Torch40 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I love the 40th dash plaque but I like my signed GT500 plaque also. So I removed the 40th and put the signed plaque on so I can look at Shelby's signature for a while. Current 40th plaque looks cool. Official plaque removal tool, hard plastic spatula right out of the kitchen. Slide official removal tool under corner of plaque and slowly work it under. When you have enough space get your fingers under just slowly lift it up. No fuss, no muss Sweet looking signed plaque now in place until I feel like changing back. I only expose about 30% of the tape. It's plenty strong and is easy to take off. Even without the official removal tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Now take that 40th dash plaque and send it into the Childrens Foundation and have Carroll Shelby sign it. Have him put Carroll on the left side at a slight angle, and Shelby on the right side at the same slight angle. You will then have a very unique plaque and the best of both worlds. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporDude Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 That spatula should be in the parts store for $49.95. Don't forget to trademark it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelTownStang Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I was thinking about using velcro on mine when it comes in, however, only exposing some of the 3M is a great idea. Most people buy these cars to keep for a very long time, I mean, why else spend $400.00 on a dash plaque w/ a signature and the VIN? However, if a decision is made to sell it, then I'd absolutely remove it... unless other arrangements were made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCD Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I noticed lots of guys will only remove some of the backing so the plate is easier to remove later... Don't forget that also makes it easier for a thief to peel it off too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcobra Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looks great. I had that plaque on my car when it went in for the 40th conversion. I asked them to leave it on and I have the 40th plaque put away for safe keeping. Good to know about the special removal tool, should I ever decide to swap it out!
