Any idea how much shipping would be for USPS to an APO address? I won't flare the car I have but one car is never enough.



We had another member ask and George said AA often sends to APO and FPO addresses. My understanding is there shouldn't be any additional shipping cost since flares weigh 22lbs and ship out of NY. Definately order a set for future builds. Or sell them for big $ profit overseas!

Guess I will miss out again. This is too short of n.itice to come up with the extra money unless I skip out on the Buttercup build in Kansas. I would have een good for a couple of sets after February but I am committed to the Kansas trip. I also noticed you didn't mention anything about that price being dependent on a minimum 40 sets being sold. Has that changed now & 550.00 is the price regardless of how many are so,d?


Donald


We will sell 40 sets! I have also listed on Club, Roadglue, Pelican, Rennlist, and Samba. If the racers wil post on the racing/ax sites, that would be great!

Thanks, Mark


Mark,

I'm not sure what your answer was to Donald's question. What happens to our $550 if we fall short of 40 sets? Will you ask for more money to cover any cost differential, or do we have the option to have the funds returned and our order cancelled on an individual basis?

I need to get to the Post Office to purchase the cashiers check/money order; one set of flares here.

Andys


I'll just trade all the money orders in to AA for a 914-6 :>)

No, really, I'll let the members decide what to do. But if all the people telling me, "the checks in the mail", put the check in the mail, we'll have 40 sets.

* I bet the members could get a group flare build together similar to the transmission clinic (past) and rust repair (future). East coast/mid/west coast. Drive in, weld, drive out. Production line style. Scotty B offered me a good price since I'm getting him to paint my car.

That would be awesome. The welder could be running constantly, but jumping from car to car to allow the metal time to cool in between beads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

There are many articles out there this fabulous car. The original won lemans first second and third in 1966 and won in 67 68 and 69 then Henry Ford decided he had beaten the europeans enough (Ferrari for the most part) so retired the car. The recreation was made in 2005 and 2006 only. It looks and is constructed so much like a Porsche 904 that I am sure that the ford engineers tore apart a few when designing the GT 40!
This is the only american car I own besides our original family 1964 Buick Riviera http://kaufmanphoto.zenfolio.com/p61120466...30722#h14d01258 and was very surprised at what Americans could create in a car if they really tried.

I actually was talking about the 914-6 GT (thought you had a blue one?) but the Ford will suffice.

I was not thinking as I drove that Ford in today!

The M-471 GT Has had several articles written about it by Brett Johnson in the past and they were published in Excellence magazine. It is a totally stock car as is as it was from the factory with steel factory installed flares fiberglass flared rocker panels, six inch fuchs alloys with 21mm wheel spacers and longer wheel studs, the standard six cylinder engine, and best of all a factory front flared steel valance to match the flared fenders. The big giveaway is that the side markers have been relocated downward from the non flared location just like they did with the USA 916.
What is funny is that we measured both the 916 and the 914-6 m-471 and the flare placement is different between them. I wonder what Steve's car measures?
One cannot really beat the look of the GT flares as they really add toughness to the car and by being able to add the wider wheels and tires, adds tremendous handling to the car, making it able to compete with modern cars with fat wheels and tires.
