Starting to reassemble the car , replaced most of the oil lines , replaced all 6 fuel pumps ,had Brown and Miller make the internal fuel cell hoses and they also made the oil system lines , had sent the air jacks out to be rebuilt but parts are no longer available so ordered new replacements which arrived today.
Some photos from earlier tonight

Looks far too nice to be a race car now. Great work.
Does that car have a VIN?

No , just a Matech serial number , I believe the first few cars were built up from road cars and then Ford Racing started selling chassis to Matech.

Soroush , my street GT is black , no stripes, thought about painting the Matech to match it but black is too hard to keep looking nice on a racecar.

Black no stripes..... now your talking my language,

but honestly I'm glad you didn't do the race car in black , the red really pops especially with the polished wheels, you could say you have somewhat changed my mind altogether about red cars after seeing yours

Thanks , I was hoping to get it on track this year but it's needed more work than anticipated so it looks like next year.
