Phil, What are you using for axles? Are they going to be made to take bolt on wheels or pin drive knock off wheels? You can PM me at datonabill@msn.com if you like. Thanks! |

Phil, can I ask where you purchased the body pannels from. I am currently in the planning stages of a scratch build,and looking at all the avenues for a body, and any info on chassis design. I currently finished a cobra scratch build with mustang II front suspension. I am not a purist, so doner parts are definately an option.Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Steve; | |

Phil,
Where in New Jersey are you?I am located in the New Brunswick area.I am a fabrication nut and although I don't currently have a GT40,I race a few cars(Spec Miata) and am in the process of restoring an old IMSA Fiero(tube Chassis GTU car)repowered with an LS6/Porsche 930trans combo.I enjoy checking out the creativity of others in the construction of race/kit cars.

My uprights are my own design. I wanted the upright to fit into the wheels I am using, and provide as much stability as I could get.
They are 6061 alum, and use a ford bearing and hub.
My goal was to get my lower wishbone and transverse upper links as long as possible, while keeping with the 56" track width...everything works, and the units are strong and very light.
Here is a photo of the upright installed with just the hub mounted.
Cheers
Phil
