Sorry seems like its all mine....
Had my name and address on it. Unless you live in SFLA and your in the Kendall area - in the same neighborhood - not. Hey I feel your pain,
I've been awaiting for quite a long time to get just this piece in. As
I understand it the other pieces are on their way and should be here
on Thursday.
Don't worry your get your parts soon. Don't
your head over it.
Good things come to those you wait.
Besides all the GT owners in your area will be
when yours is done.

I am not stressing just hoping for a little Xmas 3 months early. I still have to find a reputable painter anyway. Honestly I don't think the Mustang sales in NJ are like down there in SLFA. Only lately do you see more on the road now.
And I know my dealership got their first GT500 and sold it for 30k over so there is one of them around somewhere in a garage.

I've seen one so far here in SFLA...
Seems like my running around trying to find one at a ford dealer was a useless
endeavor. I found one right in the parking lot at work - seems like on of the top execs at work purchased one. Looks awesome !!!
In any case my cousins husband is waiting on his to come in. Can't wait to see his face when we meet for the Holidays and he sees my Shelby GT500 and I ask him "How much did you pay for yours?". Most of my family members will probably say "I don't see the difference" you paid alot more for yours.
Of course you can't compare a GT converted to a shelby gt500 (poser) to the real thing. But when your rolling down the road no one is going to know what you have under the hood unless you punch it. And as I understand it - head to head the GT versus the Shelby GT500 - the GT is no slouch !!
Wait til I add a decent block, forged internals and a whipple supercharger !!

Same here ....
I was disappointed when I first saw the production model GT versus the concept car. But I bought one anyways hoping that later the pieces would be sold to look like the concept car. Its just crazy what these people are paying for the Shelby GT500's. Thats why my faking my own - alot cheaper and it looks the same - besides I would have to go to a race track or the german autobahn to drive a real Shelby like I wanted to (legally).

Ya know, I was thinking about your car when it is done GT. Doing a complete GT500 replica is not my thing but yours is gonna be a real neet deal because of your color. Correct me if I am wrong but at this point the GT500 doesn't come in Windveil Blue. Original all the way!

TowerShops - I was there tonight ....
did not pay the $1.00 because am broke already from buying all these parts!
LOL. No really. But I did'nt want to park my car with the rest of the show cars when its only a stock GT.
I took alot of pictures which I'll post tomorrow.
I went to two paint & body shops to get estimates already and this is going
to be one expensive project !! $1600.00 w/o stripes close to $2600.00 w/ stripes. I'll be price shopping tomorrow and getting more estimates.
My next Towershop meet for me would be on the 27th of Oct.
FLA Stang Guys / Gals need to meet at a specific time & place there
next time because there are just too many cars there. Enjoyed it again today
Hopefully I should have my Shelby conversion done before Christmas.
My wife surprised me last night with some fantastic news - am going to be
a dad !! Yup she is pregnant !! Its my first, the other two kids are from her
previous marriage. So looks like I'll be shopping for a minivan in the near future. Which only means less wear & tear on the GT / Shelby. LOL
It also means my Mustang Mods are going on a very accelerated schedule -
meaning within 9 months !!! After that I'll be scraping money together to buy lots of pampers and baby food !!!
