  5. That's just beautiful scale modeling, Allan @kalamazoo! 🤩 Wow! 👏

  6. Beautiful job on a beautiful car. As a side note, I had the pleasure of driving one of the Le Mans cars after they returned to the States. Gulf Oil took them on a promotional tour of the US...they made them more or less "street legal" replacing the race engines with Ford 289s. My Dad was an executive with Gulf in New Orleans at the time and I was able to get a drive. I still have the Gulf Racing Team orange windbreaker jacket they gave me.

  7. Nice work Alan. the GT-40 is terminally cool and always will be.
