I think that the FFR GTM car will basically be the GT40 with a different nose and rear. Maybe FFR will sell there kit minus these two items and someone out there can make these two bolton items at a reasonable price. When you look at the differences I think that is all there is to it. They are maintaining the GT40 doors roofline.. I'd say its a GT40 in disguise. Ecuse me.. I just went and looked at the GTM car and they did modify the roof by installing a scoop and the doors to follow the flow of the body. But really these are cosmetics. If it werent for the Shelby/Ford lawsuit issue FFR could easily sell this kit with 2 different body options. 1 The GT40 vintage style or 2 the retro modern style. Interior frame everything else remaining the same.
Datonbill or Bill, Its too bad that there is some friction between you and FFR, but like marriages sometimes things can be worked out. $10,000 for these molds may not be a bad price. Maybe you can workout a joint venture with FFR to supply the vintage GT40 bodys as a side company not under the lawsuit agreement. This could be the answer, and people are working in the areas where there best expertise are being utilized. Just a thought.
