Hi Allan
Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
I was hoping that someone could refer me to a book/link/anything where I could read up/look up the differences in body styles/changes as production progressed from the MKI to I believe the MK IV.
I have been into Chev Corvairs for the past 20 yrs.
I have bought a CAV "Proto type" body from Jordi in Cape Town. It was rejected due to "moulding" imperfections incurred during the "vacuum moulding" process. Jordi explained that they are in the process of "ironing out" the vacuum moulding issues.
From what I can see now that I have very crudely propped the pieces against each other the rear seems to be a "wide body" kit. Rear wheel arches are very flared, not exactly what I wanted. This car will be a daily driver and not a track car.
My approach was to build a replica which most closely represents either a MK I, II, III or IV, with what I have. I am in no way a purist and this will be a scratch-build to suite my pocket. No knock-off wheels, regular induction system etc.
Have ordered the Haynes GT40 manual as a guideline to see how things fit together "generally". I tried Tornado sports cars as they sell a build manual with their "flat-pack kits", quite understandably they declined my request to purchase a manual only.
I know nothing about GT40's other than many hrs spent reading up on the Powertrain/ Transaxle section. Am hoping to start my build thread this weekend by posting some pictures of the body panels.
I look forward to any advise/response from anyone who can assist me.
Thank you and kind regards
Henty
