I am looking for the same, but in UK
Hey Paul,
Well... I thought I did. As it turns out (after talking to my better half some more) it turn out that I'm not taking that plunge just... yet.
OFW This just means I'll have to wait longer. Or attempt to make it on my own. And, although I belief I can handle making the body myself, unless I get a hell of alot smarter and become an engineer I'm not going to be doing that myself any time soon.
Of course, if there is any one out there that can do the chassis let me know, I can make the body
he, he

Why not just buy the body/chassis and save
money by doing the balance yourself over time?
You can get any one of several body/chassis
kits now for $ 10k (including RF)delivered
to the West Coast.

That was also an option. I was looking into getting either a partial built car or just getting a body and chassis kit. After initially agreeing to it my wife wasn't crazy about the idea.
But, I have another idea. I'm thinking of scratch building the body and chassis. Maybe make something in between the original and new GT40s. Hey, if I'm starting with a blank piece of paper why not?

One look at the complexity of the GT40 body
should tell you why not to do it.

Just curious...
How would you make the body?
Do you have access to one to splash from?

mad dog, I think you will find this is a dead post. Doug (redcat) hasn't posted for three years.
Have a read of this...."Name shown with posts - Use your real name or something close. Pseduonyms like toofast4u, etc. are not particularly welcome at www.gt40s.com"
Re-post your question and tell us your name. You'll be made most welcome I'm sure.

Tony, with due respect, I actually want to commend Mad Dog for resurrecting an old thread rather than starting a new one. When we log on we can see a list of threads with new posts, regardless of when the thread was created. Fewer threads about the same topic are better, they facilitate searching for and finding the information you're looking for and it cuts down on clutter and redundancy.
This partially assembled RCR-40 has been popping up on Ebay periodically for the past 2 months:

I agree the new owner and I chatted yesterday and he seems very pleased..
the previous owner was just too busy with the race team and their new commitments to the AMLS series to find time to build...he has told me that he will be a back in a 40 when time permits....
