Sad news - he was soooooo responsible to the GT programs --- I wish him the best in his endeavors!

Yup, 20 years at Ford & on to bigger & better things! How about that back log of CF parts for GTs? Whoa - let's not go there! Good luck Kipster!

There are a ton of Kip's CF parts on my GT, inside and out.

Of course. Misspelled One vs On. Probably that darn auto-spell correct thing again turning a sentence into gibberish.

I meant those aftermarket parts Kip was offering some time ago.

Good luck to Kip wherever he's going. He's designed what I consider the most beautiful modern car in my stable, GTX 1 #13.

Plus I also own a ton of his quality CF products for both my GT's,

Years ago, I remember getting the PM from DBK saying that my presence was requested in a thread, with a link.

I was thinking to myself, "did I piss someone off somehow?"

Well, to my surprise, I had actually won something, and something major.

I had won the Carbon Fiber center tunnel that Kip Ewing generously donated to the GT Forum. A couple weeks later I would run into Kip at the local So Cal Cars and Coffee when it was back at Ford PAG Irvine.

Thank you Kip and DBK, it was the best thing I ever won in my life. Just the other day my son was commenting on how much he liked it and how nice it looks in our GT.

Good luck to you!

I have his carbon fiber center console glove box. I did some Web surfing and found a site that looked like you (Kip) were going into insurance sales to the wealthy. Big change from Auto engineering. Good luck Kip.
