Iron Sheik, a thousand pardons, but you must not part from the Mosque of Fiberglass and our coven of infedels. How can the shifting sands possibly bring you those like Andrew FORD-dice and Franklin of Catt that have given you so much of both irritation and amusement?

Jim, if the firing order is correct and forms a "circular" pattern from pipe to pipe, you get a rifling effect or vortex down the exhaust which speeds up the scavenging and gives back a little horsepower.

I don't think that anyone is doing the MKIIIs. You could probably find a part or full built one in the UK as not many made it to the U.S. that I've seen anyway.

I just saw where P1054 is to be auctioned. There is an ad about it on Hemmings.com at: Hemmings Motor News: Ford GT40 Classified Listings

The red car is P1057 owned by Greg Whitten and restored by Robert Ash. It can be seen at the racingicons website.

Tom, I installed heli-coils into the body. I too wanted to be able to take the pieces on and off easily for cleaning, etc. The coils do not stress the body and are invisible since they can be installed to just below the surface of the body. I used 6/32 stainless machine thread screws. You...

Allen, has she and you tried driving with the windows off the car? I installed helicoils in the body of mine so I can take all the plexi pieces on and off easily. I can see where someone could feel like they were limited on breathing air in a GT. I enjoy them off for a more open air feel...

Jim, unless I'm on the wrong page, I think you will want some kind of overflow bottle to push to/suck back from. Otherwise you will need to refill your header tank each time you take it out for a drive. I'm assuming you are using an original style header tank, which should be mostly filled and...

All I can say is they should've taken a look at your car, or taken a better look if they did. Your's is extremely vintage in it's overall appearance as well as dimensionally accurate.

I talked with a lady today (here near Kansas City) that saw a GT40 replica that was reported to be one of two done by Steve Saleen. Would this be a special edition Superformance? I've not heard any talk of a Saleen edition GT40 replica. She thought it was a big block car and said it had a...

Howard, Betty always has a great look. It sounds like the extra fun comes from her go stuff. Great pictures.

Hi Bud, I'm pretty sure all ERAs had monocoques. Also, the b-piller in picture three looks like it has the hard body line that leads to the top rear corner of the window like GTDs have.

Hope you had a super birthday today Jim. Thanks for sharing your cars with us over the years.

I hope I have this straight but GT106 and GT107 were the first two 427 cars that had the long noses. GTs 108, 109, 111, and 112 were the roadsters/spyders. I believe we have a number mix up. Can we see some recent pictures?

Hey Fran, so sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope you and your family can take some time to be together and miss him.

I plow our street with mine. The snow goes in the snout opening and out through the nostrils. That's why Ron's driveway looks so clean.

When global warming is given as the cause for record snows, it simply spells BS. A scientific theory can not solve both ends and be the answer to all related situations.
