If this isn't the primary reason for the forum, then what is?

The primary reason for the Forum, as stated in my post, is to provide a community for like-minded friends that want to talk, ask, listen or just hang out together.
The subforums try and give a "room" for any interest... specific, general, social or just for fun

       To ANYONE who doesn't appreciate the above statement , you DO NOT HAVE to come here ! YOU have the choice I guarantee you. MANY of us enjoy it here and use it AS STATED above. Sure sometimes we have to endure an occasional clash of EGOs but "I" feel some of that is due to the medium we communicate with on ANY forum. I have met MANY of the people  on this forum in person and am able to "filter" responses based on having met them face to face. Changed? Yes I see more clashes among members than before the crash. If a person goes to a forum intent on changing it to what THEY want , "I" suggest they start their own.
"I" for one am VERY thankful Ron has provided this opportunity for anyone ( even non owners) to enjoy. From the looks above this post , others agree.

Good to see you Ron.

You guys want to focus on that one post for some reason so it's worth noting that nobody answered a relatively straightforward question after three days. I think that's telling but it's no big deal. This topic isn't about that one post as I said before. The "purists" know who they are and they know what I'm talking about. I hope things improve but the ones who don't like tribute cars will probably be even less likely to respond now that I raised the issue so there's no winning this debate. I just wanted to raise the issue in hopes that those involved would give it some thought. Others before me have raised the same issue. This is a great forum and I hope it gets even better. We all have much more in common than we have that divides us so let's focus on that.

Nothing is perfect.

I stumbled across this post and I have a couple of observation for you to contemplate.

Why are you obsessed with gathering correct parts for a car that is not real?

Do you understand that this forum and the registry is about the preservation and history of  Shelby vehicles?

I personally would much rather have a really nice Mustang then a fake Shelby.

Too each his own.
I have a friend who is Shelby owner, and whenever anyone was working on a Mustang, he would always refer to the Mustang as "that" or "its good enough, for that"
Sounds degrading to me.

Looking for correct parts for a fake is the definition of an oxymoron.

It boils down to cost, when something is copied it is a form of flatery. A simple observation of lets use jewelry as an example, Millions of cubic zirconias have been sold simply because of cost ,they look and feel like the real thing but are not. Trying to look the part can be just as rewarding for the car crowd if you can't pull it off financially. Enjoy the DIAMONDS... SHELBYS... or ZIRCONIAS its all about the enjoyment! Be safe out there.
