It's time to post your favorite pictures of your GTM. These cars are just too beautiful not to be shared among your peers! As has been stated so many times, there is just no such thing as a bad looking GTM. So let's see 'em everyone!
This picture was taken the first time that I ever saw a GTM. It has stuck with me ever since. Charlotte Autofair, April 2007. Factory Five's LS7 show car.
I fell in love with it.
Read about it.
Learned all I could about it.
And Bought one.
(Soon to be posted in this thread).

Some say, that I only know two facts about ducks, (both being wrong); and that if I could be bothered, I could solve the "da Vinci Code" in 47 seconds...
All I know is that I'm called "The Stig". GTM #0081

Originally Owned & Crafted by David Borden. Judd Shutt, of Hollister, CA is the lucky owner now.
Dave is certainly one of the people who helped to make the forum the family that it is. I can't count the number of times that
I needed help, and he was there to offer suggestions that made good sense. He's been around the block a few times with FFR
builds having built a couple of Roadsters and this beautiful GTM. Did I mention that he's an Autocross Champ?
Above all that, he's just a good person. I feel that I can call him a friend, so I do!
This car set the bar high (very early on) for the rest of us...
This car has been featured at SEMA multiple times over the past 3 or 4 years.

"Crafted" by Shane Vacek, and owned by Axel Nusing, this is a prime example of what a very well built GTM can be.
This is also the first GTM to make laps around the famed Nurburgring.

Alan Uzwiak's GTM has gone through a couple of itterations... Version 1.
Chester, CT.
And Here's the latest! What a beatiful car!
Not many people realize that Allan had an RCR GT-40 that was a freaking MASTERPIECE! He's currently building an SLC
to go along with his GTM. I absolutely can't wait to see that.

Jeff Collins and the guys at Whitby Motorcars, Greensboro, NC, built this one for lucky customer Kevin Gangi, in California. It has been
one of my favorites for some time. I've always loved dark blue paint on a sleek body. My car will look very similar to this,
but a couple of shades darker.

Gary Cheney built this SEMA "Best of Show" Award winning GTM.

Built by Shane Vacek, and Owned by David Curtis.
The combination of the paint color & custom wing that Shane developed, make this car really stand out.

Here's one that Keith Bentzle may have been too modest to post... His car was featured by "Two Guys Garage" to show the install process of the new ISIS wiring control system. They laid on plenty of praise as to what a nice car they were working on. This episode also seemed to be the precursor to their 33 Hot Rod build. Awesome job Keith! Beautiful Car!

Henry Renaud was one of the first to complete his build. Where most people were going with dark colors,
Henry went in the opposite direction. His car was featured in multiple magazine articles and covers.
His is another that went through two versions. Here's a look at the First.

A pleasant surprise at the Portland Roadster show last weekend In Portland Oregon
I hope these are a decent size as Photobucket has not been too cooperative this evening.
The car was right in the big middle of some of the finest hot rods and customs in the country including one that competed for Worlds most beautiful roadster at the GNRS a month ago. And it held it's own with the best of them, not only in appearance but in the positive attention it received.
I have been following the GTMs since I saw the first pre production photos and joined the forum to find out more about the ins and outs of building one.
Jeff Hilb, of the Chicago area, built this very nice Twin Turbo powered GTM. Jeff took his time to create many hidden customizations in what I see as a very sweet "sleeper".
As we all know, we get by with a little help from our friends... So it must be very cool to have Shane Vacek in your corner to help finish it out to his usual Ubber Pro standards!
Great car Jeff! I can't wait to see it on the road soon!

If you're ever in Mayberry, NC (Mt. Airy), you may just see Ralph Martin's GTM parked outside the "Blue Bird Diner", or "Floyd's Barber Shop". Say hey to Aunt Bee for me!

Rev, I would like to say that your GTM looks absolutely amazing! Between the other cars posted in this thread and then seeing your's as the last on here, it was just the icing to the cake for my decision of a GTM over the Type 65 (or waiting for the 818). Awesome job, very well done. Love the interior by the way. About how long did that take to complete (if you don't mind me asking)?
It took all up, about 2 1/2 years to complete. Would have been quicker had i bought a donor car instead of a pallet full of Corvette C5 parts. Turned out that a lot was missing from that pallet and so i had to order the missing stuff and that took a lot of time. I'm located in Poland so i had to ship the parts from the US. With the interior, i was trying to go for as much as possible (and as much as my back pocket would allow) a production car interior quality. Worked out pretty good!

Finally had a few minutes to post the finished pictures of GTM #333. I completed the build around the end of May and went through all the NYS inspections in June. I finally got the plates on June 15th. Thanks to the great people on this forum. A special thanks to Kempo, Mikespms, Joe Mush, JLnike, and Rum Runner. Without everyones help I would still be in the garage and not out on the road enjoying my hard work.

Lance’s GTM is in my top five list of all time favorites, and one of the builds that helped me fall for this car.
I have to agree. If I could own ANY GTM for the street, this would probably be my #1 choice. Absolutely beautiful GTM.
BTW- Thanks Stig for putting this thread together. I am trying to work through some design issues on my GTM-R body modifications, and this thread, with all the different angles of the car, helps a ton...and who doesn't like looking at nice quality pics of GTM!?!

I agree. It's nice to see what others have done. I have hundreds of pictures of these cars that I've collected over the last 2 or 3 years, so I thought it would be nice to put them in one place so everyone could see the level of craftsmanship that exists in these forum pages. As long as no one objects, I'll keep posting a few each day until I run out. Then it'll be up to the GTM guys to post them as they finish their cars. But this crowd seems much more shy about it than the Roadster and Coupe guys...

This GTM was built in Italy. I don't know the name of the builder/owner. I ran across the pictures
somewhere along the line. You don't see many White GTM's, but wow! This one looks really cool!

Cuzz!!!! Ken Fairchild & Chris Corbett of New Bern, NC (God's Country) built this really nice GTM. They were among the first to incorporate window frames into the door to help seal the windows to the body.
