After several years waiting for my ducks to fall in a row, I paid a visit to Fran yesterday to put a deposit down for a Deluxe Plus Mk I GT40 package. As far as I can tell, it will eventually be the only GT40 prowling this side of Wyoming.
As timing has it, I caught Fran and company in the middle of a move to new spaces. Those who have visited perhaps would agree with my being amazed with their production pace given the limited square footage of the old premises. Cramped indeed. Despite being pulled in three directions at once, Fran took the time to offer me a tour of the new facility not far down the road from the old.
They will now have three times the space of the old to do what they do best. Lots of square footage to allow each project its own space, a separate space for machining, a separate room to whittle on fiberglass, a space isolated from the factory area for race R&D, another separate space for a showroom and carpeted office space with multiple rooms are some of the features I saw.
This can only mean good things for the industry we support and the products we lust after.
