Hi all,
With chassis #875 shipping in a couple of weeks, I thought I'd extend FREE shipping to the USA (Massachusetts) on TSC parts, to those interested.
Whatever extra will fit in the crate comes here free, less the cost to ship to your US address.
If you are interested act very soon!
Cheers,
Scott | |

| Re: Tornado TS40 #875
875 arrived today!
I'm stunned.
Proud to say it folks, the TSC GT40 Deluxe Component Package, is the "Best Kit".
BAR NONE.
EVERY SINGLE PART to build a GT40 replica is here, in my shop.
No hunting for this part or that part, or gee guy's where can I buy this?
Or, oh that is not included.
Or my favorite ... How do I install this?
It is simply amazing!
The bodywork is flawless.
The welding is too.
All the hoses, clamps, screws, lexan, carpet, wiper blade and arm ball vents etc.
The list is practically endless.
It even has the CORRECT steering wheel boss.
I'm speechless.
Pictures to follow as the build starts to progress.
This Saturday.
Engine dyno runs on you tube to follow. | |

Scott,
I think all this good news are from the too long experience Andy has in gt40s matter.
Proceed with the build up, will love to see the pictures.
Benfatto amico!

Thanks guy's.
Here is the floor from start to finish.
Real simple.
It took me 4.5 hrs.
Alloy, rivets and sealant are in the kit.
More pics tomorrow.

Scott, nice bit of fabrication cutting the floor. I'm curious to know the thickness of the floor and did you cut it with tin/aviation snips or do you need special tools. One more thing, take that jersey OFF!  | |

No way will this shirt come off!
Giants rule....Patriots drool!
I'm sure that will get me in trouble 
Floor was cut easily with a simple jigsaw, armed with a 24 TPI Bi Metal blade.
