Stevo after all you have been through, I'm glad you will finally be able to enjoy the car.
On another note I received the notice last week for the Chapter 7 filing of Mark Gerisch. The Genaddi experience just never seems to go away.

Hi Stevo:
Congratulations! I'm sure you'll find the wait worthwhile.
I'm considering asking Kip to re-do the roof on my X1. Can you send me at sbw@fedbanklaw.com (or post on the Forum) some more detailed pictures of the roof Kip installed?
All the best,
Steve

Hi Rick:
I received the same depressing Bankruptcy Notice. Thankfully, life goes on.
Missed you at GT Rally 7 in New Orleans. Great trip with Bernard Guerin as my co-pilot, except when I mistakenly took a handicapped pedistrian walkway for the front driveway at the hotel and destroyed my splitter! It's truly amazing the things I'm capable of doing while stone-cold sober AND actually trying to be careful at the same time.
All the best to you,
Steve

Please have a look at:

you have all the building process.
I'm just waiting now for the soft canvas (from Kip).
It's worth doing it. Kip has performed an excellent job. I hear no noise at all and the car is waterproof.
If you are tall, maybe it's worth considering to lower your seat !

Thanks for the pics. It couldn't look more professional! Kip has truly outdone his employer in both design and execution. Congrats on being the first to own and enjoy the fruits of Kip's amazing talent and labor of love.

I love them. The thought of taking a SawzAll to my car makes me cringe but I think they look cool. Would it be blasphemous to do one to a Heritage? Are there any others? I'd like to see what one looks like.

'Couldn't agree more! But, what's the ole saying in the auto hobby world? "Anybody can restore a car. It takes a REAL MAN to cut one up!"
Some would opine it's a blasphemy to do it to any FGT.

What number did Genaddi Design assign to your GTX1? It's my understanding that less than 30 GTX1s were actually produced by Genaddi Design.

Not a hi-jack, but your car was one of very favorite at the Rally. Love the color scheme. Surprised the "Saints" did not ask you to do some promo work! haha
Beautiful car!

Why does the paint selection make a difference? Let's face it, a "Heritage" is the same GT as all the others under it's skin color. And, while I loved John Wyer's organization, the GT40's that he ran were privateers, not factory cars. And, they (P/1074 and P/1075) were rebuilds of Mirages (M.10002 and M.10003). There is a lot of hype in the forum about the increased worth of the "Heritage" model, which was originally priced by Ford as a $13,500 option (Wow!). Seems like Ford was making a nice profit on the Gulf sponsored colors, after dropping their own sponsorship of the GT40's and forcing Wyer to obtain funding from an independent source.
In actuality, the true winning Ford heritage colors should be the "Mark II Black with Silver Stripes" version (1966 Le Mans Winner P/1046, a Mark II GT40), and the "Mark IV Red with White Stripes" version (1967 Le Mans Winner J-6, a Mark IV GT40).
I'm not trying to demean the current GT Heritage models, as I think thet are a wonderful tribute to John Wyer Associates, and their great efforts that continued the domination of Ford at Le Mans and other international races, and for bringing the Gulf Oil Corporation into sponsorship of international racing.
So, concerning "Blasphemous" to cut up a GT, I think that having the orignal champion of the GTX1, namely Kip Ewing, modify a GT to the alternate configuration would be a tribute. And, having Kip doing it (instead of Gennadi) means that it will be done correctly and properly. For those who wish to have the GTX1 configuration, I would maintain that any color would be a great choice, and only depends on the desires of the purchaser.

Kip has transformed this GTX1 into a concours example of masterful design, engineering and technology. Congratulations Stevo and Kip!
