Thanks, I guess the worst thing would be it falls off again.

The first rule of Italian driving. What's-a-behind me, does not-a-matter.

OK, I know it's the middle of winter, but just in the garage checking on car.

Take the cover off driver's side and look in.

The rearview mirror is sitting on the console. I blink a few times before it registers that it doesn't belong there.

So what's the best adhesive to reattach it to the windshield?

GT500KR convertible #4201 Highland Green, Black Interior, Black top, before anyone asks about GT350/500/500KR, early/late, fastback/convertible, etc.

First TeslAm on the streets

I would think they would use Ready Kilowatt, rather than a polish chicken.

Found this in the garage, with a can of polish.

I want to say this is from SAAC 3, 1978. But, I'm not 100% sure.

What offends my delicate sensitivity is that a story about a 1967 Shelby, real or imagined, is in the 1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR topic.

When? Link isn't working.

Was working last night, now in maintenance mode.

Was missing some information, so hopefully adding that now.

No e-blast, so they probably aren't quite ready to announce yet.

June 16-18 at Indy has long been the favorite guess.

I was hoping for at least another month of speculation.

Steve, congratulations and welcome to the 50+ years of Shelby ownership club!

Oh great, another Shelby Club. I guess I've paid my dues.

We're like the kids in the back seat, "Are we there, yet?"

Just like the perennial: "Where and when is the Convention."

No one may have the answer, but that doesn't stop the question.

If nobody cared, nobody would ask,

It starts with just a small Snoopy tattoo on your arse....

Got missing windshield chrome piece on, to replace duct tape.

I was only seven years old when this went down.  I wish I could have attended but my dad was handling a Texaco gas station at the time and a broken marriage so going to a Trans Am race would have been far off of his radar screen at the time.  If only I could go back in time as an adult to see one of these races with all the greats there and the great cars.

Thankfully the advent of the motion picture camera kinda helps, right?

I was old enough to see this race, but didn't go. Would you trade being 21 in 1970 for being 14 years older now?

shelbydoug: "When you watched the race in person, my thought was find a place that was the safest you could find because it was inevitable that there was going to be a major accident and as a spectator you didn't want to be involved in that."

Is this how you felt then? I know at the races I did attend back then, that was the furthest from my mind. Looked for the spot where those kind of events were more likely to happen. You were probably more mature.

A big thanks to Bob Gaines, I was really struggling getting my steering wheel off, tried the knee pressure trick, latest was shoe strings attached to a a puller and many others with no success. Then ran across past post from Bob talking about using an air hammer. Finally came off!  Thanks!  That's what makes the forums so great.

Sorry to hear the shoelaces didn't work for you, but glad to hear you got it off.

And voila! Two days and it works. (union shop)
