David, I'm also interested in how you make out with the F5 windshield. I have a body made by Bill Hough and was planning on a windshield from Jay Cushman. Thanks, Charlie

These are 15" Team III. Covers are available to conceal the lug nuts for a pin drive look. Charlie

I built a FFR Cobra about the same time you did. I used Team III wheels and was pleased with them. It looks like Team III was bought by ET Wheels but the wheels I bought are still available. http://www.etmags.com/ac_iii.html . I'm using late C4 Corvette hubs and brakes (12" rotors) on my...

I would be interested as well. I haven't been able to find anything decent so far with internet searches. Even just the block would be helpful. Charlie

Thanks, I don't have one to compare. That picture is from someone's build site I found during an internet search. Charlie

I'm looking to do something similar to RCR for an upper ball joint. It looks like they're using a tie rod end. Does anyone have a manufacturer and part number for this? Does this joint have a GM taper? I'm using front uprights from a 88-90 Corvette. Will the taper fit without reaming? The...

After about 14 years I still only have a pile of parts. Although, the pile has gotten bigger recently. Charlie

Can you post some dimensions? Width across the pedal faces, height, depth. Thanks, Charlie

Hi Padi, Are you in the US or Europe? In the US, DMV is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Do the car papers you have list the original manufacturer? If you post that and your location perhaps others on this site could help you out. Charlie

Welcome Padi. The answer to your question is, it depends. I purchased a body that is a replica of a 1966 Mkl. However, here in MA when a kit car/replica is registered and/or a title is applied for, the state assigns the year it was first titled as the year of manufacture. That's how it...

Looks great. Congrats on the first drive. The wheels and tires look great, what are the specs? Charlie

I purchased the flat pack chassis kit and paid using PayPal figuring it was safe. After a couple months and much BS, I finally received the shipment. When I took inventory of the parts I discovered over 20 parts were missing. After getting nowhere with the vendor to provide the missing parts...

I have dealt with him and I won't ever again. If you order that kit from him, if you get anything at all, it will be incomplete. I say this based on my own experience. Charlie

Bill does make a great product. I bought one of his Mkl bodies about 10 years ago. I'll finish this project one of these days. Charlie

I spoke to Bill this morning via email. He says he is still making Mkl and Mkll bodies. Charlie

Holley sells carburetor manifolds, both single and dual quads. They look tall to work in a '40, though, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sne-829011/overview/ Have you considered running EFI with used parts? You might be able to pick up a harness and ECU from a wrecked Mustang for the same...

I used this in my FFR Cobra. http://www.norcal-cobras.com/store/russ_garage/mk3/mk3tss.html I'm hoping to do the same in the '40 but I don;t know if there's room for it or not yet. Charlie

Hi Bryan, Thanks for the info. Yes, I'm in the US in southeastern MA. No, the kit didn't come complete, I'm missing several parts which I'm still trying to get. Charlie

Looks good Bryan. What did you use for your table top? Is that laminate countertop? How's it working for you? I bought the same chassis kit early this year but I haven't started the build yet. The build table is the first order of business and I haven't decided what to do yet. Mine is most...

I'd have to look up what I paid. It was over 10 years ago. I'm ashamed to admit how slow my progress has been. After an enthusiastic start, I haven't done anything with it for years until recently. I don't know about shipping; Bill is local and he delivered the parts to me. I'm sure he...
