Default The next build: 2005 Ford GT.....

.....in 1/4 scale! When I was picking up the 250 GTO body, I happened to notice two other small fiberglass bodies standing on end in the corner of the shop and as any inquisitive car dude would do, I asked "What is that and can I have it?"

These were 1/4 models made by Saleen and scanned off the real body so they're 100% true to form on the first series of Ford GTs. These were destined to be coffee tables and painted in the customer's color to match their car. The molds were crushed and only about 20(I think) of these were made. The bodies Gordon had were the last two and this was the last raw one left in existence. Of course, not knowing what I'd do with it, I had to have it. I had just enough room for that in the back of the uhaul after loading up the 250 GTO body.

So what do I do with it. Any thoughts? I have the wheels being made for it too. I could slice it in half and make two wall art silhouettes and sell one or both? Scan this and make a full size body then build a real one? Nah, I have another car to do first!

Anyway, a neat automotive thing that I have no clue what I'll do with but neat to think about!

Cheers
Dave
