vapor08GT500 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I bet you are-I'll have to ask Rob about the Terlingua project, I'm soooooooo out of the loop. I would get a big ticket for trying to keep OR. Plates-The plate renewal in WA has dropped by 100's of dollars in the last 5 years or so. I will tell everyone you said Hi. Take care. I am updating the V8-Vixen Terlingua build tonight with final pictures. She is shipping back to CO on Wednesday... Glad the WA renewal fees went down and that you get your cool personalized plate!! I am so glad you are on here more!! Looks like you both had lots of fun at the show....and even detailing your own car...hehe... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to admit I'm a tad bit obsessive about my car being clean. Wish it weren't so but sad to say I am. The good thing is I'm not as obsessive about Escape as I used to be. Going to check out your thread on the Terlinqua now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarbc Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 What is the planned next "mod" for the red stripe? (I don't know why but every time I see red stripe I think of Jamaican Red Stripe Beer). Prior to "winterizing" and "bubbilizing" it, does Rob plan to treat that rusty axle and make it and black and pretty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanabanana Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 There will be no bubblizing, it sits in a nice warm spot my escape use to occupy. Yes, he will be removing any rusty stuff and painting it too. Helped Rob install one of the "best mods that you don't see" sequential s a must have even if only the people behind you get to enjoy them. He has others arriving some time next week, they are a surprise. :bandance: Going to cars and coffee in the morning, I just wish it weren't so darned early, but since it's going to be hot tomorrow it's probably best.

0201212 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Congrats on the new ride..... Hope to see some mods soon... One day when our kids are out of the house we will buy another one for my wife, so she can have the same enjoyment that we all do. (Yes I do let her drive it) She actually gets to drive it more than me now because I have a Gov that I drive back and forth to work now... The poor SHELBY is not a daily any more...

Tana, not sure if Rob would approve or recommend this, however, I highly recommend it and think you and Rob would love it. I think you should get a White one with Red stripe. (versus Red with White stripe). You also might like the Rally series better or would like a custom one. https://www.speeddawg.com/shift-knobs/racing-series/red-white-stripe Also, there is a very cool airbrushed "REAL FIRE" one of these that would go great in Rob's Grabber. One is going into my Grabber GT and I'll post a picture when I'm done. (check out the website in total). The same guy that painted the hood in a Car Warriors episode did the airbrush on the knobs(and they are subsurface). I also am having them match and make a custom Grabber Orange knob for me too. Chris is fantastic to work with and provides stellar customer service(something lacking in many places these days). Also, Chris will do any custom work you wish --- he'll match your exact colors to your specs(or Ford color spec), he'll put a special GT500 inlay in for you(flush), he'll even put your name or anything you wish on it. I think you and Rob would really enjoy this modification..... Regards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 That shift ball looks great for Tana's car....but who knows how and the heck one would mount it. I'm not into retro fitting a bunch of different threaded inserts and special lock jam nuts and so on and so on. I only like to deal with tried and true mods that are turn key installs. Sure I could order that ball and then get it and then start the brain storming process on trying to figure out how to install it and what other parts to order....but I do not have the time or patience for that. If the vendor sold a "Turn key" install kit for the 2007 - 2009 GT500, I would order it in a heart beat...but he does not. So he loses a sale here. ps Tana loves the look of that shift ball too.

Rob, Get the Shelby shift handle and then get a ball to fit it. It would look great. http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/7s3z-7210-sl6.htm Might need a boot too?

Sherri Leicht Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Just order the Shelby short thro shifter. It is soooooo much better than stock> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarbc Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 WRT shifter, knob, etc., I agree that turnkey and easy installation is a must. I'm the same way. I don't want to jack around with anything for too long because I'm afraid I'll really screw it up and burn a ton of time doing it. Nevertheless, I think it's an easy modification even with the original shifter adapter and the shifter knob will look unique and very cool. I did not suggest the full blown Shelby shifter or MGW shifter because I knew that would be MUCH more effort than a knob. I'll let you know how it turns out.
