Ron, If it's copyrighted, you probably want to be careful with publicly posting the pages here. If it's like a similar interesting pub I'd like to share (which I provide scans of below under "fair use") i.e. published between 1964 and 1977 with notice (the copyright symbol), it is good for...

Based on what's hanging around my basement, definately the "bread wagon":

I'm sure that the customer list Owen got as part of the RF assets he purchased didn't indicate who got a car and who didn't, so I really can't blame him. But the stamp thing, now that is just inexcusable :) Al

I would post this in the RF owner's forum but since I'm not one, I'll put it here for now. Attached is a nice reminder I received from the new RF today. Dear Owen, With respect to me be registered as owning Chassis 129, I can unequivocally state that this is incorrect. That's not to...

Mine's not built yet either, but she's been behind the wheel (rhd) and refers to it as "her car" and that's cool with me.

Also note that World Products offers a 8.2" deck height block with 351W oil pump and distributor locations (known as their "C" block), allowing for a 371 CID (4.125" x 3.470"). Like a Dart, this can go out to 4.200". Al

Chris, Very glad to hear you son will be OK. I hope he is able to quickly recover fully from his injury. Best Regards, Al

Also available from Amazon.com (1-3 weeks to ship). Note the title not quite the same... "Racing in the Rain: My Years with Brilliant Drivers, Legendary Sports Cars, and a Dedicated Team" David Bull Publishing (August 15, 2006) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1893618714 Regards, Al

Check out the airfilter with what appears to be glued on injector stacks!

I've driven by D&M many many times and never had any idea they did mechanical work let alone handled Superformance, Panoz etc. Very cool! Al

One more thing - check out http://www.elektro.com/~audi/01E/ for some good 01E wide/narrow 1st gear info. For a 25.8" tire:

Hi Bob, Jerry Jansing installed the Quaife in my 01E and is very knowledgeable on the subject. I'm sure he would be able to help. I'll PM you his #. Regards, Al

Hi Ron, Let me know if you need the full rez... (67 penske T70) Best Regards, Al

Thanks Mike, Sounds like it will be a blast to drive. Best Regards, Al

Hi Folks, Can anyone comment on the typical body gap size(s) that the original cars had? I realize they are probably all somewhat different (and may be different across the deck,hood and doors), but I am just looking for a general target. Looking at the original photos I have available...

Hi Mike, I was wondering if you are having Olthoff install a Roush engine package for your MKII. I had dinner with a group of Roush developement engineers at a Road America banquet last Saturday that indicated they have developed an engine package specific to the Superformance GT40 using...

Sorry Fran, You may want to give Noble (noblecars.com) a call. They offer a non metallic Ecosse blue on their cars that I was told by an Noble owner is a duplicate of the D-type color. Al

Hi Fran, I assume you are looking for Scottish racing blue, and not a late model code, so take this for what it is worth as it is *not* for a D type Jag: PPG CODE 901449 OEM CODE BY4 (2002 NISSAN, INFINITY) COLOR: ECOSSE BLUE From http://www.ppgcarpaint.com/paints-bycolor.php...

That's some very trick looking side or "coin" window hardware. It looks like there's even an integral gasket to seal it to the main side window. Now that's attention to detail! Best Regards, Al

I'll be leaving mine bare. I like the way it looks either way, but mine won't be seeing any poor weather, and I just don't have the time (or space!). A long time ago I was told in a materials engineering class that any defect in a paint film over aluminum greatly increase the galvanic...
