There have been a couple of Fiberfabs on the auction site Bring a Trailer. Take a look there . Lots of details and photos. They were originally designed to fit on a VW bug chassis. I built one in the 60's like that with a 140 HP corvair engine. Fun and a real learning experience. Maybe start...

My 40 was painted by Just Driven , a custom shop in the LA area. Nice video on you tube and on their web page. Search GT 40 replica inspiration for cancer survivors. They reworked/painted it before I bought it so I have no idea of price. Paint work is quite nice.

Is there any way to tell if a UN1 is uprated by looking externally or internally with a borescope? I have no plans to take it apart to see what is inside just for fun!

The pair of Hella H4 60/55 watt t45 bulbs fit the original GTD headlights just fine.

I just bought two Hella h4 60/55 watt t45 bulbs for my GTD . I got them on Amazon for $3.50 each. They look just like what I removed. They arrived today so I haven't installed them yet. The t43 base wont fit my lights which were OEM GTD. The smaller base (t43) is the one with 3 tabs. The t45 is...

My GTD is number 283 and the doors in particular are like that. I assumed they are all textured so that they look presentable when painted.

Thanks, Mike and Brian

Thank You!

Mike, could you measure the 9 hole rear deck vent. I think I will look at maybe changing mine for better air flow. Thanks, Bill

yes, that is it.

Mike, I wondered about the rear deck vent. It almost looks like they simply inverted the MK2 deck vent and finish painted it. Thanks for the other tips.

Great ,Thanks. Now for some more research. It seems to me the Bamford name floats around UK collector cars which would fit with my later history. There is a picture of it undergoing transformation at " DVEN.org/GT40-replica"

You are correct. It was originally a GTD40 MK11. I'd love to know what info you might have on vin 28391. Here is what I know so far: It was acquired by the Bob Pond Collection of more than 110 cars sometime after it was built. Pond was a wealthy industrialist with a penchant for collecting...

Photos and some specs of my new GTD 40 can be found at "bring a trailer GT Developments GTD 40". It looks great in person to me. Luv it!

Please pardon my fat fingers. I have a GTD40 inbound not a DTD. I promise to read twice and post once.
