Simil R GT1 Ford GT
It has been a few months since I posted a WIP. So here goes:
Nothing fancy yet, but I did manage to cut the body parts off of the trees, sand them, and assemble the exhaust headers. I find it hard to believe that the engine block and heads are shown to be green and yellow, I would have to see a picture of that to believe it.

Re: Simil R GT1 Ford GT
It looked from Eric Cole's build that it might be some sort of heat-shielding foil? Check out Eric's build on AF. Here's the link:

Hope it helps.

Re: Simil R GT1 Ford GT
Thanks!!!
Those will help tremendously!!!!
Eric and I have had a few lengthy conversations about his build. He has given me some "Heads-Up" about several areas.

Re: Simil R GT1 Ford GT
I've heard. I'm not too concerned about fitment, as mine will be all opened up. Helps when things don't fit quite right!

Re: Simil R GT1 Ford GT
Hi Russell, Good to see a build from you, I think some of the engine colours are a reproduction of the computer drawings, not the actual colours so to speak.

Re: Simil R GT1 Ford GT
I certainly couldn't find any pictures of the car with a green engine block and yellow head covers.

Re: Simil R GT1 Ford GT
Hey eric--
Do you mind forwarding any ref pics you have for that car my way? I'd really appreciate it!
Are you doing any special projects for Atlanta this year? Just curious...
