That looks great, Paul.

Interesting, Steve. Very interesting.

Thank you all for all of the help. It's been very insightful. Hopefully I'll be able to clear up the bench of some projects & get this one started.

Time will tell, I guess.

Thank you for the information, Bill. I will have to take a look at that. Tim, I did look at Hobby-world.com for the Zero paint, but it didn't look like it came in spray cans, just bottles.

John, Those Zero Paints look nice, but not having an airbrush does present a problem.

Unfortunately, I do not have an airbrush; so it's rattle can or nothing. Since it's a 2006 GT and not a 1966 GT40 I guess I can get close.

Thanks for the help, guys. I appreciate it. Yes, Steve, that's the look I'm going for.

So I purchased the Polar Lights 2006 Ford GT on a whim today, and I would like to do it in the Gulf colors that are shown on the box. Why? Well, apparently I need more "painting stress" in my life. Anyway, the instructions say to paint the car "light blue". Is there a specific light blue to use, or will just about any light blue work? The kit is actually molded in Baby Blue plastic. Thanks for the help.

Looking really nice. Kind of a shame to hide that beautiful engine under the hood.

Jacobus, Thanks for the information on the trailer nose; but since I don't have FaceBook, I guess I'll have to find another source.

It might not be sophisticated, but it works!

Good information, Pat. What year is that brochure from, do you know?

Nicely done. With that long frame & the step tanks, you could almost put a flat-deck drom on there.

Most Crackerboxes had either the Detroit Diesel 6-71 or the 6V71. Not sure about the 8V71, but I suppose it's possible on later models. Where did you get the 1950's style trailer nose, and what's that other cab in the background?
