Hi chip. I don't think so. And I have never met the guy.
Here are some pics for you.
Saw it live at the plant. And I don't think the colours went together that well.View attachment 47799FB_IMG_1505092452543.jpgFB_IMG_1505092446212.jpgFB_IMG_1505092459663.jpg

This sounds like an interesting combination. I punched it up on the configuratior and it looked cool. Is the owner a member here? Photos??

Chip

Chip he is not a member that I know of. I haven't met the guy either.
Saw the car at the plant and not sure the colours went that well together. I think the shades of the yellow and blue just didn't fit well. Here are some pics for you.FB_IMG_1505092459663.jpgFB_IMG_1505092456041.jpgFB_IMG_1505092452543.jpgFB_IMG_1505092446212.jpg

not sure. I like this combo but the shades of the blue or yellow IMHO didn't seem to blend well. Now it was in the plant and not in the inpsection booth when I saw it. Maybe in there and out side it looks great. I just couldnt tell.
Still a great car none the less.

Is this the standard pallet "Triple Yellow" or Chip's "Speed Yellow" ?

Andy (ajb)l

Andy,

That car is standard pallet Triple Yellow. Triple Yellow has a lot of green in it which may by why the blue stripes don't compliment it quite as well. Still, I like that yellow GT with blue stripes. I like Yellow GT's period. In direct sunlight the Triple Yellow looks great. But in the shade or at night it's not quite as bright.

Speed Yellow ('06 GT Yellow) has a lot of red in it and is noticeably brighter. It looks great and direct sunlight and still has a lot of pop in the shade and at night. Sitting side by side there is a big difference which would mess with my groove when I display them together at Cars & Coffee so I had to paint the new GT to match the old GT.

My new GT is finished, inspected, and ready to ship. In my mind's eye I can already see them parked side by side (or over & under) in the Beck's Landing garage. I'm on a continuous high.

Chip

Thx guys. This experience has been outstanding. The Ford Multi Matic team have been the best I have experienced.
Guys there is still more to come. I am telling you this is just the mid point. There is more stuff coming regarding this whole ownership of the new Ford GT.
Hold on to your hats gang. It's only going to get better!!!��

Congrats 06fordgt! I can't to see how it looks in person. I may be back in Ontario in June '18 (not for my NGT but the reenactment). Your car looks great even without the orange!

This is the first commercial use the car by a 3rd party. The local car hauler asked to use my car when he picked up in a pic for his Xmas card.
I said sure go ahead.

Fun! I had an environmental toxicology lab, of all things, use a photo of my '06 Ford GT in front of their lab for business cards. I forget what slogan they went with.

That’s funny. I use environmental toxology signs on my race hauler to ward off thieves.

I recall Stormcat used "Radioactive waste" decals on his trailer for one of the rallies. Didn't work out too well I remember.

I stuck some 3"l "Danger--Ejection Seat" stickers on my doors at Rally 12. The stickers were white and red, which went nicely with my red car. Now I have to hunt down some "Danger--Jet Intake" stickers of the right size to put in front of my air intakes.
