ItalianStallion Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 After collecting a bit of documentation on my particular 07 Shelby GT500 with the Red Stripe Package, I wanted to somehow display this info while at car shows. I heard of a very nice stand that was stable and capable of displaying a fair amount of documents. The stand was powder coated black, since my car is black, and then finished off with the "GT500" red stripe. There is also a large snake and "SHELBY" lettering along the long axis of the stand as well. To keep everything in place, the stand has a extention at the bottom that enables one to park the front tire of the car on it.After making the shadow box, I realized it was too heavy for the stand, so I lightened its weight as much as I could until it was adequately supported. Need to get a good pic of the completed assembly while outside, but did manage to get a fairly decent photo of it. ItalianStallion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItalianStallion Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 how do you keep it in place on grass and/or asphalt? The stand itself has an extention or "foot" along the bottom. Its all welded together....so you just simply drive the cars front tire over this extention and the stand is fixated in place.

switz Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I got one. Real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08GT500blue Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Very nice I have one of the 1st ones (I own 3 of them) he did back before he offered powder coating that just looks slick. I like your shadow box idea really neat and you can display quite a bit of stuff. I am thinking about upgrading and ordering a new one and do some other stuff to the stand. I agree he was great to deal with he kept me posted on the status of my order overall one of the best places I heve delt with on-line or in person normally over the next I get one email about my purchase and nothing until it arrives.

SkyDancer Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I wanted to somehow display this info while at car shows. ItalianStallion That's not a display...that is a pulpit. While you are at it why not build an alter around it as well with a couple pews in front? It's a car show...let the car be the focus of attention...it will speak for itself.
