vamach1 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 While we are talking Daytona Coupes here are a few. The one Peter is standing next to is a McClusky built coupe owned by a friend. And just for fun here is Shelby next to a Cobra at Lime Rock CT in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absmiami Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Merry new year Mecum auctions Kissimmee is starting the new year off with some cool vintage racers - a Gurney Indy Eagle with a great history - a Shelby King Cobra Monaco in guardsman blue - and a Ford GT40 - Mark IV - chassis J10 - which has an interesting history - J10 did not compete at Sebring or Lemans - but had an active racing career as an open top car in Can Am - its restoration is to LeMans specs - i saw J10 years ago at a GT40 reunion at Daytona - it’s a great looking car… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvette Grand Sport #4 Okay you asked for it. Your post made me wonder when I last did an update as it seemed like a long time ago. It actually was over a month ago but only one page back. Because the deadline is so far off I guess no one is feeling much urgency. Since that last post I have completed two other models and started two more. I have never been able to find the full story on why Hall & Penske decided it was better to tape over the hood louvers when they were installed to exhaust under hood heat and air pressure which caused the front to lift but I have always preferred the look. Rather than install the complex photo-etched louvers I decided to close the openings from below and then fair them in. Once painted I will cover the areas with white tape. The Hall/Penske did such a good job taping over the louvers that in most photos the taping is impossible to detect.
