Brian, this is going to be very interesting for me. I'm really looking forward to seeing this built! Back in 1966-'67, I had three different Ford GT kits. I bought them all while living in Geelong, Victoria, Australia as a 13–14-year-old. The original GT and the MKII models were finished, while the clear body J Car was never done. Recently, I uncovered various parts of all three kits during a scale model archaeological dig at our house. 😄 One entire model might be possible with all the sundry pieces left, but that would require the patience of Job, at least. 😁

The Ford GT is one of all-time favorites among racing automobiles and it would be one of my very first post-lottery win buys! 😉 😊

I’ll be interested in following this build, @brithebuilder, Fujimi have a great range of sports cars but the kits are quite dated now. They have a Ferrari P4 in their range, so you could do a Ford vs Ferrari scenario.

@chinesegeorge - Interesting idea George, I already have the GT I built with this in mind though... I'm ok with the dated Fujimi GT 40 alongside the newer Tamiya GT, kind of seems appropriate actually. I'm hoping it drills nicely for the LEDs.

Hi Brian @brithebuilder, I forgot to ask you which colour are you going for, blue, black, or gold?

Awesome entry, my friend @brithebulder!
Looking forward to it!

@fiveten - Thanks Spiros! This should be a fun one.
@johnb - Thanks John. The light blue and orange should contrast nicely with the dark blue metallic of the GT which also has orange interior accents.

Those seats look great, @brithebuilder, but you’ve got your work cut out with those etched parts.
