    Completed recently, this vehicle is very low milelage open MSO car which had never been titled before my client purchased it a few months back. Although not in a crusty state the finish had factory sand scratches, some RIDS and needed refinement and cleaning to ready the vehicle for local show(s).

    As mentioned, the finish was not terrible but not defect free either. RIDS on the front areas.

    I had better performance with Menzerna FG-500 on this Ford GT, sand scratches removed.

    Corrected a fine line of sand scratches in the cove of the door, finish smooth & clear.

    Left over compound residue under the Clamshell vents, QD/distilled water and time required to remove the residue.

    Neat mod the owner had installed was a Butterfly Wing door conversion which made getting in and out of this vehicle easier than past Ford GT's I have worked on.

    I had cleaned the engine bay a couple of months ago, so only light wipedown needed.

    Corrected light hard water etch in the cowl area.

    Having the clamshell open makes cleaning a breeze on this vehicle.

    The color makes the car a true beauty. Ive seen the blue ones but think they are ugly. Great work!

    Simply beautiful, both your work and the automobile. If I were to name one automobile that represents hard core car Americana the Ford GT would be it. Thanks for posting this thread Bob. I truly enjoyed it.

    Certified Tightness! Good that the owner put the doors to open up vs. swinging wide open. ;)

    One of my top 5 favorite cars, and such a sexy color.

    Also, your ability to catch everything is insane. Those sand scratches are difficult to see for sure.
