Having fun with the GT 40 made the door hardware. Got it wrong, need to move the pivot point as the door will not fully open. Maybe 3/4 inch north. Used drywall screws to jig the body parts together and get the lines close. I guess I will get some body panel glue and mix it. They say 50 min...

Same question, building a MK1 using a Porsche 996 Transaxle. Will a 351w stroked to 427 be too much torque for the 996?

Thanks so much

So I was going to simply set windshield it in the spider to see if it matches correctly then store it away . The spider is flimsy . Here is the body, my chassis has been tack welded. Anyway trying to locate the glass if anyone knows were to get it

Hi I am building a GT also, have you been able to located a windshield. I need one also. I have the body and spider, so i guess having the glass for fit would be good. Thanks

Ten weeks into the build, body arrived today if it looks good then time to tig weld. Time so far about 80 hours.

Built the 996 shift box today out of hog out, used a 996 plastic box and made measurements to do a program on the CNC mill If fits nicely, I do not know exactly were it get mounted. I think I may build the pedal box, need advice. Thankyou

All most done with chassis, waiting for body to arrive if it looks good then it gets disassembled, and Tig welded.

And thanks for that Mark. Appreciate all the advice. Car is a lot of fun to build, going together faster than I thought.

I just turned 63 started last month. I cant wait that long, Maybe way too late.

OK the 123 blocks are 1.0 thick by 2.0 wide and 3.0 deep precision ground on all faces Brian you are right, looking forward to your help advice on this build Thankyou

You are right,Too much coffee ebay has them cheap 123 block GT 40 blocks

Go to eBay type 123 block about $8.00 each. We use them on our CNC mills to position parts for machining, Works great on the chassis build

Hi Edddy I posted some more on the front suspension last post page 3

Good morning Bill I am following your advice and hoping I am doing it right. Front C5 suspension See level to bottom of frame. the steel under lower arm is there to support it for now. See 123 block temporary shaft welded so to move lower arm forward rear ward (to make sure it fits body) I...

Thanks for that will do, waiting for the body sections should be here soon.

Good afternoon, working on front suspension and the C5 has four bolts upper arm. Washers would work on the lowers if I set caster 5 degree positive and had washers to get up to 10 degrees positive. Do you think that would work???

No problem tabs are tack welded, maybe I will just leave it.
