| Model: |
2001 Ford GT-40
#139 |
| Description: |
I admit it...I've had
a hard-on for this car since I was about eight. Wanting a GT-40 kit-car
for a ride of my own was one of my main inspirations for Tampo modding.
But this was a toughie. I was considerably more pleased with the 2002 40
Somethin' (a GT-40-inspired Hot Wheels original) than with this one. White
with blue helmet stripes, Matchbox-style, beats either of these by a mile.
This isn't a terribly good "stripper"; there are so many sharp
details that the result is likely to come out looking something like a 2002
Spectraflame II series car with small areas of bare metal showing through
from over-rubbing. I love this color...hate the results. |
| Level
of difficulty: |
Intermediate to Expert.
Requires masking on both edges of the roof to prevent windshield damage,
and the sharp grooves around the doors take a lot of patience...more than
I have. |
| Options:
|
Strip racing stripes;
leave the four flashing stripes on the quarter panel for a unique custom
look. |
| Watch
for: |
EVERYTHING!!! |
