Check My Girls new little 4 yr. old friend Jace the “Speed Machine”.His Paw Paw cuts my hair and he told me the Ford GT is his favorite car, so today he met her and was a little taken back to say the least when I pulled up. He was so excited when I told him i’d Come to take him for a ride then he said he didn’t know if he wanted to, until I started My Girl up and he jumped for joy. He knows everything about the GT and I have given him 6 different colored models. Check his excitement while we took him to a very special place to take his picture with Her namesake “The Phoenix”. Enjoy, I am in my element with these special little friends!

Well finally got the car back on the ground. Stripe came out pretty good and got my Michelin S4 street tires on the car. 345 on the rear that are a quarter inch taller, so for safety with only an inch wheel travel in the rear in track mode I added 6 mil on the bump stop. This will stop the tire from hitting the aluminum mount in the top of the wheel well that holds the inner wheel well liner in place. The tire is also three quarters of an inch wider which makes it super tight on the outside edge of the wheel well but it clears. I disassembled the suspension and ran the tire through its full wheel travel and measured everything for clearance to be sure. I'm somewhat paranoid at times. The sidewall beads cover the rim up much nicer also for protection. Very pleased with the outcome. I almost forgot I took these pictures in the little town at the elementary school I attended in the sixties. Hard to believe all these years later to sit there in this car. Sometimes life seems to be a strange thing indeed as you sit and reflect upon it.

wow you disassembled the suspension to check travel? thats hard core I usually just eye ball it, then shortly after hear the tires rubbing....
on my fox body
kidding aside I have actually always liked the look of a slightly oversized tire to wheel ratio (bulging sidewalls) car looks great. give us feedback once you have some miles on those tires.
