Welcome to GT40s David... Sounds like one really big project!
 
here is the chassis in the raw steel frame format, we will use this to design the mono around.
one we have the chassis tested in FEA, we will then make the buck to make the mold

Cool project. Have you considered a Ford GT? Probably less money and will retain it's value over time.
 
we have a mk1 KVA,GTD body and a chassis already. the car is based of the MK1 body.
never mess with something that works. and the gt40 body is one of the best.

we need to take photos of a MK1 car from the front, side, rear and from the top.
we will then link all the photos together and create a 3D image.

this will help Reubin to keep the drawings as accurate as possabel

here is a link to his site:
Racer X - Our team, our achievments
 
this is the side view.

these are all just ruff drawings for us to get the shape we are looking for.

All ahead full speed! Can't wait to see the finished product using the Gt40 styling ques. Looks very good, and closer to the original that all of us grew up liking. Better than the bulky Ford GT version and the later concept drawings that followed last year in failed promises. A little bigger for a better ride as a street car isn't a bad thing either......Good luck and keep us posted. It looks GREAT!!!!!!

Guys,

I don't know what you're on about but if you could clue me in that might be helpful.

Is this the same David Tucker from over on ClubCobra who seems to have a history in Australia of stiffing some people for cars/parts/bodies/chassis?

Thanks,
Ron
