No I don't have any photos I can upload, but I am working on it. The body is on, all except one door hinged and fitted. All the suspension bits are ready to put together. We just got the ZF unit from Precision Proformance...lots of other bits on the way like wheels from PS Eng and various other pieces, tires included. I was out to see the car in OH last week and the Safir guys are doing a great job. To see a complete GT40 emerge from what has been a group of parts for so long is thrilling. The quality of their machine work is first class.
The windshield got smashed in shipment. This is the second one that got broken in shipment (fortunately insured). I am not sure what we will do about that. If anyone knows of a custom windshield maker, especially in the area close to southern Ohio, I would like to know about it.
We are aiming for a test run of the car 9/30. If all goes well, you guys will hear the howls of joy just by opening the window, no matter where in the world you are.
