No, there's only room for 1 car.

For those of you who love the Ford GT40 Mustang as I do you might like to know they have semi-assembled/painted pictures up now near the bottom of this massive photo page

Looking good. I usually like simple single tone paint jobs and I usually like silver as well, but after admiring their work I actually hope they put a rocker stripe or some accenting on it - definitely reserving final judgement as the bumper is not even mounted we'll wait until its done. Well, okay, my final judgement is pretty likely to be "TOTALLY AWESOME" regardless. REally looking forward to seeing the interior as well which hasn't been shown anywhere near finished state yet.

BTW, I might be the only person on this thread to care, but I cut one of my extra doors in half ('67 Mustang) and widened it 2" and mounted it to the normal hinges, and it didn't seem to have any problem with interference between the front edge and the trailing edge of the fender when being opened, so I guess the guy who posted an answer for me is right, it doesn't make too much of a difference.

Hey Preston, thanks for posting. I'm sure in person, that things is going to be mind blowing. Sometime is hard to capture the essence of the car in pictures.

Good example ids G-Force Cuda. When I see it in pictures, it almost looks to me like an early 70's funny car the way the body rakes. But when I see it in person, all I can saw is, WOW! That thing is beautiful.

Anyways, can't wait to see it in person.

Come to think of it, I could have told you that. Dang :lol: I added an inch and some change to the front of my '65 Mustang's doors, and didn't have to move the hinges. I will say, it does get trickier the more exaggerated a body line is as it runs across the door. If the angles are sharp, things might want to hit, or if add so much metal that it would hit the inner structure of the fender, then you would run into problems.

Now, back to the GT40 Mustang! I even dig the wheels. I think they capture "contemporary-retro" look, i.e. when I see them I don't just think of the original design blown up to 18."

SWEET! Just needs a chin spoiler and rear window louvers to finish it off.

Every once in a while, I get this dumb idea in my head that I'm getting older and outgrowing this stuff - then I stumble into a thread like this, like a crackhead wandering into a crack house, and realize that once an addict, always an addict. :willy: :_paranoid :bow: :cheers:

Also didn't help that Hotel California comes on (earphones on lost in my own world, in my office) just as I was getting to the build pics of that Mustang). :yes: :thumbsup:
