Hey Everyone,
I got my Ford GT back from the GT Guys this past weekend and of course they did a spectacular job. I am posting a few photos, while she was there
we added a Whipple, Bridgestone tires, GTGuys X-Pipe exhaust, Sparco 6 point harness and a carbon fiber gurney flap. I did not get to drive her much as it was raining here most of the weekend, also yesterday I installed a Ford racing transaxle cooler and a Safecraft fire suppression system. We are leaving tomorrow morning to run in the Big Bend Open Road Race with her.

Steve

Hey, pull the white cap off your extinguisher and turn the system on or it's worthless.

Hey Frank, thanks for the heads up but we just had't done that at the time I was taking the photos

Beautiful color Steve, I bet you're pumped. Good luck at the BBORR.

How fast can the street rod class run?

Thanks for the comp's (everyone) The street rod class is a must for rookies. My target speed (average) is 90 mph and a top speed of 124 mph

I'll report on the event when we return

Thanks

Pleasure was ours

The pleasure was all ours. Yes this was a very lengthly project as the entire car was gone through from front to back, top to bottom. Thank you for letting us complete your project. That is our GTG carbon fiber rear wicker also. We have been making those for almost a year now. Now go have fun at the Big Bend Road Race and be careful.

May I ask what the "tweak" was. I ask because with all of the cars we work on they feel like the become part of the family and want to make sure they are taken care of properly.

Now back to work.
