The first KVAs I can remember were the type b chassis', it used a Renault transaxle anyway, I think he kinda got the UK super car replica scene going but was soon overtaken by better ( laughably bad nowadays) engineering of competitors, it was all badly welded Duttons, Contessa ( really ugly...

RB is notoriously brutal with its drivers, then they do spend a fortune bring young drivers up through the feeder series. I think the honey badger has a contract signed with RB till 2018, where else is he going to go? The best empty seat on the grid is the one Massa just vacated and it looks...

No idea, I was just going to 3 print a blank and sand cast them in aluminium, chrome them. An accurate mk3 will require a lot of one off parts methinks. I am not sure people here like Mk3s much, the red headed stepchild of the GT40 world. Have you picked up a gt40 then? I am building a mk3...

There is a set of original narrower Halibrands on fleabay Uk at the moment. 6k GBP for the set, which is about 2000$ since Brexit, pair each of 7x15 and 8x15. Genuine Ford GT40 MK1 Halibrand wheels

No, KVA have been out of business a long time. Not many got finished, the quality was, Meh! And they were just bits in a box rather than a bolt together kit we expect nowadays, This looks like one of the better later ones, but still not an easy project to take on and half finished older kit...

And no one has mentioned my misspelling. Yeah, I have found a good 8 inch already. Oddly enough about 10 miles down the road, which does go to prove you never know what is hiding in people sheds. Good enough for the spare wheel as is, no loose spokes and it runs true. I like Daytons, but...

Hi, looking for 5 Boriani wire wheels. Good rebuildable condition. I don't expect to find it all as a job lot, so a wheel here and a pair there will do. 3 of 8" front and 2 of 10" rear. Cash waiting, shipping from the USA is fine, i have space available in a container from...

Hi, Does anyone do mk3 panels? I know of the old KVA mk3 replicas, now everyone seems to have gone to mk1 and 2 only, since I have now decided to do a period looking complete with correct side glass wire wheeled (I had a heart attack when I got a price for a new set of 5 Boriani wheels)...

Well, spent half of yesterday looking at cars in a breakers, there is a cheap one just down the road who always does me great prices, but not a lot of choice. I will go with the stock corsa b rack for the moment, it almost certainly will need replacing, but it will allow me to get a head...

Cheers, but LHD is the issue. Not a GTD either, but scratch made chassis so the mounting is immaterial. And it is a long time since I saw one of those early Fords round here. The change in the environment laws has meant pretty much all the scrap yards I know who had old cars like that have...

I am full on parts collecting for a scratch built gt40 chassis, But I want a kit of the mechanical parts ready and collected first. Tried and tested corsa B column, but I am at a loss whether the B rack will work or if there is an awesome easily available one I am over looking. I...

Spider, I meant the cockpit surround, it seem what you guys call them. A convertible GT 40 seems a bit odd to my eyes. I was assuming already the cockpit, windscreen and doors was a package deal to get fitted well with each other, more labour, less outlay. It was mainly René's build that...

I do have a question though, could I just get away with a spider, windscreen and doors to get the chassis built, Or do you need the front and rear clips to get it all lined up? Space is always at a premium, and since I won't be ready for the front and rear bodywork for 2 years and they will...

Hi, pleased to meet you all, virtually meet at least. Anyway, after fence sitting for a while between starting a 356 coupe replica or a GT40, the gt40 has won, mainly from reading so many awesome scratch build threads has convinced me yes I can do it too. And my brother will be doing a 356...
