When I was repainting my car, due to an accident that fractured the rear fenders several years ago, I sought out the paint codes for Linden Green and was highly disappointed. Glescoe "wouldn't" give me the codes and the Anglia Ford group in England wouldn't/couldn't supply me with the paint as...

Bob, Just came across your pot on the rear camera. I knew that the higher the camera the better the view. I added a small Sony camera that is just a computer chip and a lens. It does however come with an accessory cable and port that allows you to alter 10 to 15 perameters of the camera. It is...

Fran, Couple of weeks ago, I ran into a guy who "supposedly" has possession of most if not all of the "Fast and Furious" cars. He has a shop in Lilburn Ga. and is trying to recreate several of the cars. I don't have his contact information but would like to contact him. Any help you could supply...

I think the starter issue(s) are a thing of the past, and yes the color is Linden Green. Thanks to Andrew who supplied me with a sample from an original, and a little luck with Ebay. Gave it to my paint shop and they mixed some that was a perfect match to Andrew's sample. John lets make that...

Since my retirement 2 years ago I have been busy with my car getting a few bugs worked out. The notorious starter has raised its head again costing me a 5th(you read that right) ring gear and starter. The starter manged to break a collar mount. This was sent back to HiTorque for repair. Three...

Way back when in 2012 I posted info on a unit that Kieth Stafford and I collaborated on that went into my 40. If I remember correctly Kieth ran an electronics outfit in Ireland, and we came up with a unit that would work nicely. Look up DRB#5 and go to page 9. I believe and it makes mention of...

NickF, The learning curve for me was pretty simple. I had owned only front engined cars so I knew how they handle, and quite frankly I had heard more horror stories of Cobras "loosing it" more than with 40s. With the almost even weight distribution the handling is easier(for me anyways). My...

Kyle, I would suggest that you look at some of the build logs of DRB's I did a quick search for mine(DRB#5) and got results here: https://www.gt40s.com/search/31290/?q=drb%235&o=relevance You can find my built from there. Lots of good info and ideas. Plenty of "Stories" about the adventures of...

Got to doing some cleaning in old files and such. Stumbled across an old pic of my 40 from February 2016, at Coffee and Octane. This is one of the biggest shows probably in the country. They hold it on the 2nd Sunday of each month weather permitting. It is held at Perimeter Mall on I-285. This...

You might look in the RC Forums to see what they are using on their drones etc. I been using the Runcam for several years now and it is hacked into a stand alone monitor(4 cameras at one time or one main or two at a time).I also hooked a Sony 1080P board camera(a computer chip with a lens on...

Well guys, I am back into working on the 40 this winter. The car has performed great with minor issues that have been overcome. Lost am alternator belt demonstrating to a buddy the awesome power of the car. Noticed a drop in the voltage which told me right away that the belt was gone. Managed...

Let me start off by saying that, that is an innovative approach to heat shielding. That being said. I think you will find that the area that needs shielding the most is the decking around the carb/efi area. the exhaust curls around the edge of the motor and rises up as it meets the other side...

The problem with Lexan are at least three fold. First they are "usually" screwed to the supporting edge of the fiberglass which is weak at best. I guess they could be glued, but that won't help much as they have a tendency to flex with the wind forces. Which leads to problem #2. The Lexan has to...

Have been away from the forum for some time now. For those who follow me on this grand adventure the car is doing great. I am toying with a major revision on the car. To be discussed later on "IF" it becomes a reality.About the windscreen issue. Some of you know that i have for one reason or...

Richard, My car being a DRB has the front pivot as a door hinge at the base of the front frame. Trying to duplicate it would be the only way my mounting points would work for you. What you will have to do is trial and error the placement measurements of the specific spring setup you have...

An elderly golfer comes in after a good round of golf at the new course and heads straight to the 19th hole. As he passes through the swinging doors, he sees a sign over the bar that reads: COLD BEER: $3.00 HAMBURGER: $5.00 CHEESEBURGER: $6.00 CHICKEN SANDWICH: $6.50 HAND-JOB: $25.00...

Here are the pieces for the fronts and rears. There was minimal grinding for the bolts to line up. The front uprights needed taping for the caliper to mount. and the steering connector required some grinding for the rotor to clear. Here is the adapter after the parking brake was removed...

If any are interested,,,, I may be replacing my C-4 front suspension, and they may be available soon. Will know more next week. Also there is a set of rotors/hats and the pieces that are needed to adapt the "Wilwoods to the C-4(6 pot calipers) Back when I was looking for a set of calipers and...

Alright Jason, great video. Now the questions. Which camera did you use? The bumpy video is from the mount and the wind. That is the easy one. The tough one is how did you accomplish the buffering of the wind and capturing the exhaust sound? Remote microphone?? Inquiring minds want to know. Bill

I see you are adding a "Black Box" in case you get lost in flight!!!! Bill
