Based on the various build threads I have read it looks like the preferred location to mount the E-stopp electronic braking system is along the outer drivers side frame rail. Wondering if after the car is built and the body is on, how would you service it? Do builders make the floor pans...

I am not a fabricator or an engineer but can figure things out and follow instructions. I had fun building a Cobra many years ago and decided to now build a GT40. I did lots of research looking for an affordable rolling chassis build. I looked at the quality of several manufacturers and found...

Hello Everyone I will be receiving my RCR GT40 MK2 in a few weeks. I noticed in the manual a rolling build table for the chassis. Does anyone know the dimensions of that table or a platform you may have built/bought? It looks like 3ft x 6ft. Scrolling through the manual I didn't...

Well I'm still in the planning stages of a GT40 build. But I really want to have everything lined up before I drop the $$$$. I've been pouring over all the stuff online regarding various drivetrain possibilities. I think I've got the trans down as a Porsche unit. I've talked with several of...

I am looking to buy or build a GT40 replica. I have seen multiple GT40's that don't have AC. How hard is it to add? I haven't found a kit yet other than a kit car manufacturer. Has anyone add ac after a build? Any pics of the AC install? Thought about electric driven compressors vs engine driven.
