Hi Charley. And Thanks to Phil and you, a very interesting photo  its strange looking at the blue o/s side skirt as i finished of all the fiberglass repairs to day and that was the last panel i finished so all is virtually done now i am going to clean up the chassis tomorrow and remove all the rest of the rivets etc and then see if radical will put it in the jig to rebuild the front of the chassis and then its build time and parts shopping. i can see from the photo that it did have a ecoboost engine  RCN eng no ? please send or post more photos if available. 

 

Many Many thanks Paul.

Hi Charley theres a lot of brain power working away there . I have cleaned the chassis today of all the old glue and crud and you can tell the engine has been in and out a few times the chassis is in good condition and i will have to wait for Radical to re open and see if the have a window to revamp the front of the chassis and how many parts they have in stock it would be nice for me to view a car in the raw without the panels as most of the parts i could make myself i will take a few photos and post them in a while of all the panels etc.

 

Thanks Paul.

Hi Paul (@levo), Sorry it took so long to get approval to print this, but your car is very special in that parts of it went on to create the prototype Ford GT that was displayed around the world.  You can read about it in the latest version of "Ask Phil"

That is amazing and a great qudos to radical that there vehicle went in to building the Ford GT (well done Radical)

@levo Paul, would you have any interest in parting with this chassis? I recently purchased a 2016 Ecoboost Spyder, which I'd like to convert into a coupe. I had reached out to the original seller a few days ago, and was trying to have him pass a message along. I'd pay a substantial premium over your purchase price. If not, glad to see you making progress on putting it back together.
