Hello everyone!

[Joey Allen]

Hello,
I'm new here. I come to find this site is very informative in wonderful world of GT40!! My plans are to build from scratch after I finish building Jaguar C-type. As it took me a year to find info to build a c-type, so to build a gt40 this is going take some planning. To start, who here can tell who show building a tub step by step. This would help me understand how a tub is built.

Thank You All and Have The Best Day Ever
Joey Allen

Welcome to the forum. There's a wealth of info, knowledge & awe inspiring talent here. Most frames are space frame (tube) then skinned. It's the most economical & easiest way to build these kinds of cars. Since the original GT40 chassis was a myriad of steel stampings it would be nearly impossible to duplicate in a home work shop (Nothing's impossible though). A space frame is more "user friendly" for a recreation.
