Howdy. I have taken delivery of a GT40 chassis and have most of it tacked up. Planning on building out a GT40 Mk2. Looking mainly for advice.

Welcome to the forum Donald. You should include where you are from, to make it easier to give you advice. The UK seems to have a large amount of enthusiasts groups. Not as many in the US. Please tell us more.

Donald, what kit? chassis & body.
Hi JP. This is (will be) a GT40 MKII. I have started with the chassis flat pack from GT Forte'. I have to say I am really impressed with the laser cut pieces. Everything fits together like a dream. I want to get this chassis on wheels pretty quick. It is all tacked together with the exception of the overhead roll assembly and horse shoe assembly in the engine bay.
So GT Forte chassis but what brand body kit?
I am building a MKII also, 2 year build nearly there.
KVA B chassis & GT Forte MKII body kit.
Wouldn't recoment GT Forte these days.
My body came with the abandoned project we bought.
That looks beautiful ^^ I was planning going with the body kit from GT Forte'. The MKII body kit plus windshield from here https://www.gtforte.co.uk/body-components-8-c.asp I have estimated this would be a 3 to 5 year project. I design and write software full-time, plus do electronics design/repair on the side, and for what little time is left...play around with high powered model rockets (attempting a L3 German V2 launch as soon as all these plagues pass over). This build I am taking nice and slow. Spent two years outfitting my garage with MIG, plasma cutter, lifts, cranks, hoists, beer, etc.. I need to get my chassis rolling...meaning I need to find upper lower A-frames in order to zero in on mounting to chassis. Any advice on the A-frames?
I am from Houston, Texas. However, I've been to a lot of places world wide (x-Navy)
That's a great idea Charlie. I have never authored a thread. I'll give it a go )

POOF! As if by magic! You now have a build thread....That's a great idea Charlie. I have never authored a thread. I'll give it a go
Welcome to GT40s.com Donald!
LOL. Awesome! I'll gather up my notes and media and come up with some sort of Under Dog intro.
Keith. Can you tell me more about the sill pod brace? What sort of misfortune lies ahead?
