The GT Guy LLC is pleased to show a sneak peak at the latest project that we have completed in conjunction with Camilo Pardo. The “Merkury 4”. The new base color started out as Mirrachrome “tweaked” to Camilo’s specification. The center stripe is florescent orange with a satin black pinstripe. This car has come a long way from being a solid red Ford GT and has been quite the feat for the past few months, but it is now it is finally done!!! I will let the pics speak for themselves.
The Merkury 4 will be officially unveiled tonight at Camilo’s annual Designers night party.

This car has a ton of mods in it:
Custom paint: Mirrachrome abstract with flouresent orange center stripe separated with a satin black pinstripe
Custom stickers designed by Camilo Pardo
Custom painted silver calipers
Polished Gen 2 Whipple with GTG cold air kit with 725rwhp @ 19lbs of boost on a very conservative 91 octane tune, with Accufab throttlebody
Custom Hot Rod black painted valve covers
Molded in and smoothed clamshell intakes
Cermanic coated Ford Racing catalyst eliminator pipes
Custom HRE center-bolt rims with 275/30ZR19 front and 345/30ZR20 rear Michelin tires
GTG “Vintage” bumper delete kit
Passport radar detector/jammer system
Custom “FORD GT” billet fuel door
Billet clamshell center and side clamshell vents
GTG clamshell release hooks
Penske triple adjustable shocks with custom alignment lowered about 1”

does the silver look like a semi (light) matte chrome in person?

It takes a talented artist to compliment colors and this combo is unbelievable. I have seen this combo once before on a cigarette boat.

Yep!

I think they get the hang of it long before delivery to the first owner and they still do even more amazing things each year!
