Well it might be a bit premature as only the chassis and about 50% of the fiberglass is complete. Don't expect to have the kit in my garage until July (I placed my order in mid February and told him no hurry...new engine and all) but I wanted to put a place holder here in case anyone else was interested in going with a Coyote/Roadrunner engine and wanted to ask questions. My chassis has been altered for this and Darren is working on finalizing the adapter along with starter for the Audi 01E I plan to use with it. MUCH cheaper and stronger than going the Renault route.
The car itself is a bit different besides the engine in that it is the Gulf style and will have a front air dam more closely resembling that of the new Ford GT (I believe it to be both more athletically pleasing and aerodynamically superior) with a 1" lowered seating area (I am 6'2", 230). Everything else will be "stock" GT40 looking on the exterior although I am using Recaro style seats instead of the original look.
I do have some partial chassis photos and such but will probably hold off posting until the powder coat goes on (should be the next batch of photos I get from Darren).
FWIW, so far I have been very pleased with Darren and his willingness to answer questions and make alterations without charging me like crazy. I've literally been looking to build one of these for 20 years researching this, checking into that, etc. The experience has been a good one to date although I will admit to laying in bed wondering how I am going to do this and that! LOL
