier and easier to read again the number and csm in the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman340 Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi all!!!!!!! What we are going to produce---thanks to all of you---is going to be a insert cover, not the whole cap. This is going to fit right over the center insert. Easy to install--nothing to remove. As for the CSM# idea. I love it, but it would be way too much work to produce. For every insert you make, you have to change the cutting dyes. It would take too long to do and it would not be cost effective to produce. Plus, I just went through ordering around 600 dash plaques. What a nightmare that was. Making sure the number was correct, double checking them when they came back, then matching the plate with the persons name, processing the order and then shipping it out. Just doing those took almost 3 1/2 to 4 months. And I am still working on the remaining ones now. Yes, the idea of having your CSM# on the insert was a FANTASTIC idea, it is just not realistic at this time. Keep the idea coming!!!!!!!!!! Maybe by the end of next week, we will have a winner and a BRAND NEW gas cap insert!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when you brainstorm the compromise IS the solution. I'm sure with the ideas of all of the members it gives SAI a running start. Some work, some don't. I can imagine how the 600 dash plaques could eat up a great deal of time. :blink: I think the involvement of the company on the boards shows the commitment of management to listen to the core group of buyers, process the feedback and react with a solution. Great business acumen. You guys have a lot to be proud of. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Pony Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Ok, I copied this from my other post. Hi all!!!!!!!! Its cool. No offense taken on anything. Thats why I said it was just an idea. As for the cobra, that was used for the CS6/CS8's. Maybe something like the running pony with Mr. Shelby's signature going through the middle of it? Hey anything is possible. Maybe if I get permission, I can turn this into some sort of contest. Prixe could be something like--you get the first cap cover and an autographed diecast or something? Whatcha think? Bud Love it, let's get started. Joe My only suggestion is that the GT on the back be different than a stock GT. They have the California Special GT, it has a special cap. Why not something different for the Shelby. Leave the GT but just make it look like the GT in the fender stripe. Power by Ford would be okay but it should have Shelby mixed in there. I agree.
