On The Racetrack - Ford GT40
This is something I wanted to do since I've seen the first mods by Okihana, more than two years ago, but sometimes a project needs an extra impulse. Nils_O suggested to look into the F40 and silly me thought he meant the GT40.
There are a lot of other mods arounds, I took inspiration from Jacksparrow/Angeldust and Okihana, but didn't want to copy anybody's build.
I didn't change the wheelbase, but put a 7-stud side panel in the 6-stud gap, tilted the roof and lowered the rear by a plate. Looking at pictures from the real car, I could not find the curve from the front mudguard to the middle part to be so prominent as to recreate that in my mod, the straight line is more elegant in my eyes.
That Racetrack is painted on the street, a traffic-calmed corner that was blocked because of all the wild parking cars.
