500HP GT Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi GT50035, Did Mr. Shelby actually sign the plaque? If so what type of pen does it look like he used? A Sharpie felt tip pen? Do they coat it to keep it from coming off? I ordered one yesterday for my pre-production GT500 I just picked up used (50k Ford test miles) in OH who bought it at an auction from Ford. I got a letter of acceptance yesterday but today I got another email that said their site was down and I would have to plave another order. Before I go to the trouble I want to make sure he hand signs each plaque. Thanks, MSBMustang "Mark" Saw your car when it was listed on ebay. It's Tungsten, right?

2k7gt500 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Shipment came today... wahoo! :happy feet: With a little TLC using a very small screwdriver, I was able to remove the SVT sill plates intact, for the most part, so I could save them. (for nostalgic reasons?) New pieces went on without a hitch. Pics attached. Happy cruisin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. The guy that chimes in and tells us/me to be patient after they receive their plaque that same day makes me want to throw up a little. We know Bud and SAI are doing the best possible job to get everyone there plaque. I'm glad it's at the children's foundation and gives that much more meaning to it. We will all get our plaques when we get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have sent it to My US mail box. YES !!!! UPS is the biggest ripoff courier company ever...........a box that weighs 2 lbs and a charge of $96 !!!! I tore a strip off them on the phone but that did nothing. Whenever I do buy something on- line (i.e. ebay) I always tell the seller do NOT use ups!!!!! Some good news though..........I didn't know I was getting GT500 sill plates ?? Nice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandro Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Finally it has arrived today! After being one of the first ones to order! It has been driving me crazy checking my credit card daily for the past few months. I'm very happy with the plaque and sills, they are a lot better quality than I expected. Thick piece of billet aluminum. I'm thinking of installing the plaque with velcro for easy removal incase I need to remove it for some reason. I hate to say it but, it was worth the wait.

Hang in there guys. FYI (Tip) - All I did was cut off 1/4" of the red 3M protective tape on the Top & Bottom & left the entire center section alone. This way if I get the 40th or Super Snake package the plaque can come off easier or if I messed up installing it, it would be easier to fix. I checked it again today & it holds on just fine w/o removing all the protective tape it comes with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGT500 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Just wondered if you got the same surprise as I did? Value of goods entering Canada $318. GST and brokeridge fees $96 bucks. I would have sent it to My US mail box. Just for comparison, I brought my own package across the border. $318 was the value, plus GST and PST totalling $41.00. No duty. I'm just 1.5 miles north of the border. I can see my shipper/receiver warehouse in Washington State from my house in B.C. Having anything from the U.S. delivered direct to your home in Canada is very expensive. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait was worth it. The plaque and sills came bubble wrapped in a thick UPS Express box which was in perfect condition [i may even keep the box]. The plaque is really high quality and the signature is definitely hand done. As I sit here looking at it I am amazed how little it takes to bring joy to a middle aged man. Nice work Bud thanks for your help. Coldwater's tip on installation is a really good idea as I also am strongly considering a SS conversion and I know that comes with a plaque also. For those still waiting- be patient the wait is really worth it. banana piano.gif Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am over picking up parts every secound week so these would have come over for no charge. I got them so I guess thats what really matters in the end.
