Desi, I know wesite updating is a pain but I think we all here would like to follow your racing closer. Any chance you can post pics as you go or links to news?:thumbsup

PS.
And if you tear one up give Tim C a call he has a few spares:lol

Yeah I know - Too busy right now and also need to ask the Matech team first, which of my pictures I can disclose to you. Interesting story will follow - promissed (GT Joey will hopefully not be mad about me when he will read it :biggrin!)

In the meantime, here is another flame shooting Matech GT vid for you guys :thumbsup

Not to share a kill story, since I never violate the laws of man and nature. A certain GT3
was tail gating me. I increased my safety margin, Then saw my exit ramp coming up, backed off hard and down shifted, I was told that the flames where three feet long... The GT3 pilot damn near drove off the road... damn Volkswagens :)

" damn Volkswagens "...:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Have you guys noticed the evolution of the front air dam styles in the pics. Desi do you know the story behind this?

It also looks like the hood is shaped a bit different at the vents.

Is it possible to get one of the those noses?

Here are some pics from Matech's GT3 conversion cars! What an experience to see (and hear) this car in real. The other pics shows some part of the stock I bought from Matech - the rest of the 4 new GT's they had stripped :biggrin

Will post some technical details about the Matech GT3 this week-end

Enjoy, Desi

i see they have lots of spare parts. with that said this may seem like a dumb question but with so few ford GT's made has ford made all the spare parts for the car that they are gonna make or are they gonna still be building and selling spare parts for this car 20 years from now?

That's a great question...

I was wondering about parts availability also. I was wondering if they just made a bunch of spares and warehoused them, with a continually dwindling supply as time goes on...

In the mid '70s when Ford discontinued the DeTomaso Pantera, Gary Hall bought up all of the surplus stock. Hall Pantera was born and has lasted better than 30 years giving Gary and others a good living. There is a business opportunity for someone there no doubt.
