Congratulations on your CAV! You will like the car a lot, are you finishing it or is it complete?
What is chassis number?

My new toy is on the enclosed trailer and will be in my garage, hopefully, by the 31st. I think it's #29, gotta confirm that. It's still being broken in at 800+ miles so a few things still need sorting out. A few electrical bugs which aren't too complicated, and I want to do the lower arms suspension upgrade from Ian of CAV Motorsports in Toronto. He also suggested locking and vented gas cap inserts but I don't know about the neccessity of that. I have a set of big letter Goodyears handcut by Roger Kraus racing waiting for it

I had committed to bring my SPF517 Cobra to SAAC VIR, then found out that our bi-annual sojourn to Smuggler's Notch, VT falls on that week, according to my lovely bride. I had been working on the suspension and just got a set of hand cut slicks from Roger Kraus and a set of BRM wheels from Bob Lacey for the event, which it turns out, I can use as a direct bolt on for the CAV as well. Ha! I just saved money! How do you like that!. I think I'd much rather bring the CAV, but right now, I'm outvoted 3 to 1. I'm still working on it, but it looks dim.

Ray,
Give Mitch Hughes a call, no relation. He has the spec's for the correct 'FORD GT' stripes. Any color you want in the 3M adhesive material. He's first class. http://www.shelbycobra.net/

Is there really any such thing as the "correct" Ford GT stripes? If you look through pictures of the original cars they were all over the map. The only thing that I would consider "correct" would be the use of the microgramma medium extended font for either Ford, Ford GT, Ford GT40, or GT40.

Mark is right, the sill stripes were all over the map. I put together my stripes with some info I believe was found on this site (might want to try a search) and by using this early pic as reference for the Ford font used.
Like this?
0.5 inch space form the top of the sill
0.5 inch stripe
0.5 inch space
2.0 inch stripe
0.5 inch space
0.5 inch stripe
If you're going to use a meatball, measure back from the front sill 4.5 inches. Use 1.0 inch space to start the FORD lettering, total length is 14.0 inches. The font I used had to be altered to get the correct look based on the photo.
Again, this is just a guide, not sure what is officially correct but this looks damm close!
www.racelinedigital.com is what I do best - anyone interested in this kind of thing is free to contact me.
Just a heads-up.
Chris

Or
http://www.hart-photography.com/MotorSports04/tde1004tms/67/albums.html
Or search the archives on this site for pic's of my car. My pic's are all 1Meg each.
I understand sill stripes were all over the map Mark, I was just trying to make Ray's search as easy as possible for a 'correct' stripe. I heave seen a lot that just look wrong!
Enjoy,
Tom

Thanks Ian,
I know. the list is getting long. sill stripes, suspension mod from you, oil cooler and accusump, and maybe the weber stacks on sale for 2795! and the toy's not even here yet!
It's getting on the trauck today and after I made a lot of noise, they said the trucks going straight crosscountry to Long Island. Ya right. They said the trucks got 2 guys, a loader and a driver but the loader happens to be a driver too so they can switch to get around the max driving hours rule...
I hate waiting /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/zzzzz.gif

Hey Ron,
$30.00US for a pair + shipping.
FYI these will be manufactured using CAD software/digital cutting plotter. Material used is high gloss, 2.1 mil film and long life durability rating. It's also fuel and solvent proof.
It's not rocket science to apply but will come with what you need for the install, including an application guide.
I can also produce these in a digital paint mask, same principal for application. Just squeegee on, spray your paint, peel it off. Cuts masking time to nil and produces sharp, clean results.
Would this thread be worthy of others attention? Maybe under the Tech - Exterior forum?
Let me know.
