Cool pics, thanks for sharing, Pierre. Rick :grin:

I don't mind the front-end treatment but I think you could have gone a little "retro" in the styling with 60-era strakes but that rear wing just won't do, it's a totally different era of technology/styling and it doesn't compliment the car at all. I like the idea of adding a splitter at the...

From the docs I've collected, Bill, apparently the P69 didn't make it, unfortunately. If I can get my scanner going, I'll post the 4-way drawing in this thread... Rick

Got the general outline drawings for the Spyder too... Looks cool, but I just don't know about all those Chaparral airfoils... Rick

Ross, I've been asked several times for my CAD drawings that I made off the drawings supplied from S. Africa. I agree with Andre that the car is too impractical for anything other than what it was originally designed for... Mine you, it is a gorgeous car. Andre, you mentioned about the GT70...

Re: Playmate of 1998\'s CAV on Ebay Yeah, it was Alain De C. asking her with his leering eyebrow... maybe he was looking for a date?

Re: Race Car Replica\'s Cool, it'll give me an excuse to drive my 'Cuda down to see you... Rick

I had the privilege of attending the Detroit show (2004 NAIAS) and it was a real treat seeing the GT up close. Considering the crowds gathered around it and the Mustang, I would suspect that Ford execs would be happy with the result... Rick

I second that, really looking forward to driving down Easter weekend just to see the car, great job, Jim, hope you don't mind taking some photos for artistic reference... I've been itching to paint a P4. Rick

Re: Race Car Replica\'s How's it going, Chris? Haven't heard anything lately, was wondering how you were doing with MDA... Rick

Other suggestions: - Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale - Fiat Abarth 2000 Sports Spider - Tatra MTX

Re: Steve McQueen\'s film \'Le Mans\' If you watch carefully during the opening shots of "Le Mans", you are awarded with a white GT-40 supposedly driving into the parking lot... it's a very brief shot, though.

I guess I'm biased but I use SolidEdge at work everyday translating old drawings into CAD, it's the same software from Unigraphics used by Mosler to design the MT900 exotic. Regardless of which CAD package used, you can import/export any .dxf, .dwg, or .igs file into any of these apps...

Bill, if you want to see real Porsche 906 under restoration, go visit http://www.gunnarracing.com In addition, in the February 2004 issue of "Excellence", there is an article on a replica Porsche 910.

Gents, how about the Ford 3 Litre prototype (AKA P68)? By the way, Hersh, thanks for the link for the Porsche GT1, I've been trying to track this down for some time!

Thanks Ian for the reply. I am interested in the car so why don't we take this off-line and I'll email you separately... I'm glad you like the Ford 3 Litre GT, I've collected a lot of documentation and models (die-cast, plastic, and slot-car) on the P68 and was fortunate to receive some really...

As a fellow Canadian, how did you get around the DOT regs for importing a kitcar into Canada? If you check the www.riv.ca site "Registar of Imported Vehicles" website, it clearly states no kitcars less than 15 years old may be imported and are forbidden. Unless you said you were just going to...

Andre, I really like your idea for a replica-based racing series. This is further incentive for me to complete my CAD drawings for the Ford F3L, afterwards, I'm going to start the wooden buck... Good luck and keep us informed! Rick

So gentlemen, after seeing how that Ferrari P4 is turning out, would anyone be interested in the F3L as a replica? I was speculating that a tubular frame chassis would be easier than the original monocoque, perhaps a modified GT-40 chassis to fit. I was fortunate in receiving scale drawings of...

Something cool but a bit obscure... the Tatra MTX Supersport [ January 05, 2003: Message edited by: F3L ]
