When you come up with a tray, I have the two supports for the the trap door latch and mid support.  The fiberglass version may not need, but the mid support makes it even stronger.  My supports are true to the original in their material and construction.

Take care

Cory

P.S. Your messages are full.

The fiberglass panel needs no reinforcements. The wood slats are for the plastic one.
Wondering what sort of modification is needed if I go with a 65 tray as it pertains to the trap door.  Maybe a 66 tray might be the better way to go?

No, actually it is not a Nice car.

"Nice is the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast and second-largest city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region after Marseille."

I think the car has always been US based.

Thanks for posting the video Silverton.  Some of the video looks to be at Road America.  It has that vibe although it could also be Lime Rock Park...

Quote from: 98SVT - was 06GT on November 27, 2024, 03:01:57 PMCame across this AC Ace in a 1954 Brock Yates book on sports cars.
It was snapped at the Santa Ana drag strip which was started in 1950 on the Orange County airport. It was the first US dragstrip and closed in 1959.
The book may also hold a clue as to why CS called them "sport cars".


Maybe that was the vernacular in that timeframe and went on to evolve into adding an "s" to Sport.  And by the 60s Shelby became more entrenched and ingrained in his ways due to age and rejected the then style of calling them "Sports Cars" instead of the way it was back in the 50s.  Just a theory.  I would need to hunt down voluminous footage of racer interviews to find out what they called them back in the 50s.

Too bad you didn't have land mines 20 feet out around the perimeter with the adequate warnings of course.

Sorry to see this.  Canvass the neighbors to see if any ring cameras might have caught a visual on the offender.

RIP to Van.  He had indicated to me he had recently sold his Ford GT.  May he be driving at speed in the next realm that awaits.

Quote from: Rickmustang on November 14, 2024, 11:08:01 AMI have one of Wayne's old cars. He used to tear around the Tulsa meet in a KR vert. Fun times. He drove them like he stole them, and collected some of Ford's best hi-performance offerings. Wonder what he's driving upstairs?
From everything we know of those who survived an NDE and described what they saw, you can be fairly confident that he is.

I would be remise if I didn't ask if 5R002 drove the rally with its headlights taped up.  There was some minimal controversy about my dad's car (well now my car) having taped headlights and possible violation of state statutes and local ordinances.  I passed by a cop today with my taped headlights on and the cop showed zero interest in pursuing me.  It would have been a good stop too. Couldn't be bothered.  Gonna keep the tape on.

Nice to see a pic of Gas Ronda's Car.  And yours too of course.
