I believe they are HRE P104SC Series P1SC. They were on the car when I bought it from Ed Sims.

Happy Halloween! Volunteered for a local community parade along with a Back to the Future DeLorean, three Jurassic Park vehicles, local police patrol cars, and perfected the left hand window toss of candy and stickers to 400 homes. Fun times, and they really loved checking the GT out at the post parade show.

Also, a nicely wrapped Lightning McQueen at the show.

Joined up with about 20 Porsches for a 2.5 hour drive through the beaches and twisty roads of south Orange County, CA. A guy in a GT350 followed alongside my GT and eventually we met up at a break. He said it made him so happy to see my car on the road and that he was going to follow it wherever I went. He appreciated the closer look.

Love the sound of the flat plane six in the GT350! So much fun. He was a young guy really enjoying his own dream car - fun to look back upon my early days of a '97 Roush Stage II Mustang and a '96 Cobra Mustang.

It was a nice escape, and fortunate to have good weather with only slight little sprinkles. No real rain.

Sadly learned today that Instagram Model Joselyn Cano allegedly passed away during recent elective surgery at age 29. She eventually became known as the "Kim Kardashian of Mexico," with over 12.9 million followers on Instagram. I had worked with her on head shots in the early days back in December 2012 as she was starting out with just 35K followers on Instagram, when she was just 22 years old, and an Import Tuner cover model. And also a little later on a photo shoot in my studio, with the photograph below, which we created a professional promo reel for a project.

Life is short.

RIP Joselyn Cano.

Cano's family is yet to release an official statement addressing the tragic news, but several users on Twitter have claimed that she died in Peru (or possibly Columbia) during a surgical procedure.

I also heard from a source that both of us knew, that her funeral was today.

Reports are conflicting and unofficial. Some say Columbia, some say Peru. Some say she is still alive, some say she passed away and that the funeral was today.

Saw this at a local Cars and Coffee meet up today. Had never seen one before. Apparently these "GTTs" were made around the year 2016. A body kit supposedly inspired by our Ford GT's. I didn't recognize it when I first saw it, I didn't know what it was.

Love that you kept the base wheels on it. I just put base wheels on mine. They’re unique to the FGT, whereas other cars are now using wheels that look like the optional forged BBS wheels.D1C0BA69-1CE8-43BB-8F5A-A0CE1AA0C29F.jpeg

Do we have a "thumbs down" button?

Haha. Yeah, I still don't know what it's trying to be.

I read somewhere that Ford had considered an infringement lawsuit.

Perhaps they decided the market would punish the vendor enough as it is.

PeteK. Funny, I just put the standard wheels on my GT as well. I remember when I got my GT, I thought, I'm going to pick up a set of standard wheels, and put them away in safekeeping, since I think it'll be fun to run them a decade or so later, since everyone will have the BBS.

A very unique and clean design in their own right.

Truth be told, I actually miss my optional BBS forged wheels though, and will probably swap back soon.
