Jmeo's 2020 Shelby American GT500 SE Wide Body Build (+ "Phase 2")

Well you came to your senses apparently.....

Apparently, lol.

As I recall, we steered him right collectively.

It's funny how many details I stressed over. What color stripes?, what color calipers, what color caliper lettering, what width stripes, gloss black or brushed aluminum wheels, exposed carbon side hood vent or not? Seat covers, what to carbon vs what not to.... I've been pretty stressed out over it to be honest.

Just got caught up. Holy cow congrats!! Living vicariously through you right now haha!

Thank you, happy to have you along for the ride

Well, she's as done as she can be while we wait for the trunk lid & calipers.

There is a possibility that the final pieces of the puzzle will be done by the end of the week!!

Jaime, what is stuck on the grille in front of the intake to the air filter box?

Jaime, what is stuck on the grille in front of the intake to the air filter box?

to me looks like where one of "Signature Edition" badge may be placed

Yup, it is the backing plate for the Signature Edition emblem. It is fastened to the grill mesh, giving a solid mounting point for the double sided tape on the emblem.

I’ll happily buy you guys a beer but nobody convinced me of anything except my OCD brain.

Come on out to Mustang week, first rounds on me just because

I’m surprised nobody has asked what colors I went with, lol. You guys think I was indecisive, be glad you aren’t my wife. I put her through hell haha.

My OCD is kicking in and it would appear to me the special emblem is in a different location on yours. I like your location better but figured they would be in an EXACT specific location.

I noticed that too, nice catch. Mine is closer to these pictures from the Shelby website.

O yeah! Medium rare!

No other way to have it buddy. I wish I could plan a stop, but I will be headed right to the house rental. Let me know if you end up coming. Friday would be a good day to come, she will be inside the convention center for the car show.
