The early Ford GT's were known as GT 40's. That's the name I know them by. If they were called anything else I am not aware of it.
Thanks.

Thanks. There is a front pair of spokes that cross over each other and a back set that cross over and that sets a pattern of four in line and it keeps repeating.

Really nice work,as usual. This takes me back when I was a kid. I remember going to Sears in the toy section. They sold scale model kits,and,I saw an IMC scale model kit of the Ford GT on the shelves. I also saw a model kit of the XB 70 Valkyrie supersonic bomber too,but,I can't remember who made it though.

Thanks again.
