That's pretty awesome. Your work is impeccable.

We use a lot of "panel bond" like Fusor in the collision portion of our shop. While the glue joint is stronger than sheet metal, it comes apart really easy with heat from a propane torch so it's not even permanently bonded if you can get heat on it. We worked behind another shop that bonded on...

I hope to start on the sheet metal on the chassis next month. What is the most common grade and thickness? I see 90%+ rivet but has anyone bond (like Fusor) and rivet to decrease rattle noise? What about bond and screw? Thanks

I'm no expert, still learning and probably always will be. I'd say that is not an original screen as in 1960's production. It may be a original "shaped and contour" but not an original as in it came from one of the 100 cars or period spare. My opinion only.

I have a GTD bare chassis for sale, $6000.00. Located in SC and would prefer buyer pickup and cash in person. I am willing to ship but may holdout for some local enough to pick up.

So what is generally used as the pivot in the parrots? Is this urethane bushing or some type of bearing? I appreciate the pic because I had in my mind the parrot would have been upside down so the weight of the rear clamshell would hold it better.

Thanks

Ahh, I see. Thanks

I have a non-GT40 project that I would like to use Audi 4.2 V8 to 01E trans. Should be the same belhousing as your 012. What flywheel, clutch, starter did you use for your build? Thanks

I don't think I understand. Any pics?

Since I'm scratch building I'd like some advice on clamshell hinges. I'd like to start aligning body panels. I tried internet searching and there are more replicas than originals. Not that I intend to replicate the originals 100% but I would like to see what the originals look like. I would...

What steering rack to the GTD chassis use? Was it early MGB?

Thanks for everyone's input. I think I can buy the mold to this rear clamshell so I may pick it up.
