A month or so back I was contacted and was honored to make the head and running light covers for GT103, which as most know is one of the original twelve prototypes and is the oldest Ford GT in existence. It was being restored back to the number 73 car that won the 1965 Daytona 24 hours for the Pebble Beach Concourse. The week before it was to be at Pebble Beach, I was vacationing nearby the restoration shop and was invited to come by to see GT103 and it's Daytona sister car GT104 (number 72). I rode in GT105 back in 1994, so I'm so glad to be one of very few people (besides the drivers of the day) that has seen and touched prototype GTs 103, 104, and 105. The thrill of seeing them both and riding in GT105 will never be forgotten in my Blue Oval journey. Attached are photos of GT103 with my light covers at the Pebble Beach show. Also, I've attached a detail photo I took at the shop of the flow-through ducting unique to the prototypes that is still being built into the new Ford GTs, for example where the turbo intercooler heat is exited around the tail lights.
