In our interview series with Chris Amon, we discussed the 1966 Le Mans Finish. He sets record straight once and for all. The interview is at the bottom of this page:RK Motors - GT40 P/1046

P/1046 - Preparing for the Unveil Hello Everybody, Paul here from RK Motors - sorry for the delay in the updates here. I am very excited to update that P/1046 is nearing completion. We have set up a website dedicated to P/1046, its development and restoration. Please check it out...

Most recent news update on our website. Very insightful on the life lived by P/1046. GT40 Legend of LeMans Film #1 Continues to Draw the Attention of Motorsports Enthusiasts

Thank you all for the kind words! it means a lot to us. We are trying our best to do the car and the fans of GT40's justice. The next video will focus on the restoration with some history and more facts in the mix- but mostly it will be on the dissemble of P/1046.

Here it is gents! The #1 video I promised you (a bit late though, sorry). https://youtu.be/IOXiJI_HILQ <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IOXiJI_HILQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Video #1 is ready and will be released Friday, March 13. It came out great and I'll share it with you later today- to give you first look! Enjoy! Jeff

Teaser video: http://youtu.be/CxtVPqKFOF0 The first video of the series will be out next week and I will share it here. It will cover the history of the car up until the time we began the restoration. It will be 3-5 minutes in length and professional narrated. We are thrilled to be able to bring...

Here are more exclusive images of the blasted chassis...

Knowing the owner, he will most likely drive the car following restoration and then it could wind up here, at RK Motors in his private collection. Like his F40, this will be a keeper in the collection.

I'm not certain what will become of the roll cage, but it was added after the big race. That choice will be up to the restoration shop and the owner. Here's a sneak peak at the teaser video that kicks off the 7-video series. Let me know what you think. Thanks! http://youtu.be/CxtVPqKFOF0

Here are exclusive images of the chassis after blasting. Now more research and documentation begins. Enjoy!

Perfect, thank you for the guidance. I'll have something very cool by Friday.

Hey gents. I have some images to share with the forum. Where on the forum should I post them now and for future restoration updates? Thanks!

I will share exclusive images and short videos as they become available. We are working on so much right now- it will take a little time before I have anything.

We have already hired a pro film crew for the full video series and documentation of the restoration. The initial images were shot with camera phones on the spot to capture the moment. The video series will be broadcast quality and will blow you away!

Engine and trans are original, as are many parts on the car. I think the transmission was rebuilt after problems developed with it. I personally have not driven the car, but Rob did drive it. I don't know what his impressions were nor if there were any particular things about it that he liked...

Things like the body panels to wiring and incorrect bolts and clamps. The fiberglass panels were made too thick and were too stiff and heavy. The original body was very thin, lightweight and pliable to a point. All panels will be reproduced to replicate the way it should have been the day it...

Thanks for such an outpouring of support and feedback on our restoration. I can tell you this; the car was owned by George and he did restore it in the '90's, but it was not restored properly. We are taking it back to its luster the day it left CA and rolled onto the track at LeMans. It will be...

Good morning all, It's great to be part of this group and forum and some of you know that we are undertaking one of the most historic race-car restorations of the LeMans winning GT40 P/1046. If okay with the moderators, I would like to provide updates and news on the car's progress. The press...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Until then...
