I have a 2005 Ford GT which had uneven body gaps from the factory on the passenger side engine clam shell and the front hood. I asked my local Ford dealership to fix the problem. Their body man looked at it and said, “It is a Ford GT. I am not touching it.”
I told the dealership that I had a friend, Bob Cunningham, who painted my
1966 Shelby GT350, and I was sure he could fix it. The dealership talked to Ford. Ford asked that I submit pictures and an estimate. I submitted the information and Ford approved it.
Attached are the pictures before and after.
After Bob had finished his work another friend at the shop observed Bob checking the gap with a micrometer. Bob and I both race SCCA. One time at the track I was looking at Bob’s jack stands. They were red on top and gray on the bottom – the same colors as his car. I said something about – “Is anal retentive hyphenated?” But then that is what I want in my body man.
Bob’s shop is in San Pedro. His number is 310 832-4309.
