Scratch built GT90

OK two years and $4000 dollors to get a clean right cad files
So I finely got my Cad files to Scale and checked the Wheel Base on the GT90 is all correct.
So i have sent the files to Detroit to get them Sliced so i can print them and make rib formers so now i have to buy a 42in printer and print 121 slices thats over 740 feet on paper Dam!
for people that have no idea what i talking about Ribs Formers are for making the car body.
Here is a pic of a car that started <this is not the gt90 >

i can show ya some screen shots if some one can tell me how to do it in Auto Cad easy i have 2000 and 2004

Re: Scratch built GT90

Very interesting info, and are you going to build a replica of the GT90?
What car body shape are you showing in the picture you posted?.

Re: Scratch built GT90

It's looks like a GT90 from a number of years ago (~'95 I think).

Great minds think alike, beautiful vehicle, I fell in love the first time I saw it.
Maybe we can save you some effort/time.
Take a look at the "GT90 from ground up" thread

No but some rain would be nice we need it here.

-Not a chance i have have way to much into it so far to
-back out.
Offer was genuine, was not sure how far you had progressed

-maybe join forces to get the glass done right
Possible, maybe not be practical due to inherent differences between projects, worth considering though.

Where you get your files at? or did you scan a model?
now that would be telling, I assume Ford did not exactly cough up the originals for you.....

-i might go to molds in the next month
the fun is about to begin

-Brammo Motorsports, LLC - Brammo V12
Very nice Not much info on transaxle and based on info so far, it would not be registerable here
BTW after you have broken the rear end loose with the first 400hp what are you going to do with the other 700+ :-P
(sorry couldn't resist)
-gt40 trans is 10,000 my cost... plus core 3,200
That would put the 2005GT donk at close to 30,000
and street legal here at this point.

Are you building for street or track?
