Progress of the giant - One Off Large GT40

[Phil]

Hey Bill:
Long time no see, I guess you have been very busy with the Giant. Looks great.
Are those Shockwaves on the suspension I see?
Should be a real attraction at the show.
Good luck
Phil

Welcome back Bill!

Curious what became of the belt drive differential system you made..

At one time I was considering doing something very similar with the Corvette transaxle/differential.

Hi Randy -

Check out the picture in post 37 - If I'm not mistaken, I think you can see the belt system still fitted, esp to rear n/s (uk) side - i.e. left side of picture....

 

Still using the belt drive. We will have an 20 inch long version in the works for our 917 it will be good for over a 1000 hp it is a 6 speed paddle shift.

 

still cant figuer out how to post pitchers Can any one help?

Hi Bill -

Here's a couple of previous posts that might help with the posting of pictures.

Actually - reading them again, it has changed a bit, when making a post, if you scroll down below the box in which you type the words, you'll see an area marked additional options and a button marked -manage attachements.

Clicking on this button will then present you with the option to point (browse) to your folder/location where you have your photo's stored. The software will re-size them accordingly to 640x480 pixels.

Hope that helps but if you can't figure them out, mail them to me and I'll post up for you add comments.

I'm off to Donington testing now for a couple of days (hscc TVR) so wouldn't be for a couple of days though..

Right you are Paul.. I had looked at Post 21 & 22 which clearly show a ZF box and thought perhaps the belt drive system may have been shelved.. I see now after looking at the other posts that you point out that I surmised incorrectly..

 

Thanks Paul . Randy I am doing 5 GT cars 3 of them have ZF boxes that have been modified

When will the Belt drive car be finished? Awsome engineeering and execution so far on all cars!

At 6ft, 210lb, I like the "larger aspect!

 

[Scott Diego]

Is this a larger GT40? I was told that there were kits being sold for a body 180% larger than stock....What would it be called? Who makes it?

 

There is no kit planed at this time. There are fore under construction now five are soled. we plan on a total of 10 cars. these cars are very expensive to produce. My clients are in control of this project. They are a diverse grope, with a lot of auto industry experience. The final moulds are being produced now.

Do you happen to have some pictures of the finished product?

This post is nearly 4 years old. Here is the site for the cars. The pictures there were last updated 2007. There is a link to the fellow who was going to sell these.

They are not finished yet two of our supporters for the project can no longer contribute. One passed away and one had a reversal of Fortune that left two contributors. I could not see having them pay for the hole project and I cannot work on them full time with just 2 cars going. So they are on hold until I can get two moor sponsors. I did meet with a break company and a Tire manufacture at the SEMA show who my help. That being said we have been making progress one car has most of the body on it and 2 moor are ready to be mounted.
