Well after all the waffling, I have comitted to the Paxton install at Shelby. I will be putting on a polished Paxton with the GT 500 fuel pump and dash pod / gauges. Should be sent to Shelby in next couple of weeks and then I will fly to Vegas to pick it up when done. I went this route becouse I wanted to keep the car all Shelby and keep the history and connection of the 1966 GT 350 H and 2006 GTH. Did not want to lose the strut brace or cut the hood (just personal preferance).

Wife supports it so that is very very cool. She acutauly insisted that SAI do the install.

It is my understanding that I can get the Shelby GTH SC side stripes. At this time I do not plan on changing them out. Just add the engine compartment SC plaque.

Wish me luck

Harald

I was talking to Bud last week about your car. I think we are both in agreement that you've stayed on top of this and certainly have showed the most interest in the Paxton.

I applaud you for your persistance and are having the Paxton installed exactly how I would.

Good news! Congrats. Hopefully I will not be too far behind you. Probably next year though. I'm getting the Hot Rod cams put in first this year. I wouldn't be able to do the side stripes either since mine are all painted on now. Can't wait to see pics of your car done!

Congratulations Harald. I can't wait to see #50 at the 2010 Vegas Bash. The Paxton was definately the way to go. I will be dreaming of the day
that I am able to make that mod.

Awesome Harald... No doubt the best way to go and all being well the way I plan to go soon too, perhaps not until the end of the year though! Looking forward to hearing all about it when you get her back, congrats!

Ford changed around some of the emissions items on the 07-08 compared to the 06. That is why it needed to be CARB recertified which Paxton has not been able to accomplish yet. I can't imagine what is taking so long as the other chargers do not seem to be having any issues.

And 43+ years later and still running strong. It will be a total different car.

Thanks for the GT 350 H pictures Tony. Very cool & inspiring Dave c. Car is scheduled to be picked up next week on Tuesday or Wednesday. Should be at SAI on Thursday or Friday. I will pick up the car on October 2nd and drive back. I am nervous and excited! Polished Paxton, gt 500 fuel pump and gauge pod/gauges.

Harald, it is my understanding that you CANNOT get time off of work to get your car when it's done, so it is only logical (as we live near each other) that I go and pick it up for you and race :shift: , er, I mean drive it gently home for you.... :hysterical:

Wow! You're gonna love it. It's a totally different animal when it's done. Be careful - with stock tires the rear will want to scoot if you downshift on a turn.
