Just got my GT40 glass/image toy, and delighted with it. I am trying to figure out if I aim a spotlight at it, will the car glow or light up? Great fun. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi John
Postman just delivered mine, very impressed first class, only problem is keeping people's finger marks off it as everybody wants to admire it.
Don't know about a Cobra as a follow up, how about a 917? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Once again many thanks for your 1st class sevice
Regards from a very dull and grey London

Bias is, Bias be!
Why not do the three cars in formation, they would be smaller I grant you but it would make a fantastic piece of crystal art - don't you agree!
By the way Brian, I just want to say that the new rod gear change you have installed is fantastic! It has changed the car as much as the work Chris did.
If anybody is thinking of having this installed in their car should speak to Brian - but then I am bias!!
Kind regards
Simon

John,
I have just returned from two days at the Autosport International Show to find a parcel marked "From the U.S.A."
Upon opening, nestling amongst the packing was a blue box containing a marvel of modern technology - A transluscent GT40 encased in crystal. It is out of this world.
Even my wife, though not the greatest GT40 fan in the world (She is getting tired of me saying "One day, I'll have one of those!"), thinks it is superb. She suggests that I put it away for Christmas 2004. No chance!
Now, how to best illuminate it.
Incidentially, while at the Show, I had the opportunity to have a close look at Grahams 917 - Very impressive. Are you planning to run it or the GT40 at Oulton Park or Croft this year, Graham?
There are some exotics at the show well worth seeing.
Again John, many thanks.
Best regards, Geoff.
P.S. Spoke to Chris Knapman of Collectors Car Books, and was told that "Creating the Ford GT40" should be out mid year at about £50.00. Also that the Gordon Jones/John Allen book should be reprinted by the end of the year - Updated and priced in the three figures. Luckily I have the original. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

John,
received mine today after some customs trouble - it's more than impressive. An excellent item! I feel sorry for all those GT40 enthusiats who didn't use their chance to get one.
You should really think about doing a MK II and a MK IV - probably one for Christmas this year and one for the next year?
Cheers,
Volker

Received mine yesterday, excellent. Will have to stay in the box for now though, until I sort out the display cabinet (& room) for this & all my other GT40 models etc.
Cheers John.

John,
Received mine the other day. AMAZING!
It looks great when lit from below. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Any ideas on the next offering? MKII? P4? 917? T70?

I have contacted John, about doing the Lola T70 Mark3B for me. I am looking for any leads, on finding 3-d prints, and pictures for him to work fom. If anyone has a suggestion, as to where I could obtain these prints any and all help, would be appreciated. I too, would like to enjoy the excellent craftsmanship and service, that John provides.
Anyone willing to help ?????
Regards Brian

Great guys,
I'm glad everyone likes them.
I would love to do others. I just need to find CAD drawing of them and we're all set.
If you have a usable one I will gladly send you the completed crystal.
Trust me I will not be scaling the files out and making full size cars, just crystals!
Cobras are no problem but the more "special" cars are.
If anyone out there has what it takes myself and others would appreciate it.
Thanks and eveyone enjoy their toys.

John, mine arrived downunder a couple of days ago. Sensational! My wife is now trying to work it into the decor of the new home we are building. If anyone has worked out how to light it to the best advantage please post it. What's next John?
