hahaha... Steve, any car would be welcome, I'm not a 40 owner at this time so I would most likely be in a mazda.

This is something I came across a few weeks back for using an older H-pattern manual with paddle shift... MASTERSHIFT | Paddle Shifters, Sequential and Electronic ASaP Had I come across this a few months ago, I would have considered saving up and trying it on a T56 I was running in my RX7

Thanks Grady, I had no clue about the forest.

i've encountered the problem before with pictures from my phone... after looking into it, it's an issue with how the device saved the picture and how what ever displays it reads the data in the file. Some devices will save all their pictures in one orientation and then set a flag in the...

For the past 9 yrs I've hosted the Blue Ridge Rotary Run ("B3R") each October for mainly the rotary group - rx7s, rx8s, etc... This year's trip is the 8th and 9th. We meet up in Asheville, NC, grab breakfast and then cruise the parkway down to Cherokee, NC. For lunch, we drop down the parkway...

yes, old kia lot... and I want to think I've seen your Buick... I seem to bounce between my rx7 or my miata. hopefully by the next one the rx7 will be finished!

rotary swap!!!

sounds like i'll be in the middle of a nasty custody battle!!! hahahaha and thanks for the offer to couch surf at our place, definitely something I will keep in mind... and who knows, maybe by then I'll have appeased the car gods and have started my own gt40 project.

I do go...and I've talked to Phil (red) and Larry (yellow) a few times. Phil was also kind enough to give me a short ride a few months back in his. here are 2 pics from Feb C&C with my dad joining in the pics

Andrew, that's awesome! I would love to one day make the trip across the pond and try to see the car at a show, I believe it's been to Goodwood the past 3 years. Also, in the past week I made contact with the immediately previous owner (I believe) of #1070. He did mention to me that in 1970...

hey Axel, just found this thread... and OMG!!! I'm right with everyone else on the amazing work you've done! so, spring 2016 has come and gone... summer is nearly to an end as well... so, has life permitted you to continue with the beautiful machine you are crafting?

and just found this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/digitalslrphotos/23413444282

so, told my dad tonight, he was pretty happy to hear about the car and what all has happened to it since he drove it. one interesting thing is that it's listed as 1969 being in Hill's name and Dad drove the car in early '68 because on Jan 1, 1969, he was inducted into the Army. He also told...

thanks... and Jimmy, that is my idea, after I enjoy the car for a bit it will go up for sale to help me towards building a GT40

once you gave me a number, I found that pretty quickly. also found this article about Goodwood that mentions #1070 All 6 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupes Together at Goodwood I'm curious to see dad's reaction when I tell him I've gotten info on the car

So I found this site: https://autooftheday.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/gt40s-chassis-by-chassis/ And it has this information about #1070

AWESOME!!! I have looked up the book and probably will buy myself a copy in the near future.

cool. Originally dad said they "practically drove it off it off the track and headed south" and had to run the driving/parking lights because the head lights were so bright they would melt paint on the cars in front of them. Then when I was asking him last night about it, he mentioned the...

First of all, if this isn't the correct subforum for this, please forgive me... and admin please move it to where it should go... Anyway, I know this is a long shot, but I figured this would be the best place to start. I'm wondering if anyone may know this car. The info that follows is from...

hi, i'm tray... and well, i'm not a GT40 owner but hopefully, maybe one day I will be... for now, I'm a rotary guy. I have a '93 rx7 that recent began the transition into a NA 3-rotor powered car. i'm here because I've again been reminded of my near obsession with GT40s and figured this...
