Perhaps I'm not searching on the right words, but I couldn't find this in a past post. I am having a stencil cut and need the dimensions and letter font for the rocker stripe. Any ideas? Also, your thoughts on the lable: 1. Ford 2. Ford GT 3. GT40 I'm leaning towards #3.

Man, I go away to Dublin for a week and everyone starts talking about adjusting my body! I'm going up to Ron's see the car tomorrow and install the door latches and strikers. In the mean time, here is a picture from earlier in the week. All the gaps are set and the body is ready for high...

Here are a couple more. Check out the door fit to the roof:

Ron has all the panels aligned and is very impressed with the quality and fit of the panels right out of the mold. I think I reported before the difficulty of alignment and Fran added that with the doors being part of the roof, alignment can be very tricky. Well folks, check this out. This is...

Yeah, that is exactly what she said! Panels are all aligned on the GT40 and body work has started. Looks like I will see you at Carlisle with the car in tow!

Wow, talk about filling the tub! It looks like the rear crossmember won't fit, but maybe it will when you remove the plate you mentioned. Hmm...if I took my bonus next year, told my wife it was a bad year for the booze business, moved her M3 out of the garage, I mught just be able to...

Rick, I dropped it off yesterday. He says it will be ready in 5 weeks, so the excitement is killing me! I'll stop up there tomorrow and meet you. What time do you think you will be there?

Rick, looking good! Congratulations on your purchase. I can't wait to see it.

Well, it went off for body work and paint today! Yeah, doors are over rated! Actually, I took them up separately. It will be done in five weeks and I can't wait. After dinner tonight, I looked at my son and we both said, "now what are we going to do?" It is strange having an...

Damn! Who needs air bags when you have fun bags. Glad to hear it worked out for you, Dave. Let's hope that was the real issue.

I feel your pain! I went from red and white to dark blue and gold to orange and black (still like that one) to blue and orange (dark Gulf). I am now set on the later as the chassis is powder coated dark blue and the roll bar and other parts are orange. I thought it looked great until Bill...

Generally, the broader the language, the less defensible. You could add a clause something to the effect of "this design requires certification by a licensed engineer familiar with your intended application prior to fabrication and use." Of course, I only deal in labor law, so you take your...

Hey, very observant! I used VHT orange caliper paint. About 5 light coats. I then spilled brake fluid all over one of them, got it off quick, but no damage at all! VHT SP733 - VHT Brake Caliper, Drum, and Rotor Paints - summitracing.com Tom, I will post a video of first start, but I am...

So I was working on the car today and checked it out. You will have plenty of reach to go up 2 or 3 inches. I had to remove my compressor to shim the bracket slightly and I could move it up farther than I thought.

Randy, it is so tight in the front (as you know) that I have redone mine about 6 times now! Most of that was caused by my insistance on using the short serpentine set up sold by FRPP and desire to avoid the "bump". My lines are the perfect length and give me just enough flex to use the a/c...

That is bizzarre! Glad you're okay. That could trigger a heart attack in some of us old timers (not me of course).

The Earl's beader doesn't work at all on stainless. The better solution is to weld a bead around the tube 1/2" in from the ends. As an alternative, you can drill four holes 90 degrees to each other and 1/2" and screw in four round head ss sheet metal screws #8-3/8" works well. Insert the tube...

I hope he can find that many transaxles.

12.9 is perfect. Don't use nylocks as the rotor heat can melt the nylon.

As Randy always says, "when it comes to wp fittings they both suck." In a stock configuration, one is input from the thermostat bypass and the other is input from the heater core. Great post Chuck, thanks. I took my air bleed input from the rear of the manifold. Other than that, I used the...
