Your truck #202 was part of a large shipment of trucks, #200 to #212, sent to Bob Dance Dodge in Florida back in March of 1989. So sit back, get comfortable, post some pics, ask some questions and enjoy the ride. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 You guys are making me look bad with all the great restorations you're working on. My poor truck is still sitting in need of some paint applied to the primer. No I haven't primered the truck its just that all the factory paint decided to fly off into the sunset. You white Shelby Dakota truck owners know what I'm talking about. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it looks so bad I'm worried it might break my camera, but it does have potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been collecting parts for awhile. The last part I need is the valance or light housing that goes under the front bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 By my count we have at least four Team Shelby members currently doing Shelby Dakota restorations, heck it could be five if I would get busy. Well technically I'm doing a mini restoration on one of mine. New decals, new headliner, new tires, new windshield, bumpers powdercoated, chasing a few squeaks & rattles. So I guess I can be included in the restoration crowd. Good work everybody. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota561 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Welcome hwhunter, from another Texas Shelby Dakota owner. Good luck on the rebuild. Went to get mine out of the barn a couple of weeks ago & the headliner was drooping down. I guess thats what you get when it is kept in an uninsulated metal building in west Tx. I do keep a pretty heavy cover on it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Carroll's low mileage Dakota's here in California droop. The problem isn't the glue but the foam backing on the headliner cloth that disintegrates so the glue stays on the headliner board but the cloth drops by gravity. It can not be re-glued. The cloth material needs to be replaced for a correct fix. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
