from the posts that I read about the GTM development that they did purchase a GT40 to use as an initial study and starting point.
They are not following the design though. The frame will have a solid tube running thru the center area as its main support.
The gas tanks will not be in the outside along the doors either. I have talked with a couple of the engineers on the phone about it. They are open and will freely share the information to whoever is interested in talking by phone. Give them a call if interested. 508 291-3443. Ask for Jim in engineering. I think someone can come up with a GT40 body to work with this frame. The existing bodys in the Uk will not work though. The car will be longer then the GT40. Maybe the doors can be streched and center section in the roof lengthened and curved slightly higher leaning toward the ultima's roof shape alittle.
