    Starting my GTR chassis build

    Happy Holidays to everyone here. There's been slow progress on the Merc since the last post. The pedals are in along with the master cyls and reservoirs, wiper arm, linkage and motor, windshield defroster outlets and tubing, electric power steering. Its a slow pace but I love every minute of it...

    Homemade CFRP mid engine sports car

    Hi Paul, A CNC Router is a great addition to a shop. I built mine years ago for guitar making and just recently cut the aluminum pedal pads for my CLK-GTR build.

    Hello from Sweden

    Welcome ! One of our members here is building a Miura from scratch. Take a look at Joel's build thread for inspiration. . https://www.gt40s.com/threads/modern-day-miura.54786/

    I am with a heavy heart to hear of John's passing. He was very kind, generous and an important key to my understanding of chassis design. you will be missed.

    power steering

    Hello all, like Jim I also chose a Volvo/Ford electric power steering pump for the CLK build. I found a used one locally that luckily came with the mounting bracket and hoses. I fabbed up a small corner for the pump to live in the front suspension cradle, ahead of the passenger footbox (LHD)...

    Thanks Chris for the link, great pictures there. . Hey Neil, the oem stuff was budget friendly and I enjoyed rebuilding the calipers. Replacements are in stock locally to me too.

    Starting my GTR chassis build

    Thanks Terry, that's reassuring to hear. . DaveC, I'll make sure to watch that video. That 1996- 1998 era produced incredible road cars due to the homologation requirements. And over night McLaren became last year's car as Porsche and MB battled it out. I find it all incredibly interesting. -Vince
