Well, I showed pics of my work in progress to some alleged car people
and one guy asked if my GT6 was a Shelby GT 500. One of the others replied
"No, it's a GT 350, the 500 had an open mouth grill. I tried to say no, but
they were all chatting about "Gone in 60 seconds" so I dropped it. Opened
my eyes and I certainly had a whole new view of THAT group. I'll be taking
their advice with a little more skepticism.
