This past couple of weeks I have not
been able to create more dust in my workshop simply because I am waiting
for supplies to be delivered for the velomobile project that I've
posted about previously. So with that not happening at the moment I
spent some of my free time in other interests such as going to Oshkosh
Wisconsin to see the Experimental Aircraft Association convention. I
have been to this convention at least a half dozen times over the years
and it is always an interesting thing to check out. Other than the air
show itself and all the planes that come and go I came across the Ford
Motor Company pavilion. To my surprise parked outside were three Ford
GT cars in all their splendor. At this point a B52 could have dropped a
bomb on the field and I could have cared less. This was my dream car.
With saliva drooling down the corner of my mouth I got to see my
fantasy car up close an personal. Needless to say I just had to shoot
some photos of my favorite one of the group.
Of the three Ford GT's that were there
this car was calling me. I was able to get this photo and a few more
views that day at Oshkosh without a crowd of people standing in front of
it. The other two GT's were just as nice but in blue racing colors and
one in white. My rule of thumb when it comes to sportscars is the only
color that counts is red.
So after having spent some time with
my dream car and getting a good sunburn from the day in Oshkosh I
trudged back to my car and headed back home to my quiet little town and
the workshop once again. I found out that I had walked nine and a half
miles through the day and I was ready to put my feet up to call it a
day.
My mind kept going back to my dream car. I knew I just had to create a new drawing of it. This is what I came up with.
