We live in Bishops Stortford (UK). After a few months of researching and following all you guys on here I decided to splurge on my first kit car. I placed my deposit for a GT40 rolling chassis and other parts which i hope to receive before the end of the year and commence my build in earnest. My wish list is quite long and I will be using you guys to temper it into reality basis you experience. For which I thank you all in advance and only hope to one day be able to provide some useful feedback to you all.
Meantime I sourced a 1979 Ford 302 V8 and have since stripped it, dipped it in a chemical bath and the stroker 331cui parts for the assemby. Just waiting on the presure plate and flywheel to send the rotating assembly for balancing.
I have already met a forum member who very graciously invited me to his home to see his car and spent hours hosting me and providing the benefit of his build experiecne. To Martin I am grateful and hope to repay him one day.
I have recently also heard that there is a GT40 with Gulf livery knocking around Bishops Stortford.......if the owner is on here and willing I would greatly appreciate getting in touch. I still have loads of questions and would love the opportunity to see another completed build and chat with the builder/owner.
I can’t wait to get started......
