I'm fortunate enough to be about 20 minutes from Fran's shop. I drove my CAV for Fran to take a look at my finished product as well. Fran put alot of thought and planning into the design. The welds look perfect. If I didnt already have my car I would had definetly been one of his customers. I...

Thanks Lynn, I think the kit is pretty old but I dont know of any Id#. It looks quite different from my CAV body style. He wants to sell the car and is accepting offers above $40,000. He has it currently in the paint shop. The body is modified using the MK2 snorkels in the rear and he...

There is a guy in a kit club locally who is building an Integrity. It has a chevy 350 which is a major alteration from the original. Is Integrity the same as KVA?

Theres a nice system for those who like the carb look. I have the Edelbrock speed density setup on my CAV but would had gone this route if the product had been released sooner. Dan http://www.qualityroadsters.com/vintage_look_menu.htm

How many RF\' GT40\'s produced? I saw a question by Robert Logan in another thread which has always been a question of mine concerning Roaring Forties. How many kits have been sold? How many have been completed by customers? I'm not sure what came of Gordon Levy but it appeared to me that his...

You have pretty much found most of them. MDA is another and Tornado. If you've used the search you as well know the price ranges. ERA and Tornado have a long wait time. and the New Zealand kit is not going to be as inexpensive as many had once hoped it would be. I met a local...

I also thought immediately when reading the response that it was quite nasty. So what if someone reads a post by mistake because of the title. The question was valid and the person was genuine.. be kind.

I agree with you Frank. Somehow the posts started to lean towards one of the previous topics of the hopes of a Factory Five type of company offering a low budget GT40. That is not what this topic is about. [ April 08, 2003: Message edited by: Dan Dinverno ]

from the posts that I read about the GTM development that they did purchase a GT40 to use as an initial study and starting point. They are not following the design though. The frame will have a solid tube running thru the center area as its main support. The gas tanks will not be in the...

Frknfst, I am exited about getting the car. The only thing to slow the process of completion is the Transaxle. Hopefully it works out to come in the non to distant future. Can I ask what your real name is? Nice to get to know the names of people here on the forum. Dan

Congratulations !!! Sounds like a very nice setup. Is there a CAV dealer in Canada? I’m within a week of receiving my car. I’ll keep you posted. Dan

Great post. I like that you outlined the differences that you see in the various replicas. I've often wondered what some of the differences might be. Good luck on your build. I've seen pictures of Hershals car. Cant wait to see yours. I'm looking forward to the GT40 gathering in the...

Frknfst, The wheels on my car will be the halibrand style. One option that CAV offers is the ability to use the 351W and also the ZF transaxle. Both of these are things I wanted in my GT40. On top of all that I am getting the 6 speed ZF at a more reasonable price through CAV. I dont think I...

frknfast, My dads family is from Caserta, not too far from Asisi in Italy. My mothers family is from Palermo Sicily, but my parents families came over here but my parents met here in in the US. Someday I hope to visit Italy its a beautiful country and culture. About the car.. I will...
