2006 Ford GTX1 again.......

[Richie Carbone]

I worked on this car last November. Since then the owner had some paint work done and to say the least the customizing shop destroyed the finish on this rare 1 of 35 built GTX1.

The lower graphics were painted on but for some reason they decided to take a wool pad to the rest of the car.

The owner also decided to have all lenses tinted including the headlights.

The car was to be displayed at Down Town Disney for the Car Masters Show.

The car was shipped to me from Tampa since the show was local to me.

I retrieved the car from the transport lot on a Monday night and had to have it done by Saturday morning.

All said and done a total of 80 hours were spent restoring this beauty to a proper state.

Coming off the truck.

[James K]

Two sexy cars. Great work on the GTX1!!!!!

[Y2KSVT]

Awesome job! I assume you didn't have to do much correction work around those signatures? "Ehh, sorry, I accidentally buffed Roger Penske off the list." :laughing:

Mark

[Rei86]

Is that a Fiat 500 in front of the white GT?

[LuxuryMobile]

Great work Richie. Pretty rare cars. Is that Downtown Disney?

Sent you a PM about the owner.

[Flash Gordon]

Stunning work Bing :props:

[Richie Carbone]

Thanks for the comments.

[A.P.A.D.]

awesome car(s)! nice work! 80 hours?! wow!

[BobbyG]

I am drooling all over the place.

The Ford GT40 has been my favorite car since I saw them in 1966. Their design and style is legendary and Ford was able to raise from those ashes the new Ford GT...:props:

Gorgeous work!! :dblthumb2:

[EsCrasston]

Beautiful work! It amazes me that some body shops have the stones to work a car over like that. Especially something of that caliber.
