    Exhaust Modeling Kits

    I did use the ICE ENGINE system. In the end I needed to make extensions for the longer tube sections. I mocked up what I thought would be good. I was basically fitting up for clearance to the body. There is a picture in my build thread of the finished pipes. It was helpful but I think the price...

    Well....here goes all or nuthin.

    These pictures show first the left side sill area where the tank resides. I ended up scanning on the car to account for any springback of the panel. In the end there wasn't much. Then I scanned the chassis. Put them together in a model. Determine by cross section what space there was and finally...

    Hello Ryan, I bought this net from a German company Called Aesub. It was around 600 bucks. It does speed up the process but depending on the scan there is a little more cleanup because of the net grid. Kind of a trade off.

    Since I'll end up building my own tanks I scanned the tank body panels. The net draped over the panel has targets for the laser scanner. You can also see them on the suspension parts.

    Sourcing Fuel tanks

    This may be a stretch but does anyone know of fuel tanks for sale for GT40Australia cars formerly known as DRB? Or who built them for These companies when they were in operation? I'm getting ready to either build them or if possible purchase them and save some hassle. Thanks for any help. Pete

    Originally my setup was for C4 calipers. In the end the balance for braking would have been around 80/20 back to front. So I upgraded to C5 caliper for front and rear. In these pictures I mocked up a new caliper bracket machine in dense foam. Once it checked out I went on to machine out of aluminum.

    GT40 Dashboard CAD file wanted

    Hello, I happen to do 3d scanning and I happen to have my GT40s Australia Dash available for scanning. Will that suffice? Pete

    Steel welded frame vs Monocoque

    All good points you both have made. I would say it is certainly something to consider both from a skill level and cost either way when choosing a chassis.

    Steel welded frame vs Monocoque

    One thing not mentioned regarding Mono versus space frame is cost of repair in the event the chassis is damaged. I know there are all kinds of consideration when choosing a chassis. And I realize people may want to stick as close to original as possible. Setting those aside I read somewhere if...

    Exhaust Finish

    I used Jet-Hot as well. The picture dosent do them justice. I had the extreme temp coating on the inside and regular outside to aide in reducing under bonnet temps.

    Thanks Randy. Here is a scan I took of my engine /tranny. You can make out the red fitting, one of two coming off the back of the head for cooling.
