I was interested in reviewing what you did but I couldn't get the site to load. I just got to a default website saying the domain was registered.

Congratulations!! Well Done.

I have been slowly working on things, mostly planning unfortunately. Business is down so play money is not as good as it was. Since these panels were spares copies from an original car, they seem to be very accurate. They were supposed to be produced from molds off the original parts from the...

Merlin, did you cnc the body from a model or did you build it by hand, ie cross sections, clay, etc? Thanks, Bart

I'm working on building a GT40 as a gift to my father in law and it's on a tight budget, very tight. I too have Chris' chassis plans. I had not considered using corvette rims or aftermarket rims for corvette. What did you use, are these from a standard C5 or Z06?

Troy can you share a little info on your rim and tire choice? I see early pics with knock offs then late with MOMO lug rims. I'm in early stages of planning a somewhat conventional build that I plan to use Corvette C6 arms and uprights and have not decided on rim and wheels yet. Thanks and...

Thanks Charlie. I just got back around to revisiting this thread. I'll have a look. I may go with the wide rear so may go to 12 inch wide on the back. I intend to use C5/C6 brakes so I'll be in 17's as well.

Thank you for the reply and link. Are you using a stock water pump or electric?

Thanks, I'll follow up in a few

Folks, What are you using for front accessory drive brackets? I'm trying to scour around for my options. I'll be running an alternator and A/C compressor.

Hey bud, just checking in to see if it fit. Thanks

If you don't mind me asking what is F5 charging for windshield?

Jay was my plan as well but he has not returned my call or text...

Thanks. I have a set of the original blueprints that were circulating a while back saved somewhere. I'll dig up and compare.

Thank you guys. Interesting that it's just a rod bonded into the door. I see several of the kit manufacturers using the rod ends.

Guys, researching door hinges. With so many replicas, it's become difficult to internet search pics. LOL. What do original door hinges look like? AND is there a better design door hinge out there if the originals have shortcomings? I mean the GT40 was a race car, I'm building a street car...

Randy, you may know off of the top your head without me having to scale some original drawings I have. What is the width of the original footbox? With corvette C5/C6 I can get the footwell to about 31 inches wide because you can get the lower arms slightly under the footwell and uppers of...

Guys, Can anyone point me in a direction for a windshield in the USA. My roof is a copy of original. I tried Jay Cushman but he seems to be out of them. Thanks, Bart

On the plans you posted....BW is Brian Wolf or Wolfe not sure. He was in the US and a replica guy (GT40 and Diablo). He made some simple main chassis drawings (like your GT40 ones) probably 20 to 25 years ago. (I've been around replicas too long, LOL) I acquired the ones you have when they...

Thanks everyone and thanks for the offers Scott and Neil. I'm building a street car with Corvette hubs and may keep the brakes. If I keep the C5 or C6 brakes, I don't think they will fit in a 15 inch wheel. Looks like I'll be looking at Vintage or Image. If anyone knows of other sources for...
