Great forum this is !!!somehow i got hooked by the 40 a few years ago , and last week I stumbled across gt 40 kits(as an original one is out of my range yet..)
I really would like to build one ,however i have to wait a few years,but my problem now is (i even dream about it!!)
A)there are so much differences of the original cars that it is difficult to determine what an exact replica should look like,probably a mark I or II
B)these where never meant for street use(or am i completely wrong on this??)so probably no left hand drive ,only right hand drive with the gear lever at the right of the car...if there were left hand drives where would the gear lever be ??
C)the most important question?What is today the most authentic kit you can find?(so no safir ready built ones or the holbrook)
the chassis should be monocoque not a spaceframe(or am i completely wrong again..???)
What it all comes down to is this what kit to choose if you want a authentic replica down to the chassis and of course the body .
sorry for my english but i am trying , so if i offend someone whith grammatical rude questions...sorry i don't mean to.
