Hi, completely new to all this - but am looking to buld a GT40 from a kit - where is the best place to get started in terms of finding out about manufacturers, engines, g'boxes etc etc etc. And likewise, feedback on which are the best kits to buy etc etc.

All help is appreciated. Tks Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest your first port of call would be one of the meetings held around the country. You'll be able to chat to owners, hopefully see some cars and probably sit in them.
I'm sure if there are any owners within your area, you might be able to get an invite round for an in-depth chat.
Good luck

Simon

Thanks for your help so far..sure many more questions to come.

Out of interest..how many people here race their cars (and is there an appropiate series to race them in??)) Tks

Jeremy,

Also, become intimately familiar with the "Search" function here. There is a very high likelihood (approaching 100%) that any question you can come up with will have been discussed at some point.

Regards,
Lynn
