Pastor Passum Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Today was one of those rainy, drizzley, foggy days, all day long. I went to the garage to do a little work. When I went in, the vehicles were all dry but after about 20 minutes with the door open they were all wet and covered with mist. I closed the door and started to dry the Shelby when I noticed writting on the windshield. Obviously it was from residue from a grease pencil or whatever they use to denote what has been done and what's next. Although the car has been washed several times the writing is totally not noticeable when dry or wet from rain or washing. The notes read; On the drivers side, inside a circle that's been checked off FRONT BUMPER 3/7/07 On the passenger side READY TO GO BACK TO SHELBY AMERICA F.F.B.S. SPOT BOTTOM FRONT COVER 2/28/07 Anyone have any ideas about the spot bottom front cover or the initials F.F.B.S. Actually, I know eventually it will totally wash off but I kinda like the idea of the record of assembly :happy feet: Maybe you can see one of the notes here Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 That's cool - I need to figure out how to duplicate your "misting event". It's not as humid up here in CT. I guess you should never clean your windows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would think spot would refer to spot painting. It will never be humid enough in Pheonix for me to duplicate that condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
