WagDatto Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ford GT? Question mark? Quote Link to comment
Beau M Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah its a GT. I looked up "matte black gt gumball 3000", there are a few pics of it in San Fran. I think the rally was in May, I wonder whyhe hasn't taken all the stickers off yet. I especially dig the Punisher hood emblem. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I cant believe you had to ask phleb lol. I can't believe the obvious bondo on the passenger rear 1/4 either :( I can't believe he ran the gumball with the paint still looking like that :confused: Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 That better be a kit. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ford GT 40: Looks better with the Ford badges or just flat black. Not diggin' the 'stickers' all over it. No way I'd give free advertising on my beautiful ride... probably a company car. Quote Link to comment
Beau M Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Here's some pics that I got from google images. The paint looked worse in person. It's still cool, but I am no longer painting my Z flat black. Quote Link to comment

I'd LOVE to work for the company that uses and runs a gt40 in the most famous illegal cross country rally ever lol. the decals funded his trip. Edited July 15, 2009 by 72240z Quote Link to comment
Beau M Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 satin, matte, non-shiny, dull, whatever. I think it looks very cool on exotic cars, but I know this one has seen some miles, and frankly it looked like it. I don't want to knock it, its a bad ass ride, but I don't think its for me anymore.

72240z Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's not w/e though they are completely different. I'm sure it shows it thats why I commented, 3k miles at a clip with no clear coat, not going to end well. To each their own I'm not knocking that at all. Quote Link to comment

I was sure that a sane persone would not put all those stickers on a ford GT. :D Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 thats sweet. the paint is hideous but its a cool car nonetheless. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 cool car. too bad the guy didn't have enough money for a decent paint job. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 cool car but they should have went with satin black over flat... Least what I think. Quote Link to comment
blue72 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just to be clear, that is a Ford GT. The Ford GT40 is the one it was styled after, the one from the mid 60's. Nasty bondo and respray too. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 cool car but they should have went with satin black over flat... Least what I think. Once again it's not flat. Quote Link to comment
marioburke Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 If you guys look close its not bondo on the 1/4 panel. Someone removed a fat Famous sticker and that is the left over residue. You can see the 'F' Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Haha! Yeah I see it! People were putting him down for a bad bondo job. SHAME! I like it... I don't care, I like it. BTW! In the third pic you can see the racing stripes stick up from the "paint". Could this "paint" just be a big ass sticker? Or did they really paint over the sticker racing stripes...

72240z Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) I still say bondo, the entire top doesn't even come close to matching up and the line continues into the gap. Idk though after reading the post after mine I guess it could be. Maybe they just speared the hell out of the residue. Edited July 16, 2009 by 72240z Quote Link to comment
Beau M Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 You can see the Famous logo peeking out in the other pics I posted. Good eye. I should have taken a closer look, but if that is a vinyl wrap, they did a damn good job. Quote Link to comment
71ka510 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 i dig the color...and the .... and you can spary a flat clear by the way... we use it at my work .. anything below a 20 sheen is flat, 20-59sh is satin, 60-79sh is semi-gloss,80+ is gloss/high gloss.... and here is a one stage that most people use for this color..http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/hrf201.aspx and SEM makes the "flat" paint as well and the gumball isnt illegal ....... its how you drive that makes it illegal, the US gumball had closed off streets..... my "tarded" friend tried to get invite, not realizing you have to have a rare or exotic car, be invited by the association and be able to pay the $250,000+ entry fee...... he was sad that he didnt get to enter his junky audi tt ///// :lol: Quote Link to comment
Comfort Eagle Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 That is clearly residue from a sticker as noted. Also I doubt it would be bondo anyway,as I believe that part of the car is urethane,or fiberglass,and not steel. Not 100% sure,but I have seen one or two of these cars in person,and I doubt it is steel there. Quote Link to comment
