switch Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 It would be a nice option if they made a cap available without the snake. I would like to eliminate the GT logo but don't like having a snake for the cap, JMO. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a CS cap available from SPP. These are the two caps available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKindaGuy Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 It would be a nice option if they made a cap available without the snake. I would like to eliminate the GT logo but don't like having a snake for the cap, JMO. Thanks Instructions to make your own. 1. Find the images that have been posted of the candidate faux gas cap emblems. There is an image sheet somewhere on the forum with 8 of them pictured together. 2. Bring your favorite one up in Photoshop and crop it so the respective retangular cropping box just touch upto the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions of the emblem. 3. Then resize the image to a width and height of 2.87 inches each. 4. Print the emblem in color onto matte photo paper. 5. Cut the emblem out of the photo paper right upto to the outer emblem circumference. 6. Get the cut out emblem laminated using 5-gauge lamination. 7. Cut the emblem out of the laminated sheet. 8. Spray clear coat on both sides of the emblem and its edge. This will seal the edges of the laminated emblem now that you have cut the lamination around the emblem. Let it dry for about 4 hours. 9. Buy and attach 3 adjacent strips of 3M #33 double-backing grey colored adhesive with the red colored "pull-off" sticking protector. 10. Cut the 3M adhesive tape overhang from around the emblem edges. 11. Pull the red sticking protector off the back of the emblem and carefully attach over the stock "GT" emblem. 12. Using a small stiff model paint brush (1/8 to 1/4" wide) dip the brush tip in clear coat and apply it to the emblem edges. Do this 2 to 3 times. This step seals the laminate edge of the emblem again and seals it to the 3M backing as well. 14. Apply your favorite wax over the emblem and hand-towel buff lightly. The entire process takes a total of 30 to 45 minutes to do (excluding waiting for the dipped emblem in clear coat to dry) and about $8.00 to make. In regards to clear-coating application you can skip step #8 but at a minimum step #12 must be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BergShelby Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 There will be no cap that will please everyone.... This cap is only another choice for those that want it. A little history. Many of us SGT owners from the old forum believed that the SGT was a special car and one that deserved a special cap. Most of us that started this grassroot request agreed that the cap must be sanction by SAI and that it be exclusive to the SGT. Trying to get 300-3000+ members to agree to anything was next to impossible. I have little fight left in me to discuss snake/no snake/original/new designs. Unless you were there, you will never fully understand all the debates about such a simple thing. Just when someone came up with a good design, someone else would come up with a better one. Only to find out that the design for varies reasons would not be approved by SAI. Then new owners would come on with similar designs that were already turned down. It was an endless debate. It was a pure miracle that we agreed on a single design, let alone SAI agreeing to build them. There is no wrong decision here...your current choices are..... You have supercharge and non-supercharge non-snake options from SPP. You have gas cap ring for existing GT cap, available from SPP. There is a Tiff Snake available from Ford And I know many of you will keep it original. But now we have one more choice. An exclusive gap cap, approved by SAI, using the new style snake..that Cobra DNA that is in all of Shelby's cars. If you want to go down memory lane checking out past designs, or just see what other ideas that were past around. Here is a link to many of the designs that were submitted throughout the 9+ months of debates.

Here is a link to many of the designs that were submitted throughout the 9+ months of debates. Caps that did not make it The single image sheet of 8 different caps you are showing in your "Caps that did not make it" post are the caps I was referring to. I made myself the cap with the silver race stripes on black background (no snake) with Shelby GT in white across the stripes and Shelby's signature across the bottom in white on the black background. It came out fantastic looking and it is the one I would have bought from Shelby had it been the one that CSA picked to be produced. It's a shame the eight on that image sheet were not all picked to be produced by CSA as they were all very good designs and would have allowed a variety of choices. As long as they were produced by Shelby who really cares as to any agreement as it provides a means for everyone to pick what they want on their SGT and yet still be "official" options. As for the demon caps, only an absolute moronic evolutionary knuckle-dragging throwback idiot would put one of those tasteless demon caps on their Shelby.

The individual Terlingua components won't be ready for another 60 days or so though. I also talked to Keith at SPP through email yesterday and he assures me that they have the emblem caps in stock. If you want to order one, have your CSM and VIN numbers handy. SAI and SPP want to ensure that these only go to actual SGT owners so they want to verify your car's numbers before sending it out. I'll post pictures of mine once I get the cap in and on. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilbleak Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 What exactly are the "Terlingua components"? Sorry, that's what I call them since they were used on the Terlingua (SPP and SAI probably call them something else). I'm talking about stuff like the black racing fuel door (actually minus the Terlingua rabbit) and the black quarter window covers (both with the steel rivets). You can see both in the Terlingua picutres in SAI's gallery - here's one showing both the fuel door and window covers: http://www.shelbyautos.com/galleries/TerGa...rGall13-800.jpg. I've been waiting for the non-Terlingua versions of this stuff to come out for a while. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
