Excellent job Curt, thanks for sharing these precious infos... They 'll save me time (and money) ! Do you think a 4 pot caliper could be hitting the lower arm, as the 6 pot you've used ? May I dare to ask you if you would share your 3D sketches ?:D:bow:

Hi all, Great edition this year, no rain very hot weather and many superb and unique cars. Many GT40, on the GT40 Enthusiast Club, or here and there waiting under the sun ... ! Fine races and some "Le Mans Style" starts... some emotions, and many many other cars to admire, things to see or...

Hi all, bad news... Mainly due to job commitments, Serge decided that he doesn't have enough time before Le Mans to tune correctly the engine, and to check all little things that you have to check when you've just put together a car... Everything seems to be OK, but not really tested in real...

Hi Paul, is it the same place as two years ago, or not ?

Yep, normally it will be at LMC next july (if that tricky EFI management software can be tamed). Maybe you'll have to look for it a little bit, as it will probably be parked with some Renault Alpine cars somewhere. It should not be on the GT40 Enthusiast parking area.

Incredible story ! You may think that could have been more dramatic. Best wishes to your wife, for a quick and full recovery.

Hi Paul, nice to see another frenchie with the same dream... ;) And watch out next july, you should see some nice cars heading to Le Mans track ! (including mine !)

Look on summit racing web site, you'll find hundreds of dual-core alum radiators, in any size. Check the size and specs you need, and you will surely find there something which could fit your requirements... Or : Pro Alloy Motorsport - Specialist alloy components - Ford GT40 Race Radiator New...

Brilliant ! I wish I had such a tool when I redid the pannelling, behind the seats on my GTD... Do you know if a steel version of the same tool could be found on the net ? (was not able to find any...)

Very interesting link ! If you use the search engine with "GT40", you'll end with fantastic pics, among others, some fascinating details of GT 101 under assembly...

Vingt dieux ! Fallait oser :shocked2: ! Interesting idea to use this nice streamline with a little Kustom touch...(altough I'm not a fan of the new design of the rear quarter, on your first sketches). Do you keep the hydraulic suspension system ? Huge project, for sure...

For those who have 44IdFs, could you share your particular set up (engine features, jet sizing, etc...) ? To get a starting point, just in case...

On another website, it is said that this 40 had suffered not less than 3 engine fires... https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/relive-2016-tour-auto-these-111-breathtaking-images (and on the 3rd pic, the red handle for the fire system is still in place ? doesn't seem to have been...

Fortunately, everything ended without too serious damage... Here is the same car, 3 days and 1000km later, at the end of the race Le Tour Auto 2016, on le Castellet track parking. Well, it seems not so uncommon, one other of the 3 GT40s involved in this one week race has got some smoke under...

James, I have some friends here in south of France who have the molds for producing bodyworks for all Lola T70, T280/290, etc, including the Mk3b. If you need, PM me, I'll give you their contact details.

I'm jealous...:love: Well, as it doesn't look so bad, won't you sell it to an enthusiast, and buy a used GT40 replica or even a kit ? It will save you some issues, and your time and effort will be better invested in (re)building a nice GT40...:thumbsup: (and you'll please a R42 lover...;))

Is that your car ? (Spectre spotted in Istanbul, pic found on the internet). It seems to be several R42 in Turkey, I was able to found 2 there, after 2 min googling...

You own a R42, lucky you ! Very rare car, linked to the GTD40. Why don't you try to restore this very spectacular car to its original condition ? A real collector IMHO. Please post pics !

Hello, Two friends of mine, here in France, had engines made by Borowski. A nice job, they are very happy with them. The first : a 363ci (not a 347) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmOZMj4vLnM
