Scott, are you going to build the GT as is or put some of your own modifications to it? I find that personal mods slow down the build with most kits.

Great idea Eric! LOL! Poor Scott ! You can do it Scott !

OK Eric , I'll bite ! What meet is that at Lime Rock?

Steve, I sent you a PM

Denis, is that the correct phone number? I called and the person said it's the wrong number.

James, You might try; [email protected] Bill Hough

Bill, see if you can get a sign maker to lend a roll to you. A roll of VHB is not cheap! Sign makers that use a lot of plastic use VHB tape.

Urs, What type of core material are you using?

Steve, Come on down to my shop and I'll show the parts and how they go together. I have a MKII tail sitting right here now. Give me a call at 781-659-1404 Bill

Nice RV Marcus!!!

Fred/Belgium, Yes! I guess everyone is calling the "Goodyear" driving suit the "Gulf" driving suit now-a-days. I would venture a guess that the Hinchman co. in Indianapolis, Indians USA made all the "Goodyear" suits back then. I think if you were a pro driver racing in a pro series, Goodyear...

I wish I could get into my suit. If I remember correctly, I bought my suit from the Hinchman Co. Indianapolis, Indiana back in 1971. You would just order the "Goodyear" suit. It seemed everyone wore them. It was a one piece, one layer for $150.00 USD, I used two layers of Nomex underware with...

What really has my curiousity up, is what would a properly designed GT40 mono carbon fiber chassis look like?

Randy, I'll pass! I used to use the CF mat when I was building rowing shells. I haven't had a use for it since 1982. I got plenty of Kevlar style #285 twill that I can't find a use for also. I don't dare sell it. If I do sell it, that's when I'll need it. Pretty tough stuff to cut. Try...

Miles & Urs, I've benn thinking on doing a GT40 roof just exactly like you described. Using a core to make the roor would or should cure the problem of the roof sagging down on conposite GT40 roof. I use a flexible foam core material that would work really well. I have plenty of honey comb...

I get requests now and then asking if I could make a GT40 body in carbon fiber. When I work up a price, that's the end of it! The price doesn't justify the weight savings to most people. The trouble FFR had and as do all fiberglass fabricatores using a "wet layup" system, the material is black...

Johan, Isn't Fran Kress's MKIIB a 1047 chassis also? He just sold it to someone in Japan, Here we go again, another MKIIB in Japan.

Steve, I would double check anything and everything Brian Wolf has done. I've had some dealings with him. A long story! A total wast of time! Email me if you like at; datonabill at msn dot com

Those pictures bring me back to the early sixties. I saw them race at Watkins Glen.

Chris, how about a Mendeola SDR-5, $10950.00 There is a nice story in the latest issue of Kit Car Builder. They claim first deliveries this coming spring.
