New Buyer help
Hello all, I could use some sage advice from those on the board. Come this spring I plan on ordering a car from Dana at Shell Valley and I have just a few questions before I make that order. First off let me explain what I am going to be ordering, keeping in mind this is going to be a California car.
Complete Cobra kit for 351W (blueprint 408W/Tremec transmission)
Hydraulic clutch upgrade kit
Wilwood 12 inch brakes
Upholstered door panels
Driver side seat track
Heater/defroster kit
Weatherstripping kit
Vinyl dash upgrade
Team III 17 inch wheel/tire combo
Now for the questions.
1. Any issues with the quality of the fiberglass body or frame ?
2. What was the time frame from placement of order to delivery ? Also any issues when your car arrived?
3. Any problems or issues during the build of the car ?
4. I plan on putting the body on a body buck during the build. Has anyone else done this and if so....do you have the dimensions (or are they same as the FF cars) ?
5. Lastly, if you could go back and order your car again, what extras would you add or delete ?
This is going to be a 12 month build (I hope) and it’s going to parallel my rebuilding of my wife’s 67 mustang she drove in HS that we recently found abandoned in a side yard of a house for sale.
Any advise, help, prayers or counseling would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
JW
