ford gpa g504

Thanks Rick

Too bad it does not have the back end of a Ford GP to make it the most appealing restoration project "down under".

Thanks a gain for those great pics

Mithril

Thanks a lot for those pictures never seen before. Sorry for the delayed response. I will call you today for an update on things.

Cheers

Jerome

I might be interested, depending on price. Thanks for checking

Jerome

Mithril, great idea about the repro

Karl, I would go for one. I would also love the repro (or original) of rear end bracket for the pole (I have the front bracket).

Cheers

Jerome

nicely done Peter. Could we have pictures of the brackets that hold the bows and some measurements.

Thanks in advance

Dear Peter

Thanks for the response. I guess, the more I learn about restoring GPAs the harder it looks ...

Dear Peter

Have you considered making a few extra panels? I will soon go through the same restoration process with my hull, and I know I will need those parts. I am probably not the only one as this is the weak part in the GPA.

Bonjour Dominique

Great pictures, thanks a lot. By the way, where did you find that amazing sailing spot?

If you plan a trip to Paris, do not forget to call me; I will take you on a tour of our club. This invitation is obviously extended to all board members.

Cheers

David This could also be a repro side panel. I am almost certain the early side panels had the horizontal grove; the late side panel model had, in addition, a hull to panel reenforcing bracket. I believe the flat side panels were only on prototype GPAs. Mithril is in vacation at the moment, he will ...

Dear Peter,

Still here but busy at work. I would be interested in a firewall pad repro, depending on price. Put me on the list as "tentative".

BTW I too cannot see half of the second picture

Dear Cees

Dear friends I am planning to be in Normandy on June 3, 4, and 5. Is anyone coming too, it would be my pleasure to see you there? I won't take my GPA for I am driving there with my 6 year old son, and he is a bit young to endure the adventures of riding a 60 year old amphibious vehicle on such a lon...

My Dear Mithril,

You are just the ultimate collector; you get into the most authentic detail.

I would not be surprised if I learned on day that you have got a NOS stock of gas to drive your GPA :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Jerome

Great job Bob, she is superb.
Please post more pictures

Cheers

Jerome

Dear Bob,

Great idea, I am planning to do the same. I took my GPA into the Seine river (Paris) last week and my bilge pump did not work. I used a hand operated pump to take the result of a minor leak out. I wish I would have had an electrical pump like yours.

Thks
