Congratulations Scott,
Scott's GT left my shop today, going home so Scott can finish the build. I took a video of it, to provide anyone interested, with a video tour. Thanks again, Scott YouTube - GT-40 | |

Scott,
I can see it in my mind's eye now: " The strident baritone of four Weber downdraft carburetors echoing through the Connecticut countryside. A brilliant flash of yellow as the spec GT40 hurtles up hill , down dell, mincing tidily around picture postcard country roads in the Housatonic river valley. With a blip of the throttle, Eric. " Whaat? ...Did he say Eric!!!

Eric, you need to write a GT40 book!
Ok, so today I installed the fuel tank fill pipes and caps.
Then I installed the front and rear wiring looms, checked the operation of all the electrical systems (all good!) and closed up the light box covers.
Aftewards I installed the front radiator inlet mesh, wiper motor assy. and washer nozzle.
Following that, I started installing the pre-cut carpets included with the kit.
Cheers,
Scott | |

That is brilliant and does both the Tornado Kit and your build credit
Well done to both parties
So next question - how does she drive?
