StormCat, I paid 2 workers $10 each (that's like 1 million Canadian) to throw some loose nuts and bolts into your doors to drive you nuts. Your buddy.

What date did the video get shot?

We visited May 16th. Yes I think that was Leno's car in the soak test but don't know for a fact.

What !!!! Jeez... I feel slighted... they didn't let me bring my camera crew and no personal meet and Great from HF3 !!! Wait until I see him at LeMans !!...:lol:lol

But seriously thank you and good timing !!! ,, I would say you were there just days before I went up.. I am the white no stripe # 56 you videoed.. shown at 9:52 .. My engine was in place when I saw it.. I couldn't take my own pictures but you have done better for me !! I am now video Immortalized !! Thank you Alan !! !!

I would say that was sometime the week of May 15 .. For the record you got to see more than what the average tour would be.. Or maybe they heard about my reputation and figured I'd walk off with a pocket full of lug nuts or something.. so they kept me more contained.. :biggrin

Thank you again !! ,, now counting the days..

Honestly I wasn't allowed to take pictures either...

That was about my estamate based on the Cars in the Video and the state of my car in your video. I had my tour 1 week later on May 23.

Honestly I wasn't allowed to take pictures either...

It's a great behind the scenes look.. I'm glad you could share it.. Was happy to see my car naked.. I's neat to peak inside the bare cockpit and see the roll cage etc,, . So putting timelines together the Liquid gray car I saw there was probably Jack Roush's GT .. neat stuff !!

I can always count on you to shake up my world.. People say I'm nuts so it's probably fitting !

This video is the one that fascinates me most, of all those, that were made on the Ford GT 2017.
Birth of an Art Object in the search for perfection ... Everything I love!
The most interesting dimension of an Art Object, is not the object itself, but everything that happened in the spirit and the hands of the Artist to obtain its birth.

I will probably watch this video every day.
