Please let me hang around........but don\'t tell my wife!!!
Hello -
I've been a long time fan of the GT40. It was the spark that ignited my life-long passion for cars and racing.....my dad worked at Ford in the '60's. My first awareness of racing/performance cars was from articles in the company newsletters of the time on the Ford GT's racing activities.
After building an ERA Cobra replica only to wreck it last year, I miss working on a project. I'm drawn to the idea of building a GT40 replica. I'm in awe /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif of the effort undertaken by those here who restore / maintain the original cars. Thanks for helping preserve a piece of history!! BTW- The fellow who did the custom headers for my ERA is an ex-Holman & Moody mechanic. On my first visit to his shop, he showed me the beautiful MkIIB (2-4 barrel Holleys) that he had painstakingly restored. He has since sold it. Wonder where it is now....
Please let me hang around....but pleeeeeease don't tell my wife!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
P.S. Although I was brought up in the 'Ford family', I've grown to appreciate a variety of marques......I presently have a 1966 Corvette, 2 Porsches (1967 911S & 1970 914-6), an S2000 and a Mustang. But my all time favorite car is the Ferrari 330/P4.....seeing documentation of Jim (Mk IV J6)'s P4 restoration has me wired up (and green with envy! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
