    Wheels...

    Good advice here. I had a tire shop F*** a set of GT wheels up badly when they took off the stick on wheel weights with an ice pick. Let them know ahead of time exactly what you expect. Chip

    2021 Chip's Ford GT Cathy Rankin Calendar

    Gentlemen, I posted up a while back about a photo shoot Dillon Precision did with my 2017 GT and Arizona's coolest chick, Cathy Rankin. Cathy did a photo shoot with Dillon 15 years ago with a 2005 red Ford GT that was a huge hit. She was 35 years old back then and they wanted to duplicate...

    27 LITRES....

    Gentlemen, I return to this thread often to look at the photos. The scope and scale of this project completed in a home garage is unfathomable to me. I'm seeing progress photos and I've been to Dave's house to look at the actual car so I know it's real, but it's still hard to believe one man...

    Seller's remorse...

    Tomcat, I bet just about every member here has a story about the car they sold and regretted parting with. I've got a couple but here is the big one for me. First year 1969 Trans Am Ram Air IV 4-speed. Only about 50 Ram Air IV's out of the 694 T/A's built that first model year. It was...

    What would you be looking to buy next?

    I'll PM you my cell #. Too much to write. But a couple things I'll put here. I'm 5'11" and I did not fit comfortably at all. Had to remove the quick disconnect steering wheel to get in and out. And compared to my 2006 GT the Superformance GT handled like a school bus. Remember how the...

    What would you be looking to buy next?

    I thought I wanted one of those until I drove one both on the street and on a track. I didn't like it at all. Chip

    Unexpected Avatar

    Gentlemen, This morning the GT truck and trailer driver for Sanderson Ford picked up my GT for it's final warranty adjustment. His name is Austin Day and while loading up my car he asked if I'd like to see a drawing he did on his IPad of my two GT's? Well of course! I think what he did is...

    New V8 in the works??

    Pete, When I bought my F-150 I drove the Ecoboost V-6 and the 5.0 V-8. I chose the 5.0 because of simplicity, sound, and feel. I've towed my boat and GT trailer all over hell and back and the 5.0 did a great job but for strictly towing the V-6 would have been better. 75% of my truck driving...

    looking for a picture

    Tim Cantwell painted the 10 spoke wheels a different way but I don't have a photo of it. I think it was on his yellow GT and he painted the wheel centers black. Send him a PM. Chip

    What have you done with your new Ford GT?

    Ah! Got it. I never actually saw them before Rich refinished them and I thought he told me they were red. Now I need to get the calipers on my '06 GT finished in Speed Yellow as well so the cars match. Chip

    What have you done with your new Ford GT?

    Gentlemen, When I ordered my new GT I wanted gloss black brake calipers to match the ones on my 2006 GT. Surprisingly black was not one of the options early in 2017 (it's available now). How about yellow then? No, that's not available either. So I ordered red and that was fine UNTIL....I...

    A solution to valve cover bolt Corrosion......ARP replacements

    Gentlemen, When something like this pops up and I think back to when these cars were new or nearly so it's amazing how much aftermarket stuff was produced for 4038 cars. I miss having all those items available. These bolts were fantastic and mine still look great today. I'm pretty sure I...
