Road Damage

[BigsGT]

I wouldn't say there were no incidents but I didn't advertise mine as I'm less than proud of it. Heading out to College Station on Highway21 I 'kissed' a guardrail at a rather high rate of speed while reaching for a water bottle in the passenger seat. As I've said before its a car and susecptable to damage if you drive it at all, expecially at speed as Fubar demonstrated.

Unfortunately this time it won't rub right out...

Carbon fiber scoops from Kip!

Bigs, at least the wax is good enough to tell Shelby's car is parked next to you......

I took a rock to the windshield on the way to TWS. Under the passenger wiper. Over the next few days a single crack started up the windshield. Now I get to go through the process of a replacement. :ack
I'm spooked about having someone take off and replace the front fenders. :willy

Have Shadowman, Kendall, or fly the GT guys out to do it. It'll be fixed right - and you'll be able to relax!

 

[Luke Warmwater]

You don't do all your own work Pockets?

 

[roketman]

I am saddened to see that.
I would get stormcats bottle holders, they are really trick.
I do agree with having the Gt Guys doing the repair.
No worry your gal will be like new soon.

WORK??! :eek Don't yeeeeew EVER use that 4 letter wurd whilest addressing me again! :lol :cheers


Mechanical only - and THEN only on 'classics/hot rods...and it's been a while since I've done any of that, truth be told. Body work, glass, 'n' upholstry I hire done!

Thanks EP. I'm trying to find Kendall's number right now.

my rock chip from last year was in the same place as yours and started to crack just like yours too. the GT guys replaced my windshiled at the pre-rally and all is well now. i HIGHLY recommend them

PS - i am gonna get my windshield clear bra'd now :lol

 

[KJRGT]

Freddy,
I'll probably have Kendall do it as he is 40 minutes away from where I live, but I appreciate your message all is good now. I'm going to go with the clear film also. :thumbsup

CF scoops.

Bigs,

That's as good an excuse as any to get Kip's CF scoops!! :banana I love mine! They look great on yellow cars and would look GREAT on your Tungsten GT. In the photo below taken at the Texas Mile I have tape accross the leading edge and bottom of my scoops to protect them from damage.

Chip, the black CF scoops look amazing with your yellow/black color combo.

 

[PL510*Jeff]

First of all ....thank goodness no one was injured!

Best thing is that they can be repaired.

As Biggs found out with one hand on the wheel, the p.s. is really sensitive to "minor" input.

Had mine going the wrong direction on the race track @ 110. Fortunatly, for me at least, the brakes work really good no matter the direction the nose is pointed. The only damage was to my not so clean shorts and an extremely elevated heart rate.

Please be careful and safe out there in GT land.

Sorry Shelby, I couldn't resist. :cheers

I've got to get the file of that photo of your car at speed on the track!
(the one in that other post)
We are going to get some photos blown up for the new shop.

You car just looks amazing. Total race car!

I got one too, Kevin - on Saturday after the Rally on my way out to the Hill Country to visit friends - bummer! Also picked up about a #12 sheet metal screw in the right rear, but Discount Tire fixed it (for free).
