Will post some pics as long as I have some interesting progress to show. The 1/12th trumpeter kit has great shapes imho, but I'm not specialist of the GT40 as some members around are... As I told before, the rear section of the car (humm... the most interesting...) is way from accurate...

Hello. If you want a model kit, there is only one "large" model of this car, the 1/12th Trumpeter kit which represents the 66' le mans winner. There is also a "die cast" model of it, same scale made by CMC I guess, but pretty expensive (arround 900$ on ebay). The trumpeter kit costs...

PM sent Johan :drunk: Olivier.

Johan, Is there any chance to find some pictures in your "uncle's" archives? Thanks Olivier.

Hello everybody. I'm looking after pictures of this car, the #2, driven by McLaren and Amon in 1966. Especially under the front and rear hoods. I've searched on Google, but didn't find many pictures. Thanks for your help. Olivier.

Hi! Any news concerning your build??? Olivier.

After reading a "battle" post concerning Gearfox boxes, I searched on the net, and found this: Cima - Products - Automotive gearboxes So it seems that those boxes still exist... Olivier.

Hello! Some members around should have what you are looking for... but won't share, even for money I'm affraid... If you are lucky enough to have acces to a real car, plan a 2 days trip, take your scale ruler, buy a tool to measure angles... And take all measurments you can on the car...

Hi! Isn't that what you are looking for? GT 40 powered by Ford :: MG Rover Bartzick :: Cheers Olivier.

Hi Everybody! Spent some time to read your posts, very interesting... Even if hard to translate in french. Just my 2 cents contribution to your discussion. Hope you won"t mind nor feel that this is a self congratulation speech. I do not have the pretention to know anything better than all...

It seems, as far as I know, that for this kind of work, softwares like blender, 3DSmax, and others are pretty much "tolerants" for the modifications... Pure surface design (with a CAD software, like solid, catia...) asks some strong knowledge of the soft. Those softs (3dsmax...) seem to be...

Hello Leopold. THanks for the answers! Very interesting and instructive... Even if I'm a mechanical engineer, some words are pure chinese for me (maybe a translation problem :stunned:, or I should have spent less time in pubs and more studiying when I was at school :idea:) 3000 hrs? Ouch, I...

Hello! As everybody said before, this is an AMAZING job! I really appreciated all the steps exposed here from CAD to parts. Would you take a little time to explain how you optimize the monocoque design? Which loads, where...? I'd also be interested in learnig more about the first way you...

Hello! Here is my first attempt to design a rear rim: Some details are missing but it takes shape... Any comments welcome... Olivier.

Hi! @Richard: Yes it is a good idea about the 1/12 kit, but, most of suspension parts are way from accurate... Anyway thanks for your reply. @David: You're right, his work is awesome. Concerning my part of the project, I've finally found a fellow member of the forum ready to help me...
