savage1969 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 That's a good question....do the new hood pin bases have the same screw pattern as the originals? The sight does not say if they are direct replacements. I guess we will know soon enough, it depends on who is going to bite first. I'm up for trying.

Let's hope someone was forward thinking and specified the same bolt pattern. Would be a shame to throw up a sales obstical to 5000 of your customers that might find this item attractive.

07SGT0547 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I saw them at Tulsa, and they are direct replacements for the OEM pins... Made out of stainless steel and much more "durable" than the originals... They also have some black anodized ones (prototype for now) and also had ones with the word SHELBY etched in them... Didn't have time to take pics, but they do look like a much better solution... Not only are they adjustable, so they can fit better... The base has a rounded edge where the pin itself actually "rides" instead of just "hanging" there... I'm sure they will be on my Christmas list here shortly...

savage1969 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 good to know. thanks for the input. do they seem too "tall" off the hood in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT0547 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Didn't get to see them on an actual car, as everything they had was still in the package... However, they probably aren't going to be anymore noticable than the "screw-down" type from the late 60's SHELBYS... Just different than what it looks like now... And I wouldn't be surprised if they actually made their way onto the hood of the production SuperSnake... Pure speculation on my part, but they would look perfect on the SS Hood... Still be the "correct" type to match the 1967 Shelby with a pin and lanyard, but a lot nicer appearance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I am still waiting to see the lower grill lights on the site. I was hoping they would be on there yesterday. They just like us to be in suspense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT0547 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I asked about those as well at Tulsa, and they said they didn't have any with them. Nor did I see them in the printed version of the catalog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhugger Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Funny, I actually had the driving lights installed on mine while at SAI. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mffarrell Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Has anyone tried ordering yet? They take a long time to process orders. My order 3 days ago is still unapproved *Sighs* Same here. I ordered the day the site went online. How do you get a status on your order? I emailed Shelby yesterday, but no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshawk Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I ordered stuff yesterday and my CC is still not charged, and no response to my emails. This is not comforting. If I'd known it would take this long I would have ordered my part from another vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Last I recall the hang up on ther lower lights was them having a wiring kit made up in volume. I think they were making them up as needed. Hopefully yhey willbe out soon. Im not going to bug them as everytime they have to come on here and answer questions it takes them away from what they actually do at SAI.

I talked with Keith on Monday since I actually placed an order before you guys and he said there were numerous boxes received from SAI he had to go through. He indicated there would be a delay of a few days while they got organized. After all, Monday the 18th was the official kick off day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage1969 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 No need to unpack the boxes. Just call UPS and have it all sent to me. My credit card # is.......... Oh....sorry, daydreaming again! LOL Seriously, have you guys checked out the new shock tower brace? Can't wait for Fall now. Freakin' thing is awesome. Only thing is that it might be a little difficult to get the dip stick out the side (compared to the FRPP unit we have on the SGTs). It might not fit over the FRPP blower either. For those that have the Paxton, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytonprowler_merged Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I talked to Keith today. They are putting together a NEW brake duct and fog light kit. Scott Drake Enterprises did not care for the current set up that they are using on the SGT at the Las Vegas factory. He said hopefully they would have a mock-up in 2 weeks. I talked to Keith today.

jbfabricator Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I was on the Shelby Perf website and noticed that there are some new hats and other apparel items. Is there any way that Bud or Amy could get some low profile hats? I like baseball style caps that sit low, not like a stovepipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage1969 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 +1 for low profile caps! And that is great news on a potential new kit. Hopefully they don't re-design the lower grill as mine is already installed. You guys that had SAI install your duct/light kits may have an increased value point as they might be more desirable of a collectable later down the road. Just thinking....
