supersnake junkie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just a question for all you Bash veterans. With the Bash door decals,are they easy to remove them from the doors and save them,or as I have read some people use magnets to put them on. What is the best answer and what would be the type of magnets would I be best to bring with me? Thanks in advance for your replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookwyrm Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 We kept the backing paper and saved ours last year, and it wasn't too hard to peel off. Probably going the magnet route this year though since it'll make them more re-usable. I'd love to know what magnetic sheets others used for them though since some of the reviews aren't too confidence inspiring for them actually staying on the car at highway speeds, let alone on the track.

supersnake junkie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Cool,I think like you....the magnet route would be a good option but as you said not so inspiring! Hopefully we can get more feedback on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I did that with my 50th bash decals. I put them on the car during the bash then took them off. I later took them to 702 graphics in Vegas and they created an exact replica of them and put them on magnets. So now I have a set that is magnets and my original bash decals that i put away.

supersnake junkie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks Guys,seems these answers will help me decide which way to go or not. I will decide on the day of registration and go the route that seems the best option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookwyrm Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I was more looking for what brand/size of magnetic sheet people have used in the past. I don't recall anyone who'd put them on magnets at last year's bash losing them so was hoping to get the same ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersnake junkie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 They replies that I have had so far has mixed ideas,but Mcquirk said that people buy/bring larger pieces of magnetic material and then stick the decals to them and then trim them to the decal before putting them on.

bad93 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I got my magnets from local sign shop and never had any trouble.They lay tight to the door and look great.Never a problem at high speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnf Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Same here. Except, I ended up buying a roll of the stuff a couple of years ago. Through my business I have an account with a supplier who carries the magnetic sheeting. Bought the heavy duty version so I didn't have to worry about high speed being an issue. I think you can buy individual cuts on Amazon. Or any local sign shop will have it on hand as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Sak Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Anyone have the measurements? I was wondering if they were wider than 24"? I found a 2x3 foot roll and wondered if that would suffice for both sides? I thought they were less than 1 1/2ft tall, but could be wrong there as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Bookwyrm Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 They're about 12x20" (measured last year's and that's what Michael said when asked in another forum too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm getting more excited about the Vegas trip now. My in-laws decided to come along for a little vacation in their coach, so I'll be sharing driving duties in this beast pulling my enclosed trailer. I was dreading the trip out there pulling my trailer with my truck over all the passes. I think my trailer is going to look like a toy behind this, but it will be fun! With 2,025 ft lbs of torque, the mountains are no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 WOw, that's some truck/trailer! What kind of engine delivers 2025ft-lb ??? How many HP? My little Dodge Ram 1500 did breathe a little harder than normal coming out here with a U-haul being towed behind it. It was able to keep up to the speed limit all the way but it sure was revving higher than normal on the same passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denstang65 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am guessing they have anywhere between 400-500 HP in semis, but it is all about torque in rigs. I used to drive them so I know what they are like. Nice setup. If I ever win the Lotto, I would definitely get a rig to pull my tribute as a track car! You are so lucky. Have fun with it!

JeffJ Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 The 2013 Cummins ISX 650hp was bumped from 1950 ft lbs to 2025 ft lbs. This engine is not available in over the road trucks. Most of the Renegade IKONs have the 600hp ISX or 560 DD, but my in-laws opted for the 650hp to tame the Colorado mountains. And let me tell you, it worked, you can set the cruise control at pretty much whatever speed you want going over the passes and it doesn't even think about it.

silversurfer Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Nice rig! We are putting the cars on a transport tomorrow and flying out on the 12th. They will be waiting for us at the hotel when we land. Our first bash and coming from Orlando, FL! We are with the South Atlantic Region Team. We will be hanging with Bob Zinzell. If everyone did not know, his team will be building the Team Shelby Challenge cars in the coming months. He may even be taking orders at the bash! Looking forward to a great time, great company and great cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
