OK, I am now seeing many "scratch" builders who, it appears, are building their GT 40s from the ground up. Looks to me that if you have the proper welding skills, jigs, etc..., that this might be the cheapest way to go (initially). I'd love to be able to buy a CAV, Tornado, RCR kit, but due to the profession I chose, cannot afford to spend that much money at one time, however; I could spread my cost out over time. Well, my question is: Where can I get plans or a scratch build kit, etc... for bulding a GT 40 from the ground up? I'm talking about welding the chassis myself, then purchasing the other components as funds would allow. Currently, I own a Lotus Turbo Esprit (I'm a big fan of longitudally mounted mid-engine cars - Boxer Berlinettas, Esprits, Countachs', T-70s, and the best of 'em all, the GT 40). In fact, I bought the Lotus to hold me over 'til I could afford a GT 40 kit. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to start a build as soon as I could and would even sell the Lotus to get the funds to get started.
Thanks
