lbj Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hmmm, so are there 2 or 3 gauges to the Pillar Pod. In any case, nice to see your car begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageishecker Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hmmm, so are there 2 or 3 gauges to the Pillar Pod. 2 gauges in the naturally aspirated version. The 2 gauge package isn't listed in the GTS options but it is in the GT350. I asked if I could get it in the GTS and they said yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ageishecker Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 It's ready for the wide-body conversion. The paint doesn't look like a perfect match but Richard and Tim both assured me it is. This color changes a lot with different light and angles.

Morgan19d Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've been dieing for updates on the build too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageishecker Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I wish I had a better update. It's been waiting for the wide body to begin for over a month. On about January 9 they told me wide body production had finally begun and there were 14 cars in front of mine. I've heard nothing since then. I'll cut them a little slack since the sales guys were probably all involved with Barrett Jackson last week. I'll be pushing for an update again today.

Jimmy Sak Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 FWIW I heard with the rework of the widebody panels, the dies needed to be reworked. I was told they can only produce 2 kits per week until more dies were made(not sure if if this is for inhouse mods and kits or what?). I'm on the list at about the 25 number, and its looking like after the Bash will be when mine starts. Hopefully the production will pick up sometime soon:-) I can't wait to see some more build pics of yours as well! Best, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ageishecker Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just got an update that the first wide body customer car is going in the paint booth now. Two others are in the body shop. They're projecting completing 3 cars a week, so I guess I'm about 5 weeks out. I don't have a car yet but got my plates from the DMV last week - THANX CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheppd01 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am still going back and forth between a V6 GTS and the new Focus. If I were to order a mustang for the GTS conversion is there an equipment group that is preferred for the GTS build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to order a mustang for the GTS conversion is there an equipment group that is preferred for the GTS build? If it's prefered by you! lol. There is no requirement for the conversion. Mine was just a base V6 with cloth interior and then you have plenty of the premium package ponies that have been converted. It's all up to you on what options you want on your GTS!

PatentMan Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I would have been tempted by the Focus. But I would have ordered the GTS anyway. I basically got the MCA edition just for the 18" wheels to fit the 14'' rotors. It was cheaper than buying the wheel & tire upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageishecker Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I finally made it to the front of the line for the wide-body installation. Richard sent me pictures yesterday of my car back on the lift in the Production area to begin disassembly of all the stuff that needs to come off for the body work to begin. The bad part is my April is already so booked I won't be able to get out there for the museum delivery until early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ageishecker Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 But what are they doing to the body? I was just unaware of body mods on those panels when doing the conversion. They're putting on the wide body panels that go over the original sheetmetal. This for the wide body, not the basic GTS conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
