Freedom!!! After a long hiatus of not being able to post in my own build thread (or the rest of the site) that was originally in the SLC Clubhouse, I finally mentioned something to one of the general GT40 mods, and they were able to move it to this section and get away from the censorship by...

Thanks Ken! Knocking out a few projects on my other cars right now, but back on the SLC soon.

Thanks David. The tape lines are tracing out ideas, so ya, possible future cuts. With all of my radiator and a/c lines down low, I can cut that outline out, recess the area about 4" before running into anything like door latches, hinges, or anything else. It would taper starting at about 2"...

Thanks Mike

Since garage is cleaned out, I can get a little better perspective on the car, especially the profile. I really like the new profile lines of the spine, so it is staying, just need to get to making it out of fg and not pink foam.

I also used a roll over ball vent. But, I installed a spring so that there was very minimal (like a few ounces) seat pressure, keeping it constantly closed. Expansion can still be taken out in the rubber filler neck (which would be minimal anyways), and low pressure from the tank emptying will...

Ya, I had 10 years of dust build up, old paints, extra building materials stuffed in every corner. I could only fit the SLC in a 3 car garage. Now, I can actually pull in 2 more cars! Only problem is, now I started looking at the front of one of my cars, and am fed up with all of the rock chips...

Nothing lately. I did just spend 9 days cleaning garage though, and getting ready to get going again. Amazing how a nice clean work area can boost your spirits!

Thanks for the compliment Ken.

Just take the ticket. $124 once a year is worth it. Not a moving violation so insurance not effected. That said, I have been pulled over quite a few times for not having one in other cars, and I just say "I am on it, just havn't had time" and it usually ends in a warning. They typically just...

It should be fully cured. Sitting in garage over the summer should take care of any major movements. None of my glass work has a gelcoat either, so no chance of bubbles or resin only corners. Paint is cheap, and I already have most everything I need to paint it, minus deciding on the actual...

Really been working a lot. Spending all of my extra time learning a new trade right now, that will hopefully allow me to semi retire and work from home. So ya, busy with life and trying to spend my time lately with things that make money, instead of things that cost money. Lol. Work before...

I agree with everything, and i will also be adding 4 naca ducts under the car at beginning of engine compartment to blow on turbos and front of motor. It may bring in more dirt though, so atleast use some type of screen. For the fuel system, I used 2 pumps. Only one pump runs during normal...

Fuel injection should take all of the low rpm issues out of a big cam if tuned correctly. Low vacuum is not an issue since fuel is being injected and not have to be drawn in like a carb. Typically what it is, is the area between 5%, and 0% throttle position. You must match this perfectly...

I have been using pb for about 10 years and have never paid a dime. They have told me many times over the years I surpassed the limit, but they just keep adding more space anyways. Hopefully you can get the pic thing figured out, curious to see the progress.

Thanks Randy.

Here is a couple bad pics of the spread tow cf. Really good looking stuff in a 3/8"x3/8" pattern. Had to redo the headlights abit. The high beams that match my low beams, were not the same size as the low beams! Even listed on Hellas site it is incorrect. So I originally built the headlights...

Good for soup too.

Not much happening the last few months. Work has needed all of my attention lately. Got some spread tow cf fabric, nearly enough to do the entire body, and started wrapping stuff, and there was a prob with the resin. Ugh. Havn't gotten back into it. Once it cools off a little, and my work...

Thanks Justin. Finally have the rear wing supports nearly finished. They stared as 1/16" alum sheet as cores, and have bonded in studs for hidden fastening. The thickness varies through the part. Fiberglass was applied in varying layers, 3/8" thick at top, to 3/4" thick near the base where...
