A side bar... it was already warm before I spun her up.
Have a custom mount Olthoff made that mounts the plate down low under the "bumper delete"

'Much gooder' than slapping it onto the 'mesh...both in terms of looks AND venting engine heat. :thumbsup

Good luck getting Fenzo tho. I heard they took away a Bronco owners plate that said Buck Off
Also, We had a citizen's initiative to take away an excise tax that was about 2% of the cars value yearly.

Yeah, there have been a few 'called back' alright!
But the vanity fee itself has always been in addition to the excise tax. (I seem to remember the ORIGIONAL vanity fee was more like $50, wasn't it? How THAT got lowered to $35 [then to $32] in this state is totally beyond me!)

Entirely unoriginal but still mine. Can't wait for next spring to show up to Ferraris & Coffee in Denver
So I had put that on my mental list but I didn't think they'd go for it. F*** Enzo didn't seem to be one that Colorado would go for. May For Enzo worked?
I'm getting my GULF GT plates this week
Test fitting is complete for front canards now off to powdercoat for refinish. A little intimidating putting a drill to some virgin body panels that cost a few dollars. I used a brand new unibit. Worked like a charm with no cracking or fraying. Next, I am pulling the front clip to fix the misaligned alignment pins Also, will mount the rear spoiler this weekend and install the bearing caps on the front hub inners. I wish it wasn't January but that leaves lots of time before spring to keep tweaking here and there. What have you done so far to yours Tony?

Whose canards are those, Mike? They're the 1st I've seen with the curl-up on the outside edge.
I like the looks of those much better than the 'flat' versions.

You mean besides look at her in the garage?
Installed the license plate. Was worried a little that it might scuff the paint around it so went to the hardware store and bought 12 6mm washers (3 for each bolt) to stand it off a little. Want to get a frame. I have a really nice billet aluminum Shelby frame but it doesn't seem to fit the GT theme. Anyone here have a nice looking properly themed frame?
Trying to get motivated to pull the supercharger so I can get the oil leak fixed. Not yet decided if I'm going to send it for repair or buy a used one from one of the usual suspects and swap. But I'd have to swap the pulley which takes tools I probably don't have.
I did take her out for a short (6 mile) drive weekend two Thursdays ago to get the fluids running. Boy I wanted to unwind her but it was only about 50 or so and I don't trust the road temp yet.

Dennis Olthoff makes them. I too find them visually more appealing than the standard SPF fare.
Hey Tony, Kendall on here has a nice plate setup I bought for my GT that moves the plate off the rear surface a little bit improving airflow and preventing scratching.

Rear spoiler installed. Thx bro for the awesome vector graphics and vinyl work today. Lots more aesthetic and mechanical work to come.

Have I mentioned I hate, hate, HATE you, Mike?!!!!!!
Could/would you post a full width view of the 'spoiler...as well as a full rear view of the '40 as it now appears? That's gotta look nothing short of 'killer'.

It is starting to come together. With a plotter and unlimited supply of vinyl I have a couple other ideas to try before I show all my cards
I do think I am going to run the stripes on up over the engine vent and see how that looks.

In the vid below, are there any kind of "mufflers" ahead of the megs/cones, or whatever you wanna call 'em? Or is this setup sans same?
