    Isdera Erator looks like a GT40

    Very nice,probably more expensive than an original 40... I also think it has design elements of several cars. The door/window line reminds me of a Lambo Muira. I also couldn't help but notice that muffler....DAMN. It was either very quiet or had the biggest collector I have ever seen.

    Ford GT90, why build when you can buy!

    You can put me down for the fugly also. Didn't think it was attractive then and age hasn't helped. I agree that ugly girls need loving too, but they usually don't carry that kind of price tag. Plus you don't have to look at it over and over again, of course they say your vision gets worse as...

    Snap-On tools are for fools

    A few years ago a customer brought their touring bike to me after having someone else rebuild the front forks. Normally the bike would be pretty wallowy,it is a touring bike, but the front end was absolutely ridgid. He was a longtime customer that searched for another wrench when I started...

    Original Halibrand GT40 wheels on E-bay

    While in the body of the text he references GT40, I noticed in the listing there are several vehicles, including Cobra,listed. I am no authority, by any means, but those appear to be Cobra wheels to me.

    Cav#131

    I have to agree with the consensus, it's a beautiful car. I ask a more mundane question than some...I also noticed the original date of the thread start. It was my understanding that CAV built vehicles much like the SPF ones...complete minus engine and transaxle..turnkey minus. Are they supplied...

    Poll - Does man contribute to global temperature increases?

    I have long wondered WHY the environmentalist are only concerned with OUR environment. They could care less if we contaminate any number of places as we get oil from afar and transport it to the ships and transport it across the oceans and then unload it here...only to be transported one more...

    Snap-On tools are for fools

    We were required to inventory our tool bag prior to signing off. That was in the early 70's, not sure if they still do.

    Blue and Orange - A recent Fortyfication Article by Sam Cork

    First, as a patent holder I know that a patent can only be exercised when the patented item is being manufactured for $$$. I can not apply it to individuals that may want to duplicate it for themselves. I would have to believe that the paint schemes would fall into that. My opinion,not worth...

    Planning a generic build

    I was going to ask until I saw this post. I thought it looked like a Kellison. I have 2 complete ones. One I am refurbishing for sale and the other I am going to do a custom build. I am currently leaning toward a Valkyrie MC engine to power it. Although I do have 3 GL1000 engines, I might pair 2...

    Poll - Does man contribute to global temperature increases?

    I guess for my post I acknowledge that the earth is warming, but that doesn't mean I think it will continue to warm. I don't. I fall in to that category that believes that the earth goes through cycles. Warming...cooling...warming...cooling. I think mankind is so infatuated with itself they...

    Poll - Does man contribute to global temperature increases?

    I think what little man contributes is minimalized by any number of earth's own activities. One volcanic eruption, spews more in the environment than man has contributed in decades. And volcanoes erupt several times a year, many under the ocean. I have been "green" since the early 60s. I have...

    rolldown side windows

    In Ford drag cars(lightweights) of the early 60s, they used seatbelts to raise and lower the window. Cut out a bunch of mechanism weight and seemed to have an ideal raising/lowering system. If you are wanting workable windows, that may be a way to simplify it as well as not add an excess amount...

    Has anyone gone through custom vehicle title in Illinois?

    Since it is a state category that hadn't changed much when I looked it over a few months ago, I find that unbelievable. I'd guess the location listed on your avatar has more to do with it. It was as simple as any other vehicle I have registered. I did take a print out of the State ordinance with...

    Swan or Ugly Duckling?

    I'd have to be split. It is a lot better looking than the Smart car, but as mentioned...not my taste. If it was a Fiat, it would probably cost about what it's worth. Loved the R5, but I'd like to get a SHOgun. I haven't seen a heads up competition, but I'd have to bet that the SHOgun would...

    RCR's Next car should be.....

    AMEN! You also have to consider that most Americans( you know) want power windows,electric seats and A/C plus video and who knows what else. Personally I doubt that EV's will ever be acceptable until the buyers realize that TANSTAAFL (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch).

    rolldown side windows

    In an older GT40 book that references the original and some later versions, including 1 replica. The Sbarro car is shown and the power windows on that look pretty slick. They are short (in length) because of the front "vent"? and a rear section that is solid but probably retains the rear window...
