MY500SS Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'd like to see before and after pictures, and with a little photoshop magic you should be able to overlay them on top of each other. It will be interesting to see what the changed. I've heard from SA that she's "looking better". I'll be sure to post up before and after pics.

mywickedshelby Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Done deal. Bring some driving shoes if you got em. The foot box is kinda small and the pedals are close together. Got it......driving shoes in the suitcase and helmet is being shipped. Thanks Dan.......something additional to look forward to other than seeing all my great friends again! Merry Christmas to you and Marji! Have a safe trip. Ciao Ciao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywickedshelby Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said. Kinda small is an understatement. I just measured my 289 street car and found I had right at 4 inches between the brake pedal and the center hump. Too wide a shoe and you can't press the loud pedal. Thanks 4350........

MY500SS Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Just received word from SA that 7076 will be delivered back to me Tuesday . Now I'll push real hard to complete the SB100 before Holiday. I want to thank Gary P. and his team for stepping up and taking care of my concerns. I again look forward to long and mutually beneficial relationship with Shelby American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks John...................Thanks Dan. I'm setting up appointments all over town to get the inspections completed. DMV Tuesday morning just to make sure I have every question answered followed by receive car, brake-light inspection, CHP inspection, SMOG inspection and back to the DMV to complete registration. I'll have about 72 hrs to finish before we leave for Holiday. I can do it........I can do it........I can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 OK, another dumb question... Why, if you have the SB100, do you need to get it smogged? Actually, that may not be a dumb question, it's probably a dumb beaurocratic answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding (or lack of) is the SMOG inspection station will issue and install the SB100 tag, I believe on the drivers foot box. No sniffer test required.

No sniffer test required. Congratulations (again) Dan, looks like things are finally coming to a close (I hope) with your car. With regards to the SB100 tagging, that will be done by a CARB referee, not by a neighborhood smog test station. Odds are that you will probably have to take the car downtown to Los Angeles College to get the car tagged. That's one of the CARB referee stations in So Cal. The guy there is VERY smart and a nice guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Steve also mentioned a CHP officer located by LAX that could handle the VIN for me. Always nice to have people in the know for help. Thanks brother.

MY500SS Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 7076 made it home . Sorry I don't have any pics. It started to rain as Sam was unloading her so I had to get her indoors quick. I'll post some up when I get home. I think she looks much better. Still a bit forward but now she looks the way I thought she would when I places the order 18 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thanks guys. It's great having her home. Hey Rob, SA cut and reshaped the leading edge of the front fender wells to make more clearance. So far it looks like they did a really nice job. Here is a pic of Sam unloading her at the shop. I'll get a few more posted up this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I want to take this time to say Thank You to the folks at Shelby American. I had a real concern over the issues with my Cobra and you took the time to listen, discuss and resolve my concerns. 7076 is now home and I'm very, very happy with her. My utmost appreciation to John, Gary D, Gary P and the teams they lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My utmost appreciation to John, Gary D, Gary P and the teams they lead. Glad to hear after looking everything over, you are very, very happy with the resolution Dan. Now all you got to do is get her registered before your trip and then make it to the Bash. We are off to Vegas tomorrow for the holidays and plan to stop at SA while there. I'm hoping I'll be able to order the axle girdle tomorrow and pick it up Thursday. We'll see... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
