Thanks, Ken. Pabst and Penske in shot #2. Is that Carroll Shelby walking away from the car in shot #3? Lister Cobra??? I'm dying of curiousity. Please post any pictures you have! Bob

Re: \"Blue and Orange\" frknfst, if you don't have any luck try Paul at www.motorsportcollector.com. He has copies in stock, or did as of last week, and is very good to deal with. Bob

Different car, but you might be able to get a really good deal on a 904 replica. See the ad in the top-left corner of this newsletter: http://www.georgiastudebaker.com/PDF-Sept-2004/04page17.pdf Bob

Hersh is "the goods." Bob

Fran, Will you be able to do Gulf-style rear flares? Thanks, Bob

Fran, congrats on the new venture. Will the GT40 have Gulf-style flares as an option? Looks like you're replicating all of my favorite cars. I've always thought the XJ13 was an all-time beauty. When is the F3L coming out? Bob

Re: Factory Five\'s Quasi-Clone It could just be the photo, but it sure doesn't look to have much rear tire. Agree with JWhat, it's fine up to the B-pillar but I don't care for the rear styling. I can appreciate that they were probably trying to maximize visibility out the rear window, but...

There was a pretty extensive discussion of this subject a while back. I installed four of the vents in my GTD (I liked the first two so much I put two more in), using just a garden-variety hole saw I purchased at Home Depot. Use a cordless drill at a very slow speed, and tape over the area to...

Just a program reminder for those of us Stateside: Speed Channel's program guide indicates that it will air two hours' worth of Monterey coverage on 9/29 at 7 p.m. CST, again at 11 p.m. that night, then again at 11 a.m. on 10/8. Bob

I installed two sets of helicopter vents in my GTD's side windows. I got them from a place called Wicks Aircraft, I think. At any rate there are several places on the internet selling essentially the same thing. They are incredibly simple to install. Tape the plexiglass to prevent...

Re: Pete Lyons\' GT40 book I had an e-mail from Pete a month or two ago, the gist of which was that the book was not ready yet. Strangely enough, Amazon has it available for order AGAIN. I went ahead and did so (for the third time), although I don't expect to see it any time soon. Bob

Re: \"Blue and Orange\" I am interested as well, thanks. [email protected] Bob

I know what you mean, I've only missed one year at RA in the last six or seven. I was there a few years ago when they had something like 70 Can Am cars on the track at the same time. The sound of them coming down to Canada Corner was unreal. Unfortunately the Can Am fields the last few years...

I wouldn't mind seeing a "theme" or "class" as the "featured marque," such as the Can Am. Either that, or Earle can just go ahead and feature Ford again--2003 was too cool... Bob

Thanks, Steve. According to the MHR website the marque in 1985 was Alfa (it was M-B in 1986). I guess we'll see. Bob

Does anyone know what the featured marque will be for 2005, by any chance? I think it's Steve Earle's practice to announce it at the conclusion of each year's event. Bob

I generally in awe of those who drive well at high speeds, but the MotoGP and Isle of Man TT pilots are the ones that leave me shaking my head. I watched some TT highlights on Saturday that had me shouting at the TV in disbelief--

There are a few McCluskey Daytonas out there. A couple have been on eBay in the last year or two. I've heard that one of them--which had a number of "non-original" features--could have been had for around $150K. It is my recollection that most of the McCluskey cars are not built on original...

My car has a thin gasket around the opening as well. When I painted my light recesses I used the inside edge of it as my "taping point." It made it nice as the black gasket hid any small errors in taping. I put a small dab of silicone on the end of each of the screws when I replaced them in...

I saw a Penske T-70 coupe at Elkhart Lake a couple of years ago that had all of the pinstriping in place. I can't find a photo of the actual car but here is a link to the GMP model. The "flames" are just visible in the second picture, behind the induction stacks...
