Scott the NEWBIE here. I've been reading for a few days now, please take it easy on me now! I too am waiting for my Gulf CAV GT, after buying a stainless CAV in January, I was so impressed with it that I signed up as the North Florida distributor!
My Gulf car is nearly complete, Webers, wide hip, 12.5" wide BRM orange centered rims, Goodyear Bluestreak skins, brass seat grommets, you get the picture! If I can figure it out I'll post some pics.
Please don't hold against me the fact that I'm a dealer, my wife and I Wholesale luxury and exotic cars to dealers, 30-40 a month. I convinced her to let me take on the GTs if I can just break even doing it. Bottom line, I'm a Ford nut! I've been with my wife for 23 years, at 19 we were together and driving my then dream car, 1975 Euro Pantera. I think our car payment was twice as much as rent! Just trying to prove a point, raised on a farm in Iowa, we started with $0.00! God has surely blessed us since then. Well, just wanted to share my GT 40 enthusiasm with you all! By the way, I also just received a copy of GT 40 by Ronnie Spain. I highly recommend it. See ya!
