Has anyone installed a Shelby Tach on the dash without removing the windshield? I would like to know how that was done.

How did Shelby American install the Tach?

Do you mean just just screwing it down into the existing holes or drilling and mounting it into a new/replacement dash pad?

Yes, believe that's right.  First time I walked by it, saw some Shelby parts, but no gauge pod or cutout on the dash and the hood was down, so I kept going.  Found out later it was a real '65 GT350.

When you told me that, I thought that was one of the funniest things I heard all day. 

The owner seems like a nice guy, and I am glad he kept in touch with Vern.

The switch from bag to bottle was around March 20, 1967...from what I remember.

My one comment:

I'm not saying pictures are worth $100k, but that first car sure did it right. Those professional photographs really presented that car as being very special.

Check out the EWBANK SC1000 on Amazon.  I purchased this item a couple of years ago to remove window tinting on a couple of cars and it worked flawlessly. Also used it to clean tile grout on kitchen floor, etc.  Runs for about 45 minutes on one filling.

Thank you...I was just looking for mild degreasing and cleaning 

Thanks Bob.

With Vern buying lunch this year, I have some extra money for a purchase.

I am looking for a portable, yet powerful, steam cleaner for degreasing, basic cleaning, etc. at a reasonable price...nothing commercial grade needed.

Any recommendations?

See you all again this year...it will be a good time as always.

Brian Littlefield will also be there this year.

I am not arranging any group dinners this time (Vern, keep your comments to yourself), but we will do our annual lunch.

I am in for the annual lunch even if Nick isn't buying. I think it is Vern's turn anyway .    

You never forget a thing Bob. You're right, it is Vern's turn to buy.

See you all again this year...it will be a good time as always.

Brian Littlefield will also be there this year.

Congratulations bud!

I usually order from Virginia Mustang...now acquired by Kentucky Mustang.

Your two big choices are either Scott Drake or Wheel Vintique (Coker).  The real decision used to be who painted the charcoal inserts with the most correct color.

I think there are good and bad with both wheel manufacturers, but they probably cancel each other out.  I don't think you can go wrong with either company.

I bought my set in 2010 from Coker as a wheel and tire package.  I am not sure if they were Wheel Vintique back then since they were bouncing back and forth between different companies due to back ordering.

I would lean toward the Vintique over the Drake.

AWESOME!!!!!!  Rod, that is so cool.
