Bonjour Michel Merci des tes encouragements ; j'ai vu que tu es toujours bien présent sur le forum, contrairement à moi qui suis sujet à éclipses... Mais le projet Lola ( En équipe , cette fois ci ..) avance bien et je prévois de me remettre à un reporting un peu plus dense dans dans les...

I almost achieved the upper front link, and other related small parts, enought to use upper and bottom for preparing the chassis front panel . Before , we have to achieve a critical task : measure the GRP body at the "strategic" points where it is linked to the chassis , and adjust slightly...

The work on the GRP molds and first panels ( Christian side ) is going ahead . The pictures show the front and rear clips first pieces and the corresponding spyder adjustment in the "master" ( Beige parts) . The windshield fits pretty well... We should have the first body completed within 2/3...

Hello Rick You may try to contact Mark Clapp on the forum ; he delivered me nice covers, years ago .... Rene

The "Reverse engineering" work on the chassis design is presently almost completed, exepted on the magnesium rear cross members ; See Marcus parts picture : We decided to make our parts from "good old 2017 alloy" and replace later with purchased magnesium parts . I made a design from the...

A recent step on the MK3b build : My "co-builder " Christian received the Hewland L600 box he ordered in UK from Racecarsdirect.com As expected , the importation procedure was a little bit longer than it was ( You said Brexit ?..) but finalized without issues The box is announced with very...

Neil, A very important subject you pointed out , thanck you ; and the fact is that when I made the "Reverse engineering" work , I was surprised by the small gauge on axles, tubings etc ...which has been designed on the originals . And I took the decision to re-evaluate a little bit the gauges...

Hello all, It has been a long time since the last post on my GT40 build (A Riviera scratchbuilt) ... I have first to apologize to all the people who asked for questions I did nor answered ! The main reason being that I was more focused on other projects ... However, I took time to install an...

Hello Russell, I am not very present on the forum since a few monthes , mainly due to the building completion of my scratchbuilt GT40 ...

Hello Mike , A French friend of mine is interested and asked me to get in touch with you ...I send you an internal message . If you come to a deal with him, the crated part would be to send to an US adress from which he would activate a container disposition to Europe .... René

Bob, I had a similar interrogation for a Ford 302/331, in a scratch-built MK1, not very different from a Tornado . After investigation with mechanic and electric solutions, I finally decided for a FORD RACING cover + water pump : M - 8501 -A 50 . I got it from Summit Racing ( Presently...

I made my "Gulf Numero 6" with 10 " wide for the orange stripe , including 10 mm wide for the 2 marine blue stripes on each side of the orange... No sure it is the exact genuine spec, but close to ... Rene

I had a similar experience with Edelbrock RPM Performer heads on a Ford 302/331 at 200 miles mileage: one intake stud fully unscrewed and the side one found loose... By chance, no damage ... I made a complete disassembly of all studs on both heads and found erratic torque levels and no...

Absolutely superb result Terry ! No doubt that you would achieve this quality level, but when we look at your last pictures : "chapeau bas " ! René

Leon, Very good choice made if you can go to epoxy versus ester resins solutions ; in addition to the previously given advantages, you will experience 2 attractive points: *Epoxy retract ( dimensionnal variations) is very low after polymerisation, compared to XXester resins . *From...
