Holman Moody

[Dave Hood]

Paul Whitlock at Holman Moody has completed annual maintenance for my SPF MK I. If you've never had a chance to visit their shop here in Charlotte, it's like stepping back in time. They even have one of the original ocean containers that they used to ship cars to Lemans back in the mid-60's. The white MK II is one of the cars that Paul is building from the ground up using one of the original tubs and other parts that Holman Moody had in inventory back in the 1960s. Paul is a master with these cars, and his attention to detail and originality is meticulous. It's great to see Lee Holman's continued dedication to these cars.

Dave,
You are correct, Paul is a great asset to GT owners. The tubs however are Tennant Panels units that are not from the 60's GT program but rather made after Abbey Panels closed. Several original FAV/JWA cars have Tennant replacement tubs.

Hi Dave, what does your "annual maintenance" include? Thanks, D.

Hi Dave, what does your "annual maintenance" include? Thanks, D.

Depends on the year and what issues I'm having. Always includes a check of the wheel bearings. Paul replaced all four last month. Over the years, Paul has installed tons of upgrades on my car including Rick Muck's air sealing kit, upgrading the fan blower relay (an issue on older SPF cars), installing Dennis Olthoff's shift linkage upgrade, alignment of the front end, installing my current Holley Terminator-X EFI system, etc.

Dave, would you have a photo of the "shift linkage upgrade", Olthoff web site is still not active.

Dave, no need of photo, I found plenty on another post

What does the shift linkage upgrade achieve?
