    Ford GT40 Factory Blueprints Chassis plans from Ford Advanced Vehicles

    I've never found a complete set. Occassionally, you see a seller with 4 sheets selling for $10 a sheet. I'm suprised its not openly sourced at a reasonable price.

    Paint and Body Work on RCR Cars...

    Hey Sean, Let's chat. I have a lot of experience having airplanes painted, in the Texas area. In some ways these paint shops are similar because they are familiar with fiberglass. In others, they are different because it is not always a state of the art $million paint booth. I would stay...

    Original Monocoque construction

    Capacitance Fuel Probe / Sender

    The problem with capacitance systems is that they are calibrated for a specific fuel dielectric. If you get race gas, ethanol mix, or water in the fuel, the gauge will no longer be accurate. This has been a big discussion in the homebuilt aircraft community. Here is a quote from a popular...
