My car is now back from the painter , and the engine is completed and tested in bench. But still lots of work to do, and now I have to be carefull with the paint.

I do not think that my car ever will go on a track with me in pilot seat and take out all potensial from the engine. I'm to old for that. But I want to know that the engine can be run at max load without any problems, and the diff with the exhaust will not be a issue until someone want to do...

The test stand can load up to 1000hp, (no one can do test with a free spinning engine) . Since this is the first time I do this kind of job, I started with a setup I though was a fair beginning . And I had not a full cabinet with emulsion tubes ,main jet, air corr. etc. I have to think what...

Even if it is a long road to tune the Bolonga Webers I think it is worth it . And now I have the engine in a test bench, it is the ideal condition to tune for max power and in the middle area. The idle can be done home in driveway. I will experiment with the smallest main jets witch not will...

I know of 3 MkI and 1 MkII all monocoques in Norway , that includes mine. The MkII I belive will be almost ready, this one will only go for racing, the MkI will be road cars. I think that building time for a mono with body and on wheels today can be aprox 6 months more or less, All jigs...

We did not say that you all should give up, we just pointet that to build a gt40 monocoque , you need almost every drawings, and you also have to make lots of tools, and not to mention all CNC work, so you need to be a skilled solidwork user. and you must make molds and cores for uprigths...
