At least you're honest, most of us have had a bad experience flocking around... We did some flocking last year and it was very satisfying, a bit messy but that's the price of fun I suppose! It was black on a dash pad, console and trim pieces, worked great however not suitable for constant...

Since Jeff mentioned it and Jim complimented, here's the Avro Arrow. 1959 all weather, multi-mach, interceptor-fighter. Many technologies and materials we take for granted today were made feasible by virtue of the Arrow. Although we Canuks like to claim the plane as our own, it really was the...

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars Good one Jim!

Hi David, I recall reading about the crash test in the picture posted above. The tanks were filled with a non flamible liquid of equal mass. Any idea what that was? Cheers

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars Looking fabulous! What size of tires are they? Cheers

Hi Greg, Please let me echo Docs comments. This is fantastic forum, easily one of the most helpfull and strait shooting on the web. Although the GT40 marketplace alone may not suit your commercial purposes, there are lots of GT40s Forum members who own other extreme cars where there...

Just on a glance, the chassis has about ninety cut and mitered tubes, not counting the front and rear subframes. For the home builder, don't underestimate the amount of time it takes to cut and fit the individual tubes prior to welding. My hat's off to those who've done it. Looks like quite a...

Brian, I agree there have been bad calls in banning some new technologies. About the dynamic wing, I believe there is a place for it. It's also valid technology with real benefits. Just not on a race track... Put these wings on high end road cars, cars that are running in there own...

Hey Damian, don't get me wrong, I think the post is great, just my dry humor on this friggin cold day. Lots of coo coo stuff happens here. I think the ATP has taken over the government. ATP, that's the Alien Tea Party... What's next, a couple of weeks ago the CRTC, the Canadian Radio and...

Thanks for posting, I learn something everyday:) Worth making a copy of, there is a print version provided too. Cheers

Ouch, please put it back:)

What a let down, I thought this thread was going to be something enlightening about getting kit cars into Canada! LOL Not that it matters, just appears to me that for a bunch of old hippies, we're going more right wing conservative than our parents generation and government we rebelled...

Seems like the consensus is with safety over innovation. Not to say any of us (certified Ludite myself included) are against new things. The race car engineers' job is to find advantages within the letter of the rules. After Bruce McLaren and Mark Donohue there weren't many driver/engineers...

The question of dynamic wing speaks to effectiveness and safety. An effective improvement will help you win races though only if yours is more "effective" than the competition, otherwise it's for the "show". No competitive gain is no gain. Make it easier to pass, as in the F Duct you improve the...

Very cool, thanks for posting the link:)

Re: Partially Assembled 1966 Ford GT40 Replica Kit Deadshot, if you buy it and need anything give me a call. Actually same applies to anyone, just happens we're both in Canada... I have complete info on the KVA Type C and all parts in stock from which the Integrity/Sabre was derived. So there...

Something else to consider, since I found out the hard way, keep the thermostat body in place even if you knock out the middle to make it free flow. Most housings and manifolds have a recess machined in to allow for the thermostat stamping and a gasket to complete the seal. I suspect with no...

Hey Cliff, hardly sporting picking on M3s, would have been nice to see the look on his face! Cheers
