RCR GT40 BR. SUND. N

I positioned the spider first (per the build manual), then the front clip. The fore/aft position of the rocker panels and rear clam is then established by those pieces. My rocker panels ended up as far aft as they would go without modification. With a wheel base of 94-1/2” my tires fit nicely within the wheel arches. My front tires just kiss the gas tank access panels. I am going to dish these a bit to create clearance.

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but here's an update.
I'm working on recreating the front frame from original drawings and pictures from original cars. I also had a lot of help from Tom from Germany's build log. Made from square tubes 25x25mm and 20x20mm.

It was important that the radiator fit. Made brackets that hold the radiator in place at the bottom. I think the strength of the frame is sufficient for towing and jacking.

Primed the frame and test mounted it. Fit perfectly. Now all that remains is painting the frame and top mounts for the radiator. Side plates and air intakes for cooling pipes for the brake discs, but that will be a while. Now it's summer and the GT40 project will not have top priority.

Very nice! impressive work!
