Hello Forty Forum Folks. I am, at last, picking up my car! It's been a fulfilling, long learning process. One of the things I learned (of the uncountable lessons) is that this is a car you must earn. At least in my case. But, by all accounts it has made it a real adventure I never saw coming. So very worth it. Absolutely without question. At first I wondered why there aren't thousand on the road being as awesome as they are. Now I know. The word "replica" or even "continuation" somehow dilutes the truth of the thing. This is my perspective, take, experience. Getting involved in this thing was like a crucible of car ownership. I feel I've graduated to the next level. Feels good. Apologies if I muck up terms, FNG status in effect.
For the sake of Sunday coffee I'll keep it short:
SPF GT40MK2(P2341), LH drive, Shelby Windsor427, Inglese 8 stack FI, Fast ECU, Quaife trans, Olthoff shift linkage upgrade, Gurney bubble, I did not install the spoiler for the clean look but will later, probably Olthoff canards too.
Vinyl front & rear to replicate Alan Mann Racing #7 though with a twist, and I went with #8 (I borrowed Guy Martins font), just because.
There is a ton I'd do differently but this was all new to me so the knowledge was hard won and well learned.
I'm happy with it. Look forward to finding other '40 guys down the road.
Now I drive!
Cheers (or "go like hell" ) :thumbsup:
