Very good advice. And after all, the reason we're all here is to help one another, right? I readily accept any help, advice, correction, or direction any one is willing to offer me.

Thanks. I'm actually getting excited now. I figure I'd build the frame and anything else that I couldn't buy first. I know I'll need to purchase the body (and of course engine, tranny, wheels, etc...). I just couldn't fork out $25,000.00 - $50,000.00 up front for a kit. Plus, the...

Hey, definitly will do! Thanks! Metal work is not difficult for me. I worked for Westinghouse years ago (where I did make big bucks) and fabricated (some design work, too) one-off and custom assemblies and parts. Also, I'm a better than average mechanic and have done extensive work on...

OK, I am now seeing many "scratch" builders who, it appears, are building their GT 40s from the ground up. Looks to me that if you have the proper welding skills, jigs, etc..., that this might be the cheapest way to go (initially). I'd love to be able to buy a CAV, Tornado, RCR kit, but due to...

Do you live around that area? If you do, and if it'd be OK, I'd love to come look at it, if you wouldn't mind. Whenever it'd be convenient for you. I drove up to Asheville to see Gradys MKII and drove up to Raleigh to see Johanns MKI.

OK, who drove their silver MKII down Main St. in Laurens, SC about 4:30ish Saturday, March 20?

I hope this is the right place to post this: The Kiwi Scratch build has got me eager to do a GT40. What I'd like to ask is what would be the minimum shop set up required and the same for tools/equipment. I have a two bay garage, compressor, a decent set of Craftsman tools - (all drives and...

Hey Johann, Just wanted to mention to you that I really loved the CAV. That's really the one I want to build. Sooooo.... what I'm doing is trying to do everything in my power to get the money together for the CAV. I just didn't want you to think I've given up since you haven't heard from...

I don't mind 'em. I have 4. I actually look forward to the drugs.

First off, let me thank Grady Wilson for inviting us up to Asheville to take a ride in his MkII. Like I said, the folks on this GT40 website are the nicest and most cordial of any forum I've ever participated in. He was most helpful and answered all of my questions. His wife was very nice to...

I think this is a fantastic idea. I, for one, did not choose a career which affords me money to burn, therefore I don't have money to burn. My life revolves around a ministry, so you can see there's no money there . I see where many posters also talk about their Ferraris. Yeah, I have a...

Welcome! This website is a bastion of infromation. I had many (stupid) questions, but everyone on this forum was patient and answered all of them. So much so, they've actually pointed me in what I feel is the right direction. A far cry from where I was going. I, too, am "financially...

OK, this is what I need in my stable: (1) GT40 MkI - CAV; (2) T70 MkIIIb; (3) 917; (4) 2D.

CAV - Hands down.

My wife loved it, which may aid in me being able to purchase one. That's why I asked Johann if he'd give her a ride (LMAO:laugh:). I do really like the Gulf theme, but my wife (and I agree) that we may go with a silver grey with red interior. After that, I'll decide on super charger or twin...
