The story of my 2017 NFGT #126 one of the very first delivered in Europe...

- Start date
I totally agree - I had that thought for a long time, and it turned out just as I wanted
We are in the process of converting to hand controls - quite a challenge.
Stay tuned...

I'm guilty from time to time of skimming posts and just enjoying the pics members post of their cars and then often on a slow day will get caught up with some actual reading. Just read this post from the start and all I can say is WOW and CONGRATS not only on receiving your fabulous car and your choice of color but more importantly your success at fighting back from your accident. What a great inspiration you are to all of us car enthusiasts!

I agree with SteveA, these delivery stories and attached stories are fascinating and never get boring. Congratulations on many fronts.
New times - NFGT goes green
Hi guys.
I'm so happy that my Le Mans Blue turned out as well as all the Photoshop creations I made through time.
But I'm also happy to have landed a sponsor for my GT, in the sense that when I will use it for the charity events www.sportscarevent.dk I will be representing a major Danish bank when raising money for the Danish children’s cancer foundation. In my 2005 GT I had about 1000 people in the passenger seat and they all paid around $250 for two laps at full blast round Danish circuits.
So the expenses for maintaining a NFGT for these events I really needed a sponsor, so it was a win/win when the Bank said that they would like the car in their color in exchange for a financial tribute to cover the running costs.
I know that some people would think it's a shame to cover up the Le Mans blue, but I feel fortunate to have a sponsor helping me out.
Here is a link to a video about the wrapping work done by the guy who does a lot of work for Tom Kristensen's Audi team. It's in Danish but I hope you will like it anyways.

Thanks for “re-introducing” yourself. I love seeing the two Heritage cars together. I own a 2006 Saleen S281in Heritage livery that Steve Saleen built for Rally I in 2006. We often bring the GT and Saleen together as a pair to shows, always a huge hit with the crowd. We also do quite a bit to raise money for charitable groups using the cars, it’s a wonderful way to give back.

Interior update..
As I have told you guys, I'll use my NFGT for charity events, and over the next 3 years I estimate I'll have about 1000 people in the passenger seat.
Imagine what that will do the the interior especially the seat and rocker panel cover. I went for standard interior and I've been dreading the thought of all these people scraping their shoes accross my alcantara, it will look a right mess in a very short time.
So....
I spoke to a guy who knows a guy that heard of a guy that works in a place where they do high end 3D printing...
And...
I'm amazed how spot on they turned out.
Now I just have to get Alcantara on them, and I can then store my brand new original panels away and not worry about panels on the car gettting a bit worn.

Seats
Knowing my seats will also get pretty worn from all the people buying high speed trips I did the following.
I had a upholstery shop remove the original seat covers (no problem by the way) and then I had them do me a new set to use for the next few years. Again I’ll store the originals away with my rocker panels, and they will come in handy one day.
I really like the GT40 seats with the vents that was replicated on the 2005/2006 GT.
Here is a GT40 seat.
And here is my new seat cover next to the original seat.
A little bigger vents than the GT40 but less of them like on the 2005/2006, a nice in between was what I went for.
More pics later, but the next week I’ll be holiday’ing in Florida, so not a lot GT action for now.
