Hey you car lovers. New here, been surfing & lurking, reading some of the build diaries. Some outstanding tallent & knowledge here that's for sure. I don't have any GT 40s (the Shelby Datona coupe is my wife's dream car)but would like to build a Can Am or Le Mans type car & I see Lola & McLaren lovers are wellcome here too. I did have the pleasure of working for John Collins doing fiberglass repair ( I got to drool on his McLaren M8F). He was Dan Gureys' crew chief in 68 & 69 at Le Mans when they won back to back & signed he several pictures in the "Shelby GT40" book I have. Unfortunatly he passed a couple of years ago. I have a 76 Corvette (hope the Ford guys don't hold that against me LOL) & a 71 Lotus Europa. I'm currently working on or re-working a Devin body to go on a Spitfire chassis. I'm modifying it a bit to my own tastes & smoothing out the uneven body work. When I get it the way I want I'll pull a set of molds. I've been in love with the Can Am cars since I used to go to Riverside Raceway in the early 70s. To own a streetable Lola T70 is my ultimate dream. Look forwards to reading about the great builds going on arround the world here.
