1BADGT500 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well I finally got to see a Shelby. The local dealer just got there 1 allotment car. I noticed in two places the stripes overlap. Is it like this on all the Shelbys? I have never noticed anything like this on mine (and I have already waxed it) so I had to run outside and take a quick look. My car does have the overlap on the spoiler and again on the front bumper but it is hardly noticeable and definately does not look anything as bad the posted photos. The areas of averlap on my car are straight and true and are hidden right on the contour line so it is not very noticeable. I would much rather have the overlap than to have them double cut with a razor blade (like splicing wallpaper) since this would cut into the car's basecoat/clearcoat (maybe even deeper) and that definately would not be acceptable. I would say if you buy the car, get em painted on later and forget about it for now, it's not worth the undue stress it may cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68fastback Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 This is why I love this place Bone Doc, I think your sentiments are right-on. Does anyone have any new info on the hot rumor (from two months ago) that Ford will be pulling striping into the plant in the future? Dunno, but that suggests paint to me. Job-2 time would be a good point to do that IF that's the plan. I'd order mine w/o stripes anyway but it's amazing what a macro shot can reveal... and that's a "beauty mark" on Cindy's cheek, not a pimple! <unles it's on a cheek I don't have access to> Also, I see Mazda announced today the launch of a whole fllet of Mazda-6 vehicles at AAI-Flat Rock. I'm guessing that means a third shift? If you recall, Mazda reportedly wants to buy the AAI-FlatRock plant from the Mazda-Ford joint-venture which would likely cause Mustang to find a new home ... in '08??? Anyone have any current insight? -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe striping her overlap would work and if Dave did lick it, I am sure it would clear up his complexion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1977 I drove from Chicago about 90 miles south to a Ford dealer who was one of a few Ford Quadravan dealers.... actually nice open farmland down there -- at least in 77 <lol> that must have been before cookie-cutter strip malls caught on.
