Joahn, Love the car and what you've done to it. Envious of your roads too. What spectacular scenery.

You've obviously done things to your car that others have not. The window and light coverings come to mind. But I'd like to see more photos of the aluminum piece you have at the rear of the car. Not long ago someone posted about covering the rear brackets and you seem to have come up with an option. Can you provide details of this piece. If you've made other "mods" to the car post those too. It appears you have some white faced guages on the car. Lets see them up close and personal. Thanks and continued good motoring.

The car looks beautiful and the scenery is amazing. Great in every way

My concept of Heaven. Driving around in a stunning car such as this, with a partner or good mate, and viewing wonderful scenery. The more photos the better; really enjoying them, thanks.

looking good, also the surroundings in cape town when you look at those pictures...looks like you have some, nice roads to drive, with very nice views.
guess a aircon comes in handy with the temperatures in south africa? or is it in the south less hot then say in mid africa.

I will post some pictures on Moday of the Stainless steel plate I made to hide those ugly attachment points. The Smith guages were screenprinted white and looks very nice with the black leather dashboard. I also made some CAV badges for the dash and used some chrome trim for a nice finish. There are some stunning roads along the peninsula in Cape Town. The road in the pictures are used a lot for international car advertisements. And the weather, yes in summer I always use the A/C because temps average mid to high 30's on a good summers day. You are all more than welcome to come and visit - I'll take you for a drive along the coast - and that is a promise. Thanks for all the nice comments on my car, I am very proud of her.

pictures of the spoiler at the back. Made from 2mm Stainless. Attached a picture of the interior showing the white Smith dials.

 

[René]

that does look much better with that plate you made for that.

Johan, Now you've gone and done it!! Thanks for posting the pics of the rear plate you fabricated and the interior shot. But you'll be needing to post a "how to" on specs for this piece. It looks good and "flows" with the lines of the car IMHO. I assume its mounted to the brackets? Can you give dimensions for this piece? Thanks. Like I mentioned before someone was looking for this option just weeks ago.

 

[Johan R]

Just another picture showing the rear plate. I still have the CAD file, please contact me if anyone wants it.

 

[Jimmy P]

Johan, you have a pm.

Drove 500km from Cape Town to George for the George Motor Show. Had a run up the Outeniqua Pass before I left for home again. What a stunning drive it was, and got an average of 8.5km/L. (except going up the pass!!)

Backplate/ rear filler piece: After numerous requests and pm's I will batch send the drawing in a Autocad file and a jpg or pdf format. Please supply me with your email and I will send it off. All measurements is Metric (mm)

 

[Pat Buckley]

The file won't look that great on he back of my car........what are the chances of actually buying one?

 

[Johan R]

Hi Pat, I had it cut and rolled and did not do the work myself. I think any engineering shop will do that for you.

 

[Jimmy P]

Johan, you have a PM.

 

[René]

Johan, I think you own one of the finest/smoothest GT40 replica's I've seen...
it looks modern but also classic, all details so well made.
the surroundings from all the "plastic" covers and side windows, the side mirrors, the wheels/paint, the decals?, the nice color, the rear stuff.
just stunning.
I almost forgive you that you made it in RHD

 

[Rich Roy]

Now just get that shifter over where it belongs!! Right hand drive Rules! Happy motoring.......................(very nice car!!!!!)

 

[bob peckham]

Hi, did anyone get a copy or file on the rear filler piece yet
thanks Bob

 

[Jimmy P]

Bob, You have a pm.

 

[Johan R]

Hi Bob
I have sent the files off to quite a few people that mailed me. Please mail me if you want it. I also have the CAD file for the aluminium sill plate with the Ford sign.
