Re: Tornado TS40 #875

Hi all,

With chassis #875 shipping in a couple of weeks, I thought I'd extend FREE shipping to the USA (Massachusetts) on TSC parts, to those interested.

Whatever extra will fit in the crate comes here free, less the cost to ship to your US address.

If you are interested act very soon!

Cheers,
Scott

Re: Tornado TS40 #875

875 arrived today!

I'm stunned.

Proud to say it folks, the TSC GT40 Deluxe Component Package, is the "Best Kit".

BAR NONE.

EVERY SINGLE PART to build a GT40 replica is here, in my shop.

No hunting for this part or that part, or gee guy's where can I buy this?

Or, oh that is not included.

Or my favorite ... How do I install this?

It is simply amazing!

The bodywork is flawless.

The welding is too.

All the hoses, clamps, screws, lexan, carpet, wiper blade and arm ball vents etc.

The list is practically endless.

It even has the CORRECT steering wheel boss.

I'm speechless.

Pictures to follow as the build starts to progress.

This Saturday.

Engine dyno runs on you tube to follow.
