Hector, very happy to see you complete the build. It’s always a lot of fun exchanging spy pics and kidding around about our progress or sometimes lack of!. Way to go!

Looks fantastic Mark. Congrats! Wondering how painting around the windshield went. Most builders have painted the body then installed the windshield. I’m thinking to get the car on the road in Gelcoat to pass inspection and registration then do the same thing like you and have it painted...

For the sake of completeness this post covers the routing and install the last of the main power cables. Laying all this out took a lot more time than expected. It’s always difficult to make things look neat, but very happy with the way this came out. Used 2 gauge wire to supply power to the...

Mark, Your car turned out fantastic. WGG was a great color choice.

Randy, I second Chris’s opinion. Although I’m doing an SLC and not a GT40. I have seat sliders and an adjustable pedal, but that is really to align your legs and arms to the steering column and pedals. Then put the shifter where it Is comfortable after that. At first I set the shifter where...

Venius, Here are some reference photos I saved…

Kurt, I forgot the whole purpose of the seat brackets was to get them more in-board. Those steel brackets you made came out great. Alex, if you want to get the seat more in board than the stock RCR brackets take a look at Kurt’s build page. If you still want to use the RCR brackets but need...

Alex, As long as you have two outer brackets that point in the right direction you should be good. The inner brackets you can’t see,

This was Koso’s state of the art back in 2019. Fran ordered this for me. I wound up selling it to another builder since I went with the AIM Dash and PDM. Thought it looked great…

Most builders angle the seat slightly toward the center. The steering wheel may need to be angled as well. if you want it lined up with your body which I recommend.

Thanks Hector!

Wondering what other builders are doing to seal up this area? Was thinking of fabricating some close out panels in this area, but maybe there is a simpler solution…

Mark, Thanks for posting this. Glad to hear the battery fired the engine right up. I also went with an Antigravity battery after Dusty and a couple other Ultima builders recommended them.
