That's VERY nice Andy... Is she steel? Curious about the fuel tanks are they part of the mono as well or do you have some sort of bladder arrangement? |

Yes its steel like the original.
Tanks are foam filled Aluminium cells to prevent leaks.
Thanks

Whoa... that is a piece of art... really nice job.
So this would mean i wouldn't have to put fuel tanks in or put the roof on??
Could be the clincher as to where i put future funds.
Dose the Mono change the weight distribution at all? | |

Well done.
I really like the original look of the chassis. Lends itself to be built into a really classic looking Gt40.
Any plans for a steel roof in the future???

No plans for a steel roof at the moment as all those sold in the early 90's had a GRP roof section.
A steel roof would be expensive and thats not the way we want to go with this.
We want to offer an original looking steel Mono at a great price.
Thanks
Andy

Andy | Any chance it could be offered as an extra cost option?
