I have a relative in the Tampa area that is looking to paint a restored 1962 Corvette. It is nicely done, but going to be a driver. The estimates he has received must be for a show car, they are astronomical. Does anyone know a shop in the area that does good paint work, but are not billing...

2006 Yellow NO OPTION GT. For those of you that went to the first rally, here is the perfect return. This is the 1592 yellow car that a lot of us took pictures of that was in the building process at the factory. It is a one-of-one car and one of the holy grails, the ONLY no-option yellow GT...

I know that this has be discussed some before, but I was thinking of a way for my simple brain to actually understand. At the Texas mile, let's say a stock GT, 550 horse and 500 feet pound of torque, can run 170mph. What would make the car go 180 - more horsepower or more torque? Is more...

I see they have posted the official 3 day event speeds, but we were not included. I would be interested in a thread for us on the forum that lists year, speed, octane tune / used, modifications, and tires that is ranked by speed. Would probably help people get some ideas on what works and...

Posted this under the Texas Mile thread but figured I would start a new thread so that others looking for pictures can post here too. We all took lots of pictures and might have some for someone else. For me, I am checking to see if anyone happens to have a picture of my car at the mile doing...

A while ago JBG had found US Fidelis and signed up for extended warranty. I did the same - covered both cars. They said "no problem", that was until I got the cancellation letter that stated the underwriters would not cover the GT. OK. So canned both policies. But wait, they said they could...

A couple us have talked about making a center cap for the standard wheel. Well, for me the problem is solved. I love the look of the standard wheels without the fake knockoff center. I used the lug nuts from the optional BBS wheels, and took off the casing to the valve stem so it is just...

I need to pull both the drivers side and passengers side kick panels in the footwell (warranty replacement). Anything special about pulling them that I should know?

Did a search, but only see car colors, stripes, and under clamshell silver. Does anyone have the name / code for the black that is on the rear screens and front screen (on the 05). I need the code for the aluminum replacement clamshell vents so they match what is on the car. Rather goe this...

Can you imagine that. 8000 miles in a GT and the one and only time I go over the speed limit I get a ticket. 68 in a 50. Open road - no issue. Just isn't fair. :biggrin Stinking radar hiding off the side.

NO WARP – EVER AGAIN. Sand-cast out of A-356 aluminum, a high quality aluminum. They look very good, but do remember that that these are sand-cast, not die cast, so they will not be “perfect”. Main difference will be that sand-cast tends to have a slightly rougher surface, but the surface...

OK. I'm a little slow and just figured out when I posted about the standard wheel thread, most will assume I am thinking of a forum thread link. I am looking for the actual thread specification (size) of the center of the standard wheel where the plastic cap screw in. I know it is metric, but...

Does anyone know what the thread is on the standard wheels where the plastic cap screws in?

We were having a "work on the GTs" weekend again with GT TEch. Ran into a snag and wanted to post so others can prevent the issue. If you are going to do the Ford Racing pully and tune, they do not come together. You need to order the tune from the internet and it takes a week or so to...

At the track day over the weekend, we met two soon to be European forum members that exported cars - one to Germany and one to Spain. Made me wonder how many cars have been exported. We had the 277 to Canada, and the 101 to Europe. I also recall when we did the Rally I tour there was talk...

Just a thought. Can we have a sticky where if someone has a factory / build picture of a car with the number on the window so there is a definite attribution, can we have a sticky where those can be placed? Seems we would all like picutres of our cars in the factory if they exist. I know I...

One of the other GT owners (not so computer literate) received a message from Ford (I think from National service) regarding wiring. I told him I would pass it along. It may help soeone down the road. Message states: ............We have concluded our review of your SPECS case xxxxx regarding...

Anyone of the group doing a GT / GT40 calendar? I would like to have one. If no one is, would be fun to put one together. Could use tour pictures, rally pictures, unique cars (I will volunteer a picture of the no-option yellow), signficant events and people, etc. In fact, there are so many...

Reply with info: Warp Top Vents (Yes / No): Warp Side Vents (Yes / No): Year: Exhaust: Exhaust Wrapped (Yes / No): Transaxle Cooler (Yes / No / Ford / Aftermarket): Geographic Location: Miles: Stock Motor: Pulley / Tune: Whipple: Turbo: Engine Run Warm / Cool...

OK. Here are the first prototype non-original style vents. Need some opinions. These are still rough, but want to know what you guys think before spending more time / money and maybe going in the wrong direction. I know they need need to fit closer to flush / level, etc,. Just looking...
