The Ford J car came after the GT40 Mk I and Mk II. It was the "forerunner" to the GT40 Mk IV. The J had a bad reputation. Not a popular car with those who drove it. If I remember correctly, mainly bad aerodynamics. Ken Miles was killed testing one. Research and testing then switched more to the Mk IV at that point.

Pulling this one back up for Superpeterbilt/Terry. Here are 5 pages of great info.

Sad to hear it's molded in black. Even though that is the color I plan on painting it.

It's the Mod Rod variation that excites me. I don't think this has really been available since the mid-1970's.

If you doing a little searching in this kit review section, there is a very good thread covering just about every Ford GT40 and Ford GT model kit ever made. This is still one of my all time favorite cars. But, with the great thread already here, why start a new one?

I need an Oreo!

I love the box art above. Very, very cool! But, I need to bring this up again. Writing in script form here is very hard to read using certain devices to view it. I do most my viewing of things here on my IPad. For some reason script is hard to read on an IPad. Others have indicated they have found the same problem. Script looks pretty. But, most time I skip over reading posts with it because it's such a pain. I have no problems see any other forms of writing here. So if you want to share your ideas with me and others, please avoid using script.

?????

Please tell it's not true. I've been avoiding the news so far today. I guess with good reason. Unbelievable.

Take me with you. I can replace the kid or the dog.

Looking forward to the AMT kit more than the Revell kits. Though I've already have both. One each of Revell's '29 roadster and '30 coupe. But, I love the old AMT stuff. And can't wait to get my hands on their Model A kit.

Have one on order. Looking forward to it, despite being a rehash of the same old '25 T kit. The cardboard station and cutouts make it worth while to me. What can I say? I love the Stooges. And I've never built this kit as a roadster pickup before, so it's worth adding to my collection.

I love old industrial films like the above, ever if I don't understand the language. Fun film to see. Thanks Tulio for posting it.

I'm afraid I do not understand Spanish or Portuguese. So does he like the car or not?

I love stupid conspiracy theories for some reason. I don't beleive them. But, I find them interesting and fun. And I do worry about people who do take them seriously. You'd be surprised how many kids I work with who were worried about the end of the world coming in 2012. I reassure them that these rumors pop up on a regular basis. And I've lived though several of them. Here is my take on the Mayan calendar ending in 2012. They ran out of pin up models. They kept on sacrificing all the young girls in their culture until it was too late. It's as simple as that.

Just watched the movie the Seven Samurai for the first time last night. I'm pleased to say, it was every bit as good as I heard it was. I can see why it's considered a classic. Is better than it's later copy, the Magnificent Seven? Tough to say. Both are great movies. And if you've never seen either movie, please do see them. The length of Seven Samurai is very long. Yet it went by quickly. And you do have to read subtitles, unless you understand Japanese. But, it is well worth it. A great movie.

Yea, I guess your right about that. But, I thought it was humorous under the circumstance.

Other than deer pooping, some very beautiful pictures. The deer pooping wasn't nessarily pretty. But, interesting none the less. And great expression on his face when he's noticed you were watching him.

Didn't you guys know that Mona Lisa and George Washington are one in same. Because of the alien DNA that mutated her/him from eating Oreo cookies. By the way, Leonardo da Vinci invented Oreo cookies. That's why in his painting of the Last Supper you see everybody there eating Oreos. And if you look closely at the painting, you'll also see one of the disciplines is wearing Washington's wooden false teeth. That were given to him (or her?) by bigfoot! This is proof that the earth is flat and Nazis are running secret UFO bases on the dark side of the moon. Who can argue with those facts?

I respect what everybody has been saying here. Despite not wanting to use a gun for protection, I'm sure if the chips are down I would do what needs to be to protect my loved ones and family. I just hope the chips never come down that way. I am greatfull for the second amendment. And those great police officers, and military men and women who protect us with their lives everyday. I'm thankful. I just hope that things do not get bad enough that I do feel the need to arm myself. There are times when I question it. But somehow, maybe stupidly, I keep thinking that those with the job of protecting me, will continue to do so. God bless them all.

Just ordered AMT's newest release of the kit, two days ago. So, I had to see if anyone else has build one here. And a nice one it is! I'm impressed, and hope mine turns out as nice.

Ah,what's the saying? "Those who forget history, are bound to repeat it." I am a Christian. But, I'm also aware that there have been a lot of people killed in the past in the name of Christianity. What Chirst thought us, and what people have done in his name are two different things. There is another old saying. "When you point a finger at somebody, look at how many fingers are pointing back at you."

I don't know why, and recently I've thought about it, but I can not buy a gun for protection. I like shooting. And I'm okay with with others owning guns for protection if they feel they need for them. But, somehow I hope and pray at I will never be put in a position that I need to use a weapon in violence against another human being. You may think me foolish and naive. And maybe I am. But I'm sorry, I just can not do it at this point.

I'm sad, tired, and scared by all the violence going on what seems to be everywhere lately. Nice, France last night. Over 80 people! Five police officers in Texas last week. Police killing people? Terrorism. Wars. What's wrong with people? What can one person like me do? Other than not be violent and hateful in return. That and keep faith in God's will. I beleive that God does not approve of this violence done in his name, to his creations. STOP this craziness please. Killing each other indiscriminately. It's not changing anything in positive way.

Nice gift from your brother. Others really need to click on the above link and see what this is really all about. The one photo above does not convey the story well at all. You need to see the contents of the box too. Very cool.
