There are shows in Richmond? I live just up the road in Fredericksburg. I'd love to take a drive down sometime for a show. Oh, and congrats on your selection.

Congrats, dude. You waited and ruminated publically on the boards even longer than me...if such a thing is possible.

Congratulations Mark!! The interior and exterior combo is a great pick and with some of the mods you have planed it's really going to stand out in the croud when you are done.

Just bought my first big $ mod.
http://alliance247.com/product.php?p...db13ed568bf055

I remembered a lot folks wished they had got a Dream Car Factory hood before they went out of business and Marcello (silver horse racing) gave this advice.
For future reference, if you like a part, you need to pony up somehow to get it. We're mostly small businesses that make these products, a lot of times at very little actual profit when all is said and done. One or two slow months can deep-six a small business that has invested heavily in a product and then nobody jumps on board and buys them to help cover the initial investment in making it.

I know I want this hood so there's no point in screwing around.
I love the fact that this is a functional hood scoop that gives me the look I'm going for.

Next up: 18x9 silver razor wheels with 40mm offset

Man Mark, your just a modding machine! Can't wait to see the final result with the blue stripes.

Did they give you a cost sheet listing the HID option with the order?

I don't know if I'd jump on razors before the car comes in, Shelby's got new wheels coming out every other month

No on the cost sheet for the HIDs question.

It will be ~6 weeks before the Shelby razors are available in my size/color/offset, but the non-Shelby American Racing version is available right now.

Plenty of time for me to change my mind a 1000 times

Heck I have the darn thing and am afraid to order anything yet. Can't decide on anything. Seems like once you buy something a bunch of other stuff follows suit in a theme.

Just ordered my bright blue metallic rocker stripes from:
http://www.wholesale-auto-decals.com/wak141.htm

That's about all I can do for now. Others items left to purchase for phase I
-billet grille (waiting to see the Shelby autos replacement grille)
-if required, tribar pony for billet grille
-silver metallic side mirror covers (probably be a while before silver metallic are in stock)
-roush rear springs or steeda lower springs (need to do some more research)
-wheels and tires (leaning toward 18x9 silver shelby razors-available in ~6weeks)
-hood pins (goes with the theme)
-Painted metallic blue LeMans stripes (speedway blue is the current favorite).

Phase II.
-JLTII CAI and SCT tuner with 3:90 or 4:10 gears; or a supercharger (budget will determine this one)
-aftermarket exhaust system (need to do more research)

I hear that! On a whim I decided to do a Shelby nose conversion so I no longer need the SS Eleanor grille that I bought. Oh well, it's off to ebay it goes!

Unless anyone on here is interested...maybe I'll post here first.

I notice on the DORA that you ordered a V6 automatic.

(Just kidding .)

Man, I thought waiting 5 weeks was tough!

It's gonna be a beauty.
