Hey gang, Ron Earp had a great idea that I should also offer Lolas, P4s, 817s & J cars (other suggestions welcome) for embroidery besides GT40s and Cobras, but after a not-very-exhaustive search, I haven't found the pics I'm looking for here to model my designs on. So if any of you have...

Pat & Jack, Thanks for the kind words! Pat, I can embroider your car on a nighty if you like...of course if it's too slinky, I'll have to do it as a patch...And congrats on the 3rd place finish! Ron, Thanks for the suggestions. I'll email you to get a better idea about the "non-GT40"...

OK, guys, we're up and running. You can access my site by clicking on my banner when it appears at the top of the page or by going to the "Advertisers" section and clicking on my banner there, or by going to www.GTexDesign.com/index2.html Many thanks to Ron for letting me test the waters for...

Thanks Julian, I'll follow up.

Randy, I wondered about that as well. A flammable patch on the outside of a fire-resistant suit wouldn't pose much of a threat, but the thread that penetrates the suit (the thread that holds the patch to the suit) would expose the wearer. I'll try to find out, but it may be easier to get...

Hi Tom, I'll be online shortly, and I'll have a banner ad here on GT40s.com that will go directly to my webste when clicked. I'll email you as well in case you miss it. Thanks, Ron

John, The difference for me is that RCR also make the MkII and MkIV bodies, and you can put a big block and a Ricardo or just about any other trans in them.

Iain, I put an inquiry in with Dupont about buying Nomex by the yard. Waiting to hear from them. Ron

Simon, he has a build log here. Very impressive fabrication skills, lots of pics, and YouTube links both with and without mufflers. A great read and a beautiful car. Look for BigB98's MkIV build log.

Iain, I'll look into Nomex, but any thread used will still have the same qualities. I have done patches for some of my Cobra buddies' racing suits. The backing for a patch is just one sheet of material with a couple of layers of thread over it to make the background of the patch. But I will...

I'm hoping that's the case, Mike. Just wanted to make sure there was interest.

Can do, Mike. My website will have a catalog for hats, t-shirts, polo shirts, denim shirts, hoodies, windbreakers, camp shirts, bombers, just about anything you would want a GT40 on (and maybe some stuff you wouldn't). And if I don't show it, that doesn't mean I can't get it. Ron

Thanks for the interest so far, guys. Here is some of the artwork, a couple of pictures of actual stuff I've embroidered, and the last one is a t-shirt I'm thinking about having screen-printed, again if there's enough interest. Ron has been gracious enough to allow me to "test the waters", so...

Hi all, I started this thread with Ron Earp's permission as a one-post entry to gauge interest in custom GT40-themed embroidered clothing. If I get enough responses, I'll advertise on GT40s.com as a regular vendor with a link to my web site. The site is not yet online, and will only become...

I knew George and his wife Diane through the Houston Cobra Club. He was a proud war veteran with a youthful, mischievous twinkle in his eye, and he loved to tell jokes and stories at our meetings. His generosity can be summed up by his recent contribution of a Lone Star GT40 replica to...

Shawn: Thanks! That'll be a big help when the time comes. Bill: I went through a similar (excruciating) process in CT to get my Cobra on the road, but bringing it to TX was a snap. A simple safety inspection, which every car must go through every year here, registration transfer at the DMV...

I agree with Johann. My Yellow Pages advertising used to cost me $700/month for a 1/16 page display ad, so I consider the rates here very reasonable. While GT40s.com reaches a much narrower audience than many advertising media, every member/viewer is a potential buyer. In the marketing world...

Another solution is to put a small ramp in front of the trailer's wheels (even a 2x12 may suffice, depending on the severity of the angle). Assuming the trailer has two axles, you can pull the trailer forward enough to get the front wheels on the ramp, but not the back ones. This will raise...
