John, Can you please translate this to Spanish, Most of the people now in the U.S. don't understand your message. Larry P.S. Are you absolutely sure you want it back?

My 40 and 15 yr old. Christmas Day 07 in Texas

I had a honor this weekend. I was teaching my 15 yr old (who just got his drivers permit) to drive a standard transmission and we were using the GT40. We were at a local school parking lot that was empty and just doing small laps when a U.S. Airforce photographer drove up and asked if he could...

Hey guys, Check this site out in Houston, Texas. He has alittle history of a Coupe and a GT-40. I live here and this is the first I have heard of this guy. HUMMMMMMMMMM! Larry Boatner WELCOME TO FORRISTALL'S - CLASSIC CAR DEALER IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

John, My KAV seems to have the same thing. I am still sorting out the car since I have no history. I do know thru the research that it is the corvette uprights. If you have the part numbers for the brake pads can you please forward! Will save me the trial and error at the auto parts store...

Andy, Looks great, what a good place to start. What is your build time frame? The pubs may want to put in a spigot at your place and you can charge admission! Looks like you have a very understanding wife and thats a must. Have lots of friends who have started builds but put to much a...

Kalun / Ron I think you just hit the nail on the head. I think Fran nailed it several answers ago. I think it is probably an Integrity by Donnelly. It seems to be before Sabra and after KVA. The parts seem to say about that time frame. Outside mirrors are adjustable from in car, a/c...

Dalton, They are adjustable coil over shocks with lots of adjustment left. Yes the radiator is almost horizontal and the a/c conditioner is about upright. Larry

Steven, I just finished my Lone Star Cobra build and bought a 40 this last week from a guy in Ft. Myers. I loved the Lone Star Cobra, but, the LS40 will only accept the Ford Focus engine cradle. I needed the V-8 sound and power. The price is great on the LS40 but I think the RCR is the only...

WOW!!!! Thats a work of art. Beautiful and very fast I am sure. Do you find yourself missing building the car and having so much extra time on your hands? BUT, These cars seem to never be finished so have fun. Larry

Jim, Steve. Thanks, after looking at the pictures of the KVA build rear end shots the arms are much shorter on mine. I don't know if thats a later or earlier version. The Steve Saunders build is mighty impressive and good reading. Looking closely at his build the front a-arms are mounted much...

John, That helps tremendously, now I have new places to search. Yep, I bought it at the right price. The owner meant to change the Reserve price but hit the buy it now by accident. I bought it immediately and he stood behind the mistake. He really wanted 60K for it but had 13 other vehicles...

Re: Kav Gt-40 Here are a couple more pictures. Keep the good ideas coming. BTW it was sold to me as a KAV but its so nice I just want the real info. I really don't care who made it. Any other angles help? Larry
