Yours is Lookin Good !!!

Hersh,

Congratulations mate, you have a great looking car. I look forward to seeing her soon.

Best wishes,

Robert

Man, that is good looking. i bet you have walked around it 100 times just looking at it. I have been working up the courage to paint my car, but I can't stand the thought of it being unavailable for the downtime.

 

WOW!!! This just makes me more excited about getting started.

Hersh,

Looks Sweet! I think the color is perfect for a '40- outstanding yet somewhat restrained.

BTW, the NACA ducts in the nose are not functional?

Hersh,

Very nice job and excellent color choice. Is the silver a Porsche color. A good friend just picked Meridian Metallic from Porsche which is very similar to your color.

Congrats,

Keith

 

Sensational looking job Hersh. congratulations

John

 

Excellent color choice! I am planning on silver with black stripes or gulf stripe as well.

 

The pictures look great. Believe it or not the car is even better in person. Who knew these cars could be so beautiful.

Very nice...

Care to share the paint codes???

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

Hi Hersh! It looks fantastic. Would you post paint numbers and what kind you used, if you don't mind? It will be one sweet ride when it's rolling.

Hershal,

tis beautiful! The silver and black really looks good, even better than I thought it would, and that was nice.

Thanks guy for all the nice compliments.
Jim, I used spies-hekker urathane base
coat clear coat. I don't have the number
for spies-Hekker but they cross referenced
the PPG number for me. The color is
a 1994 Lamorghini color PPG 35989. I normally
use Dupont Crhoma-base but this stuff is
far better. It really goes down well and covers the best I've seen. I especially like
the way the clear buffs and polishes. As you
know the real work is in the preparation.

Beautiful, Hersh. I haven't seen one in that color before, at least not in color. Nice work!

Regards,
Mark

 

Hersh,

It looks like another beautiful Roaring Forties GT40 is about to hit the road. Congratulations. Now, you've got me pumped up to get on my GT40 project!

Thanks and have fun!

John

By the way, I received an email from a GT40 CD customer who said,"Remember that racecar spelled backwards is still racecar."
Cool, huh?

 

hersh, the pics dont show in netscape 4.7, but does in 6.2, is that a host issue?

Hershal, the 40 looks great. I went to the Spies Hecker web site,( USA, there are others for the UK, and the like ), and was amazed. It appears that they are part of the DuPont Co.. Check this site out. http://www.spiesheckerusa.com/bowstreet/com.bowstreet.service.DPCLoginMNF/Method:external

This site, also shows that Silver has out done White as the most popular color WORLD WIDE. If anyone was at Carlisle, last week I was VERY impressed with the House Of Kolors blue on the 30th Anniversary Diablo located in the same building as the ERA 40's. At any rate your 40 looks GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!

I put up six new photos of the GT40.
They show the dash and the front clip completed. Notice how the paint reflects
the florescent lights and the flash on the
camera. The dash is completed and wired.
I started laying out the carpet and insulation today. I hope to have the interior done this week. I added brake fluid
and pumped up the system. They feel good and
the pedals work great. The steering wheel
is temporary until my Motolita gets here. I
kind like this one even though it's a cheapy.

Hershal, that car looks gorgeous, and the color scheme appeals to me more each time I view it. But for God's sake, get that car out in the Arizona sun the next time you take any pictures!

Mark
