Dear Tony, Saw your MK3 on the net. Interested in some details. I can be reached at [email protected] Best wishes, JF

Jim, I saw your post about selling the MDA kit. Is the chassis the latest model with the roll bar in the roof, or earlier type? Any coating on the chassis? Body with any defects? Is there a bell housing to link the transaxle to the engine? What parts are still needed besides the engine and...

Feb3/12 The kit in question is a custom "one off" model whose windshield is most similar to the GT40 in shape though larger. Hope this is helpful. Jake1

Feb.2/12 I am in possession of an unfinished kit car with a plexiglass windshield that needs a glass one to be eligible for licensing on the road. Width of the plexiglass windshield template when flat is 67.5 inches and height is 27.25inches. Does any one out there know of the dimensions of...

Aug.22/11 From all the discussion about gt40's I gather that most often for racing the car is driven mainly by a single driver. Has any one ever considered building a competition model with only a single seat in the centre a la Mclaren F1. This would add to the space for extra large fuel...

Sept.27/10 How old is the motor? Any warrantee on it? What is the power rating? Will it fit into a replica GT40 engine bay with a G50 or similar transaxel? Is it fuel injected or for carburators? Jake1

Sept. 27/10 Thanks for the flurry of interesting responses. The allegiance to the gt40 is loud and clear. I submit however that a true change in size alone has never really been tried by any company or individual as far as I know. (Except maybe the Lone star model from Texas) Before...

Sept.25/10 I'd like to share a suggestion with the GT 40 community that will first sound like total heresy but I'd still like feedback. When I read about the issues of daily driving most owners will complain about loud noise, low head room , high heat levels, poor visibility due to low...

Apr.30/09 What type of gt40 is in your photo? Replica? Original? Beautiful car! J. Friedman [email protected]

March 31/08 Is bodywork flared in the front clip as well as rear? How old is the kit? All documents included? Exportable to Canada? Is left hand drive possible as well? Asking price? Let me know. 514-808-9569

Sept.29/05 A question to all forum members: I have read that galvanizing steel protects it from rusting. Most chassis are coated or painted. Is there any reason that galvanizing is not used for this purpose in GT40's?
