Ford GT Restoration: Lynx's Expertise In Reviving A Classic

The Challenges of Ford GT Restoration

Restoring a Ford GT is far from a simple task; it presents a unique set of challenges that require specialized knowledge and resources.

Rarity and Specialized Parts

Sourcing parts for a Ford GT restoration presents a significant hurdle. Limited production runs mean original parts are incredibly scarce. This scarcity extends to specialized tools needed for the job.

Limited production runs: Finding original components is a significant challenge.
Specialized tools needed: Many tools and techniques are unique to the Ford GT.
Sourcing NOS (New Old Stock) parts: Locating and acquiring NOS parts requires extensive networking and often, significant financial investment.
Reliance on skilled fabricators for custom parts: When original parts are unavailable, skilled fabricators must create precise replicas, demanding both artistry and engineering expertise.

Lynx leverages an extensive global network of contacts and suppliers to overcome these challenges, ensuring access to the highest quality parts, whether original or meticulously crafted reproductions. Our commitment to sourcing the best materials guarantees an authentic restoration that meets the highest standards.

Engine and Drivetrain Restoration

The heart of any Ford GT is its powerful engine and sophisticated drivetrain. Restoring this crucial aspect demands the utmost precision and attention to detail.

Engine rebuilds: Complete engine disassemblies, meticulous cleaning, and the replacement of worn or damaged components are essential.
Transmission overhaul: A thorough inspection and rebuild of the transmission ensure smooth shifting and optimal performance.
Differential servicing: The differential requires precise adjustments to maintain proper gear ratios and handling characteristics.
Meticulous cleaning and inspection: Every component undergoes thorough inspection and cleaning to identify any potential issues.

Lynx's experience encompasses a range of Ford GT engine variants, ensuring we can handle the nuances of each specific model. We are committed to maintaining original specifications, guaranteeing the restored vehicle performs as it did when it first left the factory.

Body and Paint Restoration

The Ford GT's aerodynamic body is a masterpiece of automotive design. Restoring its shape and original paint finish requires specialized expertise and advanced techniques.

Repairing fiberglass bodywork: The fiberglass body panels require careful repair to maintain their structural integrity and aerodynamic performance.
Dent removal: Even minor dents can compromise the car's aerodynamics, demanding precise repair techniques.
Rust repair (if applicable): While less common on Ford GTs, rust repair requires careful attention to detail.
Precise color matching: Replicating the original paint color is crucial to maintaining the car's authenticity.
Meticulous paint application: A flawless finish requires multiple layers of paint and clear coat, applied with precision and care.

Lynx utilizes advanced techniques and equipment to achieve a flawless finish, ensuring the restored Ford GT’s body is as stunning as it was on the day it was built. Our commitment to perfection extends to every aspect of the restoration, from the smallest detail to the overall aesthetic.
