Thank you Bill, but you are in paint and will be driving while I'm in paint!
I'm going to give it my best though.

Scott,
Shifting gears to threads that are somewhat old........What camshaft did you ever decide on for your car?
The progress you are making looks good! Keep up the good work. Your updates are appreciated.
PS: Your shop looks too clean......and I did not see a refrigerator in any of your pictures. Do you drink warm bere?

Hi Gary,
I chose the Holman Moody "C30Z" -6250-C.
Thank you for the compliment.
Every step of the build will be documented here.
No beers while paneling!
Cheers,
Scott | |

Thank you Marcus.
It is childs play compared to what you have going on.
Anyone with a few simple tools and a little patience can easily panel a TSC GT40.

Scott,
Please take it from one who got caught out.....before fitting panel 5, fit the steering rack. Otherwise you will end up with cuts and scraps to the back of your hands and dislocated wrists and maybe some blue air in the workshop

Hi Ant,
That would be true except I am going to fit a removable panel on the steering rack front cover (panel 12). Similar to the one fitted on the footwell cover (panel 9).
It is shown in the build manual.
Tonight just some drilling and final fitting to panels 5, 9, 10 and 11.
