Blip Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 :happy feet: Cool, Gary is very quick in getting the interiors done and shipped out. I'll bet TASCA may have other Shelby's nearing completion that SAI is waiting on so they can certify more than one car per trip. Or, perhaps they come out once a month, or something like that. We are very excited for you and hope they get the car out to you soon. :happy feet: Thanks! What I've been told is that the backlogue can reach a dozen or more, mostly SS conversions, but some SGT projects too. It appears that SAI waits until there's quite a few finished, before sending somebody out to certify the whole bunch. We're now caught in the waiting group.

dh777 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Very Nice :happy feet: Glad to see you got the silver bunnies on the interior. We were told we could not get them. I'm guessing that means silver stitching also? I can't wait to see these seats with those gabber inserts! That will be very unique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacRunner Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Awesome photos!! Love that Grabber Orange look!! We will continue wishing and prayers for you and your car. Would love to see the fun you have with that monster Bunny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRT 0403 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 New photos, but latest word is it might not get the SAI "blessing" until October. Now I'm not sure we'll have the "toothless pumpkin" home by Halloween. Just luv the tail end stripe look... Looking great Blip!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all--now if I remember right, think the stitching might also be orange with Rabbit and signature in silver. TacRunner--hope you someday can get that "Blue Bunny" version too.

Yea, Chris (Director of Mod Shop Operations) shows up about once or twice a month at each mod shop to do the dash plaques and engine compartments plaque as well as certify that the car is done. Only SAI in Vegas makes those. It's always been like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only SAI in Vegas makes those. It's always been like that. Yup, aware of that, but it seems the visits out to Tasca only happen every 2-3 months, not once or twice a month. The are other Shelby projects waiting for their official "blessing" besides our Terlingua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Quantum finished my car as quick as they could so I would quit calling and sending emails. But the end is near and all of your Terlingua buddies are waiting for your first road report to begin the celebration.

Blip Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Well it’s the start of another month, and now my car has been there 6 months! Here's the newest twist, while Mod Shop manager was at SEMA, the shop assistant, (and parts ordering guy was let go), so now they are trying to track down the status of some of the parts I requested back in June and confirmed by email in August. Things like replacing the outside mirrors seeing as both had suffered parking lot rash during the car's previous life as a program car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
