I guess I have not noticed how different the Mk IV design was. The replica in the pics I have posted looks like it has an Aluminum body.

Here are some pics I took off the screen of my TV. On the show the character called the car a Ford GTO. It doesn't look like any GT40 model Mk1-MkV that I have ever seen.

I think it looks like a modified Coyote kit car and is not any GT40 I have ever seen.

No progress on the front clip. Having too much fun driving it these past few months. The Holley Sniper setup really is amazing and made this car a whole different and better vehicle. I just dropped it off at my mechainic/fabricator to have the rear suspension moved rearward 1.6" to better center...

I recently installed a Holley Sniper setup on my GT40 replica but it is a modified Fiero chassis with a Chevy 350 engine transverse mounted with a Getrag 5 speed. That said the Sniper system works flawlessly and is a huge improvement. The only complaint I have is a weird sound made when the...

It is very well received by non GT40 experts and or general public. I am surrounded by people with questions and comments anytime I stop and get many thumbs up and looks while driving. Most are used to seeing replicas of the Mk1 with the longer lower front. I have come to find out that the body...

I have replaced the terrible TPI fuel injection and Holley Commander ECU with a new Holley Sniper setup and a Victor Jr. intake. I added valve cover adapters to fit the Ford Cobra valve covers and am using a Ford Cobra air cleaner. It is a replica car after all.. The engine really runs now that...

Here are some pics of the early stages of the frame used in my car. It has custom built coil over suspension in place of the stock suspension. It has brake rotors and calibers from a Camaro in the front and brake rotors and calipers from a Cadillac in the rear allowing for a cable operated...

Go to this to see a cheesy hour long public access tv show made 16 years ago. The show was about this exact car and towards the middle of the show they show another frame that is the same as used on my car. It is a custom built frame that has the Fiero engine cradle and lower center of the...

I was speaking to V8Archie and he told me the guy who made the body of my car made molds from a one of the original GT40 prototypes that at the time in the late 1990's was in a disassembled state . After some research my car may have have been molded off of GT104 which was in pcs. and waiting...

Sorry for duplicating the pics. I am still getting used to the way this forum is set up.

Here are some additional pics of the car and some I found of it being built.

Thanks Dave I would like to know more of this history. I am still learning about the car and the history of the guy who made the molds my car's body was cast from. I was told by V8Archie that the molds were taken from an original car that was one of the earliest of the program. I will try to...

I would love that. I have been a member of the British sports car club of Louisville and the Cobra guys come to our yearly show but it's been awhile since I have attended. Please hook me up with the info. PS. I love the RCR cars Dwight.

Here is a picture of the Lola GT that my car is molded from.
