A good pic of an F40 chassis

Here is a very good picture of the rear of my F40 chassis.
It might give Gt40 manufacturers something to work with.

Regards,

J.P

Re: A good pic of an F40 chassis

With some of the chassis mods and things going on around here maybe Ferrari ought to take a look at our stuff, might give them something to work with! Interesting chassis shot, got more?

Re: A good pic of an F40 chassis

hey, JP. That must be costing a pretty penny in carbon fibre repair. I rememember when Rowan Atkinson trashed his bodywork when he hit a Mini (!!), didn't that cost him over £250,000 to replace?

Re: A good pic of an F40 chassis

Jp, a very sorry set of pictures, but very interesting.

Did you get any joy out of Ferrari with them knowing the tanks had problems ??

Fingers crossed for you that it comes out as good as it was pre-incident.
