    Studs or bolts.

    I like the idea of using studs and then nuts - I used Stage 8 bolts on my Cobra with aluminum heads - never had an issue but I did before using Stage 8. Costly but worth it.

    RBT Transmissions

    Are these guys still around? I've tried calling a dozen times over the past 4 weeks and get voice mail every time. Cannot leave a message because their memory is full. I've tried emailing Lloyd but have gotten no response.:huh:

    WOW! Thanks to everyone else for the input. I like the color combination on the car.

    Paint Colors

    Is this a real GT40 or replica? Trying to find paint color codes.

    Work table

    Do you have some way of locking the height into place? What happens if you loose oil pressure? My concern is for your safety and in the event of a catastrophic oil loss the car comes slamming down on you.

    Pros/Cons

    Looks just like what I'm after. You are correct - I want to build mine. Can you give me some specifics on your engine, clutch, flywheel, bell housing, transmission, driveshafts, etc. Nyla say go for the 14" wheels. All I can find are 12". Can you point me in another direction. What brand and...

    Pros/Cons

    All good information - I appreciate everything. The people that know me know that when I am told something can't be done that to me means the correct answer just had not been found yet. I am a principle project manager designing and constructing mult-billion dollar nuclear reactors with a...

    Pros/Cons

    I'm really not looking for complexity - I'm going after dreams. I've always wanted a Cobra, GT40, and a Daytona. When I build the Daytona it will also have 600 hp. My Cobra with 525 is fast but wish I had a bit more

    Pros/Cons

    I've got 525 in the Cobra and I want more in the Gt40. I don't want the power to always burn rubber. 600 is a lot but it also depends on how use use it. To me driving a car is not always treating the gas pedal like a on/off switch.

    Pros/Cons

    No. I plan on keeping the car forever - same with the Cobra

    Pros/Cons

    Thanks for your email. I guess what I mean about originality may not mean the same to others. I don't want something on a VW chassis. I want something that looks like the original but I am not going for a "restoration" or perfect match. Having said that I believe RCR, CAV, Superformance, tornado...

    Pros/Cons

    I am not looking for a perfect match - would like to do something that looks good - not like something someone would build from a VW. Plan on having about 600hp. What transaxle would be good for that? Budget looks something like this: RCR Deluxe kit (or similar) - $42, shipping - $2, paint -...
