FordFan1 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 My installation is complete, the toughest part was drilling the fn bumper support- Warning!!! That thing is a drill bit eater must be made from titanium... It takes some sharp drill bits, a powerful drill and some serious muscle to penetrate it.. MY BUDDY STOP BY TO SHOW OFF HIS NEW TRAILER RAMPS, ALSO TO SHOW HOW HE USES HIS TOW HOOK AND WINCH TO LOAD HIS CAR IN HIS TRAILER. KITS WILL BE SHIPPED ON MONDAY :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurgan Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I probably need to get one of these. Interesting trailer setup. Did he do that just to be able to work underneath the car in the trailer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he do that just to be able to work underneath the car in the trailer ? Yes they are 13" high, it also allows clearance to open the car doors over the in board trailer fenders. The ramps are removeable and can be used on any flat surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ramps are removeable and can be used on any flat surface. I guess this is getting off topic but since you posted it lol....I measured the clearance from the door to the ground and it's about 8.5 inches. All the enclosed trailers I've seen including the one I just bought should be plenty of clearance over the fender boxes which are only like 6 or 7 inches tall. Even so it still doesn't look like enough clearance to open the door and get out from that pic. Sorry for getting off topic, but it was just an observation.

tpow96 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Balance sent as well. Should've done it earlier but got busy with non Shelby things (I know... the horror). I always wanted something to distinguish the car as a RACE Shelby, since that is why I bought it. Subtle and functional... perfect. Thanks. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC2873 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Can anyone tell what I have been working on today? Kerry wasn't kidding about the drill bits! I thought mine were some of the best until I started drilling. Oh well, just another excuse to buy some more tools. Took a break and will try to finish up later this evening.
