Especially to Shelby, who arranged transportation for my replacement car, finding a buyer for the salvage of my wrecked car, and for removing the lower body side stripes, adding the Ford Racing Pulley and Tune, Installing a Ford Racing Short Throw Shifter, Ford Racing Trans Cooler, and for adding a set of cables so as to be able to use my IPOD on this MAC equipped beauty!
Rewind....Last December, I totaled my All Black No stripes GT....No one hurt, luckily.....Found an all black no stripes replacement car for less than the settlement proceeds from the Insurance Co. STANDJ in upstate New York helped me with the evaluation of the replacement car. After I decided to buy it, sight unseen, Shelby arranged transport to his shop while I was out of the country. He then added the afore mentioned Ford Racing Pulley, Ford Racing Short Throw Shifter, Ford Racing Trans Cooler, Ford Racing Exhaust, plugged in an adapter on the Mac for my IPOD, waxed the car, looked it over carefully, and removed the lower body sidestripes, (BONY must be smiling....WE know it makes the cars faster
) which were a Bi**H to remove! Shelby then arranged for transport from his shop to Dallas (where I live). The car arrived and is better than new.....Feels a bit tighter (approximately 2k miles) than did my 3k car which I bought new and then totaled. ALL of the mods are wonderful....makes more power (as if I needed that....almost got killed in a bone stock car) and the exhaust note is wonderful....about the same at idle, but very nice as you get up into the RPM's......ALL GOOD!
Many thanks to the kind words from everyone on the forum.....A member here in Dallas, FUBAR, who also totaled a car, and who helped me with the Insurance Company, STANDJ from New York, who provided me with a very thorough PPI, Shelby (see above) the boys from Midland, who made some very nice offers for a hunting trip, etc, after I totaled my car, and support from everyone else I have failed to mention....
I am VERY sorry and remiss to all for the tardiness of this post....I have been in Africa for a large part of the Summer, and a little slow to catch up!
My thanks to all on this wonderful forum, for helping me, in the immortal words of Steven Tyler, for getting BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!!!!
