Speaking of doing weird stuff with tubing and Ford GT's. This is what Kirkham Motorsports does with tubing, copper and Ford GT parts. When they were ready to install the engine in the front it wouldn't fit. The used the rear/ mid engine concept of the Ford GT and put the engine/trans in the proper space. The body is made out of hand hammered copper and then at least 500 hours to polish it to the shine in the photos. They actually built the car for SEMA. technotard ----- Original Message ----- From: John Christensen<mailto:johncgg@xxxxxxxxx> To: ratpack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ratpack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 7:46 AM Subject: [ratpack] Re: Well, this is what I saw... I am right there with ya on the $$. Funny thing was, the guy was laughing and saying that he had about a half mile of tubing in the shop, and they were gonna have to build something with it and use the parts from the GT to power it. Too much $$ and obviously short on driving ability. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 10, 2010, at 8:42 AM, Ray Buck <rbuck@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rbuck@xxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Oh, man!

Here's a couple I shot with my Rebel XT. A little different angle. We passed the one that's in one piece on the track, and I watched it disappear in the rear view mirror.
