252lifer - Francisco

It's been a long time from the last time I was here. just wanted to say I'm back.

They were a result of teamwork with Mirage Automotive who did the fabrication.
I have been researching these cars for six years to get to this.
You can see more information in our Mirage Automotive build thread.

I decided to go with Gt40Australia otherwise known as DRB. I bought the basic option which is the body and chassis only. Here is a link to my build thread.http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/29672-well-here-goes-all-nuthin.html
I am going with the supercharged 4.6 engine and Ricardo transaxle. I did need to do some chassis mods for clearance but it's in and looks good. I hope to fire it up later this month before I get too far into installing the other components.

So what route did you go?
There is a guy named David Morton on the "GT40" for sale thread that said he knows a man that might still have a origenal set. It's not mutch but it might be a lead.

I did pay up front for the drawings. I think I paid $3200.00 for them. Dave was in the process of finishing some detail and assembly drawings. So I waited and waited and waited. He also builds the tubs as well as other cars. He's a busy guy. That I believe was the problem. After about a year and half of waiting and still not much to work with I decided to go a different route and he refunded my money. He's a nice and smart guy. I don't know if things have changed regarding delivery of any drawings. So, I can't comment on the quality of the drawings since I never really got to see any.
