Spirit: Sounds like you two had a great time. Wonderful time of the year. Best, - doc

I shall try again; set aside your college and grad school econ, analytic geometry and stochastic processes educations. This is straight forward divison: a. U.S. Population = 295,734,134 b. 3656 Ford GTs were made for the U.S. market c. (plus 277 for Canada and 105 for Europe). Assuming for a...

There are 295,734,134 people in the U.S. Less than 4,000 will ever have the opportunity to own a Ford GT. I do not think anyone needs more exclusivity than that. - doc

Rain? RAIN? You drive your GT in the rain? Blasphemy! Yes, I can see how they would repel moisture. They are very heavy guage material. They would repel the seasonal rains in Vietnam. Then, again, I am still in Saigon in my mind. - doc

Paul: They are very stiff and appear to be pure canvas. They seem ideal for global protection. They are not designed for casual use. Likely, as you state, there are simple generic covers that would meet the need. Atomic GT: Yes, there seem to be many straight forward ways to protect the...

Paul: I think that the Ford Racing covers are likely ideal for track events. They are very heavy duty, canvas-like covers which fasten to the stock seats (snap, buckle). What would be better would be more of a slip cover arrangement that you could use briefly and remove. The Ford covers are...

We bought, but will not be using, the Ford Racing seat covers. We do, however, need easily removable covers to protect the factor seat, not look heinous and be used only occasionally. There have been discussions of floor mats all the way from pink velour to Pep Boy specials, but I did not...

Hi Bruce: His GT shifted butter smooth with minimal effort even when granny shifting. Hard to define travel percentage but it was certainly a great deal less travel than my stock shifter...felt like 30%, but, again, that is just a guestimate. I like the build quality of the Ford Racing...

I was able to drive a local car with the shortened short-shifter. The fellow uses the same machine shop that I have used for other fabricating work. I liked the way it shifted. It was tight and secure, but I do understand your reservations, and you should avoid such a permanent alteration...

It will get there. It is a long wait, but it is a quality product. If you have not seen one, you will be impressed with the manufacturing of the unit. Let me know when it arrives. - doc

Yes, it was from Ford Racing. Arrived on Friday; ordered in May. - doc

Received the short throw shift. Plan on shortening the shifter by .75 inches and rethreading the shaft. Wondering if anyone has performed this machining on their short throw unit. - doc

Bony: It would be a slippery slope for me to value objects more than people. If I had not truly loved the car, I would never have bought it. But I also like changing cars, owning multiple cars and never place objects very high on life's priority lists. People assess life differently...

Sorry, but I would sell my GT in a skinny minute without hesitation. Nice car, beyond meticulous condition, but...guitars, guns or cars...those which I own are always for sale. There is always some other purchase that intrigues me. A truly good and sincere/immediate offer, and my car...or...

The group buy did not form. I placed my order with: Curt Warstler Sign A Rama Lakewood, CO 80227 O: 303 914 9700 F: 303 914 9799 curt@signaramacolorado.com Anyone interested should contact Mr. Warstler directly. - doc
