The BIG GT 40

[maverick]

Here it is as promised folks!!! The car that gave Enzo fits! Its loud! Its brash! Its been caressed by the Gurus at Shelby American after Lola handed Ford one of their old designs. 600 plus horsepower! 427 Cubic inches of unadulterated V8 power. Did I mention the car is only slightly larger than a picnick table??
The End

Just a truly incredible result. This build was a joy to follow along with. Such fantastic work with awesome details everywhere. You nailed it. I also use a cat for scale comparison. 😂

Whatever praise you get from everyone here as well as at any contest you go to is most certainly well-deserved Pete. You've set the bar high with this build with all of the crazy attention to detail you've put into it. Just amazing to see from ANY angle you look at it. I've gotta hand it to ya bud......you're a frickin ace at auto building.

I have no words...

[maverick]

Thank you all for the kind words. It was quite well received at Rocon 41. There was even a guy there who actually owned a street version back in 67. He was floored by it. Brought back fun memories for him. That would have been enough for me. His enthusiasm for this model made my day. The wins were just icing on the cake. My cammer Mustang won best of the master modelers at this show as well. Something that never happens here since this group is mostly aircraft and armor. They did have one of the largest automotive turn outs this year compared to the last several before. It was a good time with good friends and fellow enthusiasts...I am excited to see how it does at the next bunch of shows over the course of the year!!
Once again, thank you all for following along and your kind comments...
Hmm...What to build next?

[deafpanzer]

Exactly!!! That's the MAIN reason why I love going to those model shows... just to hang out with the guys. And of course to raid the vendor tables too! I am so glad you made that guy's day too.
