AKA Blackbird by Shadowman

[Chris A.]

Well after a long wait for parts I finally was able to send my gal up to Shadowmans facility. He made some well planed out mods to my car and in the process renamed her "Blackbird", and you can see why. Some other members refer to her as the Bat Mobile due to the the flames that are often exiting from the back. I'm just glad to have her back home. Shadowman took such good care of my car that it literally came back in better condition then when he received it (Thats another story).

He went through my car and addressed EVERY issue existing in it and made some great mods such as the Doors, Boost Gauge, Rear view mirror with camera, Shadowman Sub-woofer relocate, Kip's center storage install, 06 Grill & an Ipod cable terminated in Kip's storage. I'm sooooooo happy with everything he's done and the attention he lavished on my car....I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH SHADOWMAN!!!


This brings the current list of mods to the following:

Ford Racing Headers
Borla Exhaust
Upswept Doors
Bumper Delete
Lowered
Momo Shifter Ball
Short Throw Shifter kit
Venture Shield
Transaxle Breather Cansiter
Shadowman Halon System
Accufab Throttle Body
Pulley & Tune
Kip's Center storage
Ipod adapter
Rearview mirror w/ screen
FreeFlyer's Boost Gauge
Interior light by Shadowman
06 Grill/Screen
Sub-woofer relocation

Anyone that can tell me if there is a set of those hinges out there that someone wants to sell, let me know, or if they are still available!!! My car REALLLLLY needs them.

Your car looks GREAT!!!! I give it :thumbsup :thumbsup

BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU KNOW IT WOULD LOOK BETTER IN RED.

I got the pleasure to ride in it when she was all done, it was purely magical. The doors get so much attention everyone at Cars and Coffee was snapping pictures. The exhaust sounds great and when you need it to be quite it is but when you want to turn it on it is amazing.

Chris you did a great job and I am for sure going to do the doors. Can't wait to get my mods done. I am also going to go with a black Chrome Whipple with black chrome rims.

Because we all know black is the best color, just look above, its like a ride out of Disney. Darth Vador has nothing on Chris, if the Ford GT was around this is what Darth Vador would have driven.

Congrates a job well done:thumbsup

Looks killer. Glad you've got it exactly the way you want it!

 

[MAD IN NC]

SWEET :cheers

I'd rather be dead than caught in a Red one....... :rofl

 

[Kirby Vieira]

Chris, that is absolutely awesome. The doors look like a variation of the Genaddi Design. Is Bill able to provide these to all who want them or was yours one of the last sets available? :cheers

 

[Chris A.]

These were the Genaddi hinges heavey tweaked by Bill. From what I'm told this was one of the last 2 sets. I'm sure if there's enough demand they could go back into production.

Thats fantastic Chris! It looks terrific.:thumbsup

Because we chat on a regular bases you know how I feel about being able to work for you massaging your gal and yet let me express it openly once again; "Thank You" as the pleasure was mine.

She looks absolutely stunning!! Here in a few months we will have your gal and mine side by side as we traverse to Las Vegas; great times ahead.

Now in response to the comments about the door system; it took nearly a year for me to receive two incomplete systems and very raw casting from which after far too many hours to mention two systems were completed and successfully integrated; now I recognize only too well that the system is not for everyone however it is extremely cool both in operation and the manner in which it seems to transform the gal’s character. I like the system and have never looked back with any regrets.

Having shared this during the course of completing these two systems I found it necessary to methodically (using a ton of blue tape) disassemble my gal and then used my system as the basis for many patterns and templates. I did this because early on in the “G” offerings I worked with the engineer of the system to make it work and fit properly; in fact the system as installed on my gal was referred to as “The Shadowman Special”. Sadly somehow after that point in time far too many things were changed in the effort to further improve and or streamline the production process as such the end result was a system that no longer worked as such they aka “G” no longer has a viable product offering.

It is because of this that behind the scenes I have been vigorously working with the original engineer of the system once again attempting to meet the desires of those that were left behind.

Now back on topic; Chris, the pictures of your gal are truly awesome however up close and personal she is even nicer; thank you again for allowing me to be your hands throughout the project as it was your dream that created the road map for me to follow.

Takes care
