Hey Mat that looks great! Always happy to help out a friend! After seeing my daughter and her car I am certain yours will bring similar enjoyment!

PS - Now its time to take it from 12 - 18 volts! Shelbys should be faster than everything else on the road!

Very cool pics and car.

I'm already on the list to be adopted by MFD after seeing his daughter's Shelby.

I see you did the painting yourself, but where did you get the correct size emblems?

What kind of paint do I need to use to make it stick and not peel or scratch easily?

Currently PowerWheels cars are only available in red and pink (Barbie). I wanted a black PW GT500 so I found a used red one on Craig's List and painted it black with Krylon Fusion paint. In order to paint it I completely disassembled the car, washed it and scuffed all external surfaces with a Scotch Bright pad (I used the green one), then wiped it down with acetone to remove oils and a bees wax tack cloth to remove dust and painted it. I am very happy with the results! You may get some chips depending on hour rough your kids are with it but mine has held up so far with two girls!
