Dash plaque time frames

[svtbolt2001]

Does anyone else find it ridiculous with all the new fandangle’d shipping companies that a Dash plaque takes a minimum of 150 days? This seems excessive to me.

Is it being signed?

There is a good 7 page thread on Team Shelby about these 2010+ name tags.....er plaques.

Na, but'n i usedtakud.

Someone out there should engineer an alternative. I would have spent half as much and went without the signature if it would have been shipped in a decent amount of time.

My Shelby had a signed on installed when I got her, that was the first thing I removed. It looks much better on my desk at the office!:banana:

took 6 months for me, i was nervous he was gonna croak before i got mine. they get signed when Shelby goes to visit the children's hospital. that only happens a few times per year. do research before you buy anything off the Shelby site. it's not like the old man is sitting behind a desk waiting for your plaque to be ordered so he can sign it.

If it is signed I do not find it ridiculous it takes this long at all.
Shelby is a busy man despite his age and I'm sure he has his plate full constantly.

I had to wait almost seven months for my signed dash plaque.
Part of it was that he was out of town a full month during the show season doing things.

They even sent me notice about the lateness and apologized.
I told them to take their time and that I was just happy to be able to own the signed plaque. It goes to show they are 100% authentic and make sure HE signs it.

I have no problem in being patient for such items.
Good things come to those that wait.

All I know is clear coat that thing when you get it. That was the first thing I did to mine when it came out of the box. And you know how many dumb asses touch it saying woe is that real.

LOL,
So you used Krylon on your's?

 

[megameGT500]

Mine took 4 1/2 months. I guess I was lucky.

 

[Cameron57]

Ya I just bought a can of clear coat and coated it before I touched it is not noticeable but a good investment lol

 

[GT500RedStripe]

What part of the GT500 did Shelby do?

 

[svtbolt2001]

The name. I am pretty sure the rest is SVT.

 

[GT500RedStripe]

Oh yeah... They do plaques.

 

[BlakSVT]

Mine took five months. For the money, I was expecting a fully CNC machined aluminum plaque with "the Man's" signature. Turned out to be a thin aluminum plate mounted to a molded plastic backing plate. I did go ahead and follow the recommendations to use the special Krylon clear coat and protect the signature. Turned out nice overall.

 

[GT500RedStripe]

I am wondering if the signed plaques will ever mean anything to collectors since Shelby never touched the car.

 

[svtbolt2001]

127 days and counting.

 

[svtbolt2001]

133 days
