robertlane Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 If you're going to the 2007 NAIAS in Detroit, you'll notice that someone peeled the "S H E L B Y" lettering off of the decklid on the black car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCGT500 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 So how much did you get for the lettering Robert? Do they think it was stolen enroute or at the show, or do you even have a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 So how much did you get for the lettering Robert? Do they think it was stolen enroute or at the show, or do you even have a clue? I knew that was coming We were there everyday during the press reviews and I am almost 100% certain that they were on the car. I think someone yanked them off during the switching of displays from the press to the public preview. I know they moved the white Shelby GT. Come to think about it, I wonder if someone got those too I'll have to go back there and check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylan1521 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 How to they manage to do that unseen??? I really want to know, just in case I make it down there and I see some letters on a car ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well, first you have to bring the construction workers, which are there all day and night a lot of quality brew. It's all part of the bribe. But it can't be just any brew mind you. It has to wear the Molson Canadian label. Less than a six pack will do it, but I bring the whole thing just for good measure. Remember what happened to the Dodge Challenger last year? Also, someone showed their pe'pe to one of the Ford people - twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the lettering on the production Shelby GTs pin installed or stick-on. It looks like these were the stick-ons. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Those were stick on all the way. People have been stealing all types of items from the cars and slashing interior seats, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdci Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 The tape must have been crappy. I know usually you need a razorblade and heat gun to get letters like that off. Plus there's no residue left on the car so they must have recleaned the car because there should be lots of adhesive left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need a razor 7 heat gun if you care about the car you are taking it off of....why would that make the tape crappy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500KR Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 looking at the pictures I see no damage, or residue like someone was very careful removing them, if they weren't I'm sure the emblem itself is crap now, I have done this a few times so I know how easy it is to ruin that shelby emblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, you would be surprised what you can buff out of clearcoat these days. And no, I did not take these either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, I have done it a few times each letter is a pain because the chrome layer buckles up real easy and it's very had to make them right again.......... at least I think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
