I just looked at the beginning of this thread, was started on May 19th, 2020. So I need to have the car at a a 98% or better finish by May 19th 2024, (meaning a few cosmetic details left, of course the car will never be 100% , right? ), and for sure must be driving on the street by then. So...

Strong work, just get'er done and move on to the next thing . Will serve you well.

Next was the rear clam window and vents, the vents were straight forward , I ordered the standard ones, the finish looks standard but they are made from carbon fiber anyway, I'll take it, they are super light. I was very nervous about cutting the plexiglass, as everybody knows getting spare...

I cut a hole on the rear clam for the clam to clear the transmission when fully opened , that meant the rear hinge had to be split in half and therefore the clam reinforced with extra layers of cloth fiberglass and an additional aluminum square tube. Hopefully it will hold . After the spider...

Alex: Remember that if you have the gated shifter the center console does not fit at all, and has to be heavily modified together with the bracket for the shifter cables. I don't remember what shifter you are going to use. I did ended up using the original center console because I love the...

Mark Love it, A GT40 for sale right now has the exact same color . Beautiful . I struggled with the paint decision as well, decided to go the Plasti Dip route for now like Cam, until all the cracks and rub spots are sorted out. but will paint gloss black the inside spider surfaces like Cam...

I am way behind on my posts , I will try to catch up a little Next was the roof scoop duct, to direct air from the front scoop to the engine compartment , it also prevents water and debris from entering the cabin. Tricky to make for sure as it has to follow the roof curvature, fit between the...

Alex: A good piece of advice I got form Howard and Cam, make sure the steering wheel is centered on the seat, your legs will go a bit sideways to reach the pedals and that is not a problem , but the steering wheel MUST be centered to the seat , otherwise it will not be a good driving...

It is incredibly exciting, been daydreaming about it for years, literally. Thanks, stay the course , be consistent, work on it every week, don't get discouraged and you will get there. Remember is a marathon not a sprint. And don't be afraid to reach to others for help. Everyone here is...

Excellent work Joel .

I took the FFR cobra class at Motts , even though it was a nice experience it is a totally different animal, the car was already built, so everything fits , no modifications are needed , just an assembly process. Even though mine is an SLC I assume the MK II build is also a much higher level of...

Excellent point , fact based Neil.

Alex, Welcome to the forum and good luck with your build, my lines are stainless and routed on the outside, so I don't think my setup is helpful to you . Just FYI, Joel has videos about almost everything , of course all the build threads on this forum are super helpful to compare ideas, The...

How are you related to Raul? I am confused, what happened to his blue SLC?

yes of course, I order from them and every site you can think of, for some reason I could not find that particular one in stock , had to order it from some obscure place

I would strongly recommend that you have a firm grasp of the details and you can trouble shoot problems, or a mechanic you trust 100% takes a look at it, for instance: do they have a wiring diagram or at least most of the wires are labeled and easy to find? , and the list goes on and on for the...

And also a detailed plan of all the little details you do or do not want to do , and the parts you need, a great chunk of time is spent finding those , to give you an example I just went through , the fuel tank vent, ( to decrease the smell) I used the II much, well, it does not come with...

please sign me up for the 12 step program. if you find one, LOL

yeap, that was the general consensus back then

Great story Neil, I also loved learning all about tuberculosis and the unfortunate "lungers" of that time.
