Ian Thanks. I would of liked to have used the fishnet stockings but last time my wife caught me wearing them [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
she made me throw them out, along with the garter belt and stilleto heels [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Pete - re the pic of the "eager staff" :
- the one on the left just looks relieved that it runs & might get the hell out of his workshop soon !
- next guy looks stoked !
- next guy is wondering why he has funny shaped legs when standing behind a running GT40 !!
- next guy looks totally bemused by the other 3 !
Almost there - yee-haaah !!
Pete, are you running an Autronic ECU - the PC screen look familiar ?
Kind Regards,
Peter D. | |

I can beat Pete to it, yeah it runs an Autronic SM2 ECU. Damn good choice.
I had the pleasure of seeing this beast in the flesh again on Saturday...pictures really do not do it justice. It really gives me something to aspire to. | |

Let there be light. Head lamps took a long time to source,
but better late than never [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] | |

Speaking of "source" I need to find a vacuum boost system,
with an in-line arrangement to suit a duel brake system.
Any ideas guys? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] | |

Pete, congrats the car looks great, in the pic where it's being tuned i can see a piece of door seal rubber missing. Is this to give some relief to the door to get a better gap?

Pete,
Maybe you can be of some help to me. I am fabing new mounts for my 351w/G50 transformation (from 302/Renault).
Do you happen to have, in your library of build pics, any shots showing your axles angles? One from top view showing the angle fore and aft as well as from behind showing vertical axle angle. | |

Tim,
This shot may or may not help, as
it was taken from behind the car.

Another, from the side.
If these aren't sufficient, let me know.
I have more, it's just a matter of digging them up.

to get the angles for you.

Tim,
A closer shot. If I can get my digital camera to work,
I'll shoot some more shots, which should give you a better
look at the angle(s) of the axle shafts.
