lbj Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 My wife and I own the Colorado Ice Professional Indoor Football team in Northern Colorado. We are in the IFL. http://www.thecoloradoice.com Our business was one of the sponsors of the Windsor Colorado Cruise In yesterday. As such, I took the show tag number off my Shelby GTS so people wouldn't vote for it. I was surprised by the many requests I got from people who wanted to vote for it, however. It's not like it was going to win or anything anyway. I was very busy promoting my team, so the only photos I have were taken by my staff of people in our area, looking at the GTS. I have used my Shelby GTS as a promotional item three times this year. Here are some pictures from yesterday: http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd135/spazlbj/CruiseIn17_zpsccb560de.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbj Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 About an hour before the show, I had washed the car and discovered a carbon film that accumulated on the rear that I could not remove. It's been building up for the past year. I ended up using painters tape to isolate the stripes on the back and used Megiars cleaner wax on the stripes. It worked really well and removed the stains entirely. I think eventually I will do all the stripes with the cleaner wax to remove hard water spots.

Denstang65 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Ibj I really love the look of your GTS. The rims look awesome. Love the color. The blower accents the rims. The blower must feel better than it looks, too! If I was able to buy a GT and ship it to Shelby, I would have it done like yours. Two thumbs up from me!

lbj Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 SAI really built me a beautiful car. It may not be the fastest car on the planet. it's a bit loud. It's a little raw. Even a little uncivilzed even. It's stiff. It's precise. Some componets like the improved UCAs make things a bit noisy in the cabin. But it's fun. It's exhiliarating. It looks incredible. And yet all those things that some may think I was negative about in my description, are things about my Shelby GTS that have turned into feelings of endearment. The sum total of it is mechanical poetry in motion. I had a choice, I could to do dark and sinister or bright and cheery. I chose the latter.
