If there was ever a though of selling our 19 NFGT that was put to rest after the AZ Rally. After 4200 miles of trouble-free driving, not counting a broken wheel, and my warranty coming to an end I noticed a few minor issues. After reading Forum comments and talking with Kevin, Ian and Joe I decided to ship my car To Milliken to address these issues and give me a thorough inspection.

Joe has gone out of his way starting with unloading my car on New Year's Eve when the dealership was closed. From day one he asked if I wanted updates of the entire process but warned not to freak out when I see pictures of my car coming apart. He sent me daily text updates and pictures since the project started and made this process educational and enjoyable. Thanks to Milliken and especially Joe for outstanding customer service!

That's correct Gary. The front fenders had to come off so I could remove the torsion bars to replace the 2 inch rocker nuts. The dash had to be removed from the car to replace passenger air bag cover. And the rest..........a few of have seen the hydraulic leaks so that's not to bad. If anyone has questions feel free to ask ........always willing to talk your ear off.

Sharp looking paint scheme. And it's always more relaxing and enjoyable to drive your car when you know any issues have been taken care of.

I think Milliken Ford trusts Wooley. Now, when you car goes there they will ask for money upfront!

I think he swapped your GT’s body on his Ferrari chassis! 😜

Yes, what did that maintenance cost to accomplish?
