An invitation from Gotti to all R owners

[Bender]

I've talked with Leo when I was waiting for my 17. Hes a great guy who is super knowledgeable. Been following him for a while. Always good to see behind the scenes

Theres a pic with him standing next to an R without a spoiler, is that an option now for the R?

No. After they are built on the line, non standard parts like carbon fiber wheels & spoiler are installed at the mod shop

The Avalanche Grey car where he is standing behind it with a Ford license plate is mine. That car in that photo just rolled off the line and was awaiting its turn at the mod shop. The mod shop is where stripes, wing, and wheels are installed.

Yes, a lot of photos in his collection are insider shots of cars that are in various stages of production. He has a lot of interesting stuff. I hope you all enjoy them.

Actually the car gets the stripes at the mod shop and goes elsewhere for the wing, wheels and seat delete.

Here is Gotti with my R before it left to have those items installed.. note the stripes are already installed.

With respect to the Mod Shop that is not my understanding regarding the installation of the CF wing, CF wheels and rear seat delete being installed elsewhere in Flat Rock.

I had misread what was explained to me, Harry.

The stripes do go on at a different building and then it is signed off and sent to the mod center. Which is why you see the car with stripes and without its wheels and wing. It also doesn't have the seat delete yet.

Edit: for clarification.

Apparently they do the stripes both at the mod centre and at the plant off line. Which is where my car had them applied.

I was told it was workload dependant. If the mod shop is jammed up, then it goes off site. Big deal.

Rear seat delete ! Now that is the option I want to see on the Bullitt.

After you buy one, just pull it out? :shrug:

He is a great guy, thanks to Tomster and a couple other members on here for getting me in touch with him. He helped me track my car through production and gave me updates with progress of it. Thanks Gotti!

I am very impressed with his '93 Cobra R model chassis #71 which of course was the start for new generation R models and is low mileage and in outstanding condition.

His '93 R model is 1 of just 107 R's produced in 1993 and of course all of those cars in 1993 resemble in many ways the Base R models that we can order today as those cars did not have radios, speakers, AC, sound deadener, rear seats, etc. just like our Base R's of today.

Yes, a terrific young fellow/enthusiast and a great attribute to our hobby for sure!

Gotta love Gotti - especially his pic today. Line is back up and running and the team is back to building our cars!

I'd like to see that shot. A shame I don't do Instagram or other social media. Anyway, yes, Gotti is a fellow enthusiast who deeply cares about the build and quality. Hes the kind of guy who you can talk cars with all day and is a credit to Ford.

Yes. He's hiding out in witness protection over in Flat Rock working the GT350 line.
