Hey Adam, very nice work. I am now wondering why I haven't given any thought of vacuum-bagging, seeing as I used to use it extensively on R/C glider wings. The way I see it right now is I'm going to end up with flash no matter what I do to try eliminating flange parting lines, etc. As you...

I guess the moral of the story is that it's going to depend on how your local law enforcement is feeling that day... Bill, that's exactly what I was thinking, any photos would be greatly appreciated. Not that we're bombing around at 150+ mph or anything but my major concern here was cooling, I...

Re: Suggestions: Aesthetic Approach for Front Licence Plate Mark, good to hear from you and you're right about the lack of front plate. I understand Ian down in Burlington runs without one up front so I guess I could say it's OEM...? Back license plate location is an interesting topic as my...

Wow, thanks for the pic, Andre. I'm still a bit sheepish after my last posting (see Front License Plate...). That's what happens when you're in a rush to get out the door and don't check your word processing auto-spell! I'm sure to receive a dictionary in the mail soon. As to the F3L, I just...

Oh my god (pardon the pun), I apologize for my spelling (yikes)! Perhaps it was a Freudian slip that got through while wishing that the problem would disappear through divine intervention... Sorry about that, folks. Anyway, I think the idea of the plate hinged at top and folding inwards could...

Does anyone have any suggestions for mounting a front licence plate onto a GT-40 that would look atheistically pleasing AND not disrupt normal air flow through the radiator inlet? Our dilemma here in the Frozen North unfortunately is it's mandatory to have a front licence plate in Ontario, thus...

Good advice, Kalun. Thanks! Rick

Hey Adam, how about a laser scanner for generating a data point cloud? Just a suggest Looking good! Rick

Does anybody have a diagram of the general set-up of the NACA ducts feeding the various cockpit vents..? Just curious. Rick

Re: New Manufacturer Thanks Andre. Fran suggested I make a buck of the F3L sometime after finishing my '40. I think I posted before that I received some station profiles of the car from a gentleman based in S. Africa, the profiles were intended for slot-car modellers. I was able to scan them in...

Re: New Manufacturer I don't know, Andre, that F3L looks pretty good. You didn't by chance get a mold off Mr. Piper's car when it was at your factory being repaired, did you... (wishing hopefully)? Regards, Rick

F3L, did I hear F3L...?

Re: If this doesn\'t make you want a GT40, then check for a p Keith, just got mine in the mail... Thanks! Rick

Simon / Chris, it's interesting to note that your front clip has the same parting lines as the set of molds that I have, makes me feel better. I was getting worried about smoothing these out during production but it seems to be OK to leave them on... Rick

Yup, it's a Porsche 906. No where on the box does it list Porsche for copyright purposes so they may just grabbed any old pic and used that for advertisement purposes. Hope they do a ProBuilder version, though, my finished Ford GT has a place of honour on top of my TV to remind me to get my...

Ben, I'll take a look tonight to see what it is, I thought it was a Porsche 906 Carrera, will confirm later on... Would be cool if they continue in this theme, 1/18th diecast is hard enough to display, imagine 1/12th! Rick

Re: If this doesn\'t make you want a GT40, then check for a p I was nursing a headache but after seeing that video, I feel so much better... Thanks for the link!

Why don't you guys come up to Montreal for the Grand Prix? They block off a street in Montreal just for Ferraris, how about une petite chasse de Ferrari...? Something I've contemplated to do ONCE I'm on the road. Rick

Re: Factory Five\'s Quasi-Clone Lotus snob...

Re: Factory Five\'s Quasi-Clone What I see here is an attempt to blend in a '60's era greenhouse into a 21st century design, just doesn't work from an aesthetic point of view, if they were to streamline the back to a more tapered shape, it might improve the styling from the B-pillar onwards...
