Yeah, it's pretty exotic stuff. But Mark couldn't be more down to earth, he told me the restored car is too clean and need to have the patina of a couple of races under its belt to look right to him. Man, I would give anything to be at Rennsport to see this car run. Some club member should film this car and post to the site.

yes, someone definitely needs to film it! I had no idea that was a real GT, now it's even more amazing.

I really like that (looks like a bolt on) cage that the car being redone has. Any info on that cage...looks like the targa area is totally free, which makes it look cool. Thanks.

Hey William,
what can you tell us about that backpad replacement? I've removed mine and i was going to have a custom interior/carpet place make a molded/contoured carpet replacement. That looks exactly (if not better) than what i was going to do. And is that an access panel to the crank pulley? That could be a good idea i suppose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .tim |

This included the firewall - just felt covered. The access panel is random - not on all GT cars. Here is my removed backpad: Attached image(s)

Scott, I'm curious what you did just where the felt meets the rear glass? I reckon this will be quite hard to make good. Do you have any detailed pics?

Hiya!
I laid down a strip of black vinyl on the bottom edge of the glass (like the stuff they use to put graphics on cars). When I glued the carpet, I actually glued the top edge to this piece of vinyl. I cut the top edge of the carpet about 1/8" of an inch below the edge of the vinyl. It adheared great compared to the glass, and looks very finished - even though technically there is an exposed edge on the perlon. The perlon is great to work with, no freying = no binding and with heat and water you can stretch/form it around most everything. Makes sense why the factory used it. |
