Building a GT40 in a virtual environment.

Good morning friends! My name is Boris.
My dream is to build a GT40.
I live in Russia, in our country is almost impossible to buy a kit to build the GT40, state bans on the import of components for assembly, because it requires costly certification. To bring yourself to a dream I started designing his GT40. I hope that I realize my dream and build a dream car!. At design time, I and my friend Viskov Andrey faced with questions. I hope you will help us with the answers to them.
A blog about building a post here. This is also a building, even if virtual.

We model our GT40 for quite some time, and this is the second model. So, as our skills grow, we completely redesigned the first project. Here are his posters.

I start to work on the frame. Studied a lot of information from the forum. The frame is tied to the size of my body.

You have quite the little project going there! :thumbsup:

I can't tell you about the seat measurements, Boris, but, I thought the link below might interest you. It's a "virtual work" too. On the left side of its "home page" you'll see three columns within which are FOUR sections labeled "wire", "clay", "mats", and "final render". Click on each for various views. :chug:

http://www.lendesign.com/FordGT40/wipgallery.html


(Edit: Please note that the passenger seat in the above renderings IS NOT accurate! It shows 6 rows of 'buttons' - just like the driver's seat. 'Real world' GT40 seats have 6 rows on the driver's side and FIVE on the passenger's. Just 'FYI'.) (The passenger seat is that much narrower, because, in a real world GT40, the 'center console' is actually offset toward the passenger seat by that amount.)

Thank you, Larry!
With this resource, we are familiar with. It's a great performance, but unfortunately divorced from life. This person demonstrates their command of the subject area in modellingu. But we want to potsroit real car ....
 
Wow, no idea how you do this and how this works (sorry, no technical education or cad/cam experience), but do you mean to say you can now start to produce your own GT40 from these drawings?
You have all the measurements?

Looks very impressive to me.
