Its been a while and dropped in to look at all the new builds. Pretty cool. Still have the GT40 and its still running perfectly. Now building some other cars, a photo of my shop. I know they are not GT40's but they are a load of fun. You can see the 40 in the background :)

Fast work, well done Sean. I wish I had moved through mine a bit quicker as I love driving it. Could have been driving it years earlier with your pace :)

If anyone on the forum wants a fun read and some great images like the one here you should check out Retromotive Magazine. I'm not affiliated with them but I do know they ship overseas. www.retromotive.com

Quick image of where the car sits these days. With summer upon us I am looking forward to driving it a heap more.

A great write up and some very good photos of my car can be found here: HOME-BUILT 2016 FORD GT40 REPLICA | Street Machine Enjoy

Thanks, except for the engine... apparently

Started GM and changed to Ford. The later pictures confirm it.

Thanks. The photos are awesome and I really like what Glenn has done with the story as well. If you live in Australia be sure to pick up a copy, the rest of the magazine is great too.

Thanks for the reply. I think I will need to add spring return to centre to the RCR shifter. The R8 shifter is worth a hell of a lot of money.

Is the gate spring loaded?

I just connected the standard RCR shifter in an RCR car with the Graz transaxle. There is no spring return to the 3/4 gear position and it feels a bit vague. has anyone looked at adding any spring return at the shifter or the trans for the cross gate movement?

Coyote. Fuel injected ITBs turn the key and off you go all day long with good power. Can look great if you do it well. If you want to look original are you also putting Girling brakes, full steel monocoqie, peroid fuel pumps etc? Some would say that I am biased though!

That's it, it's great.

I used ramlift, works great and fast. Only negative point is it's loud when it hits end travel and activates the bypass.

Well done, I love the OEM parts mix on the car. This is one of my favourite "practical" RCR cars and I look forward to your next post to see it progress. It will surely be a great car to drive.
