Hi all,
I'm a newbie to the forum, and still finding my way around here, so apologies if I ask stupid questions. I purchased an Active Power/Ardern Cars GT40 roller from Chris over year ago and am fixing to restart the build process. My progress was delayed by an unplanned restoration of a classic Corvette that I have and I plan to have that completed sometime in Spring. After that, I'll be 100 percent back into this project, which I have given myself 1.5 years (from time of resumption) to complete. I've found some threads on the topic:
Chris (owner of AP) has been excellent with support thus far, but I'd also like to get other fellow AP owner's insight on their build process, and some guidance with mine as I have no prior experience with a ground up build out of replica.
Also, hoping to purchase a set of 'bundle of snakes' and various other parts, as needed, for my build (stroked 408 Windsor). I can purchase this through AP, but would rather buy from a user who bought them and ended up not needed them, as that should hopefully save me some moolah.
In a nutshell, I'd love to hear from AP owners out there, and would appreciate the guidance!
Thanks everyone!

Rick's Active Power GT40 Build
Well, here we go. I think I have enough parts to get started on this build and create a thread for it. Picked up 2 of these beauties back in June from Chris at Active Power / Ardern Cars. They are the ones with the chassis stretched 4" from the original for a wheelbase of 99" In the shop...
