If Lee Holman has the dies to stamp out chassis parts, are these dies just for stamping out MKII parts or MKL parts? I was told the MKII chassis is the same as the MKI, but has had sixty four modifications done to it to make it a MKII chassis. Are the dies different for the MKII?

Bill, I believe Mr. White's fist name is Dan. I buy windshields from him. I know windshield shape fits original cars bur I could never keep straight what the other replica GT40 windshields fit. Dan hates to build shipping crates. To build a shipping crate is not easy and takes a bit of time.

Eddie, take some pictures and post them here on the forum. Someone here on the forum will figure out what it is. If you want to know about GT40's , this is the place!

Re: "real" ends where ? Does anyone know about Lee Holman's chassis? Are they Abbey panels tubs, when were they made and how many did he originaly get? Are they given chassis numbers?

Let me throw this into the mix! In 1965 I worked for a company that built race cars and we prepared race cars for drivers. We did most of Sam Posey's cars. I remember when Sam's McLaren MB1 arrived from McLaren Cars from the UK in a large plywood box. I was surprised to find in the box was a...

Andy, Too bad you couldn't slip a mono chassis in with Scott's shipment so we all couls see a chassis in person. Also, what do all the different chassis weigh?

Thanks Ian for the info.

Russ, I guess what I'm asking is, in '68 why would JW pick the MKI 289 to run with instead of the MKII 427. In '67 & '68 there was plenty of knowledge about wide wheels & tires from the CANAM cars. I know the MKII "B" model had a little wider tail, but nothing like the "Gulf" cars

I've always wondered why they didn't put these super wide wheels, tires and "Gulf" style flares on all the MKII GT40's. I know the fenders on the nose of the MKII was changed, but why not the tail?

I haven't seen that in along time! Great movie! I wonder if they got those white jackets from the Shelby team?

Re: A dilemma Nice "flares" !

could this "commom race track stuff" be rolls of duct tape and pop rivets? Held my car together more than once!

Thanks Johan, After reading the link, I feel really bad now!

Johan, What's the chassis number? I came close to buying a T70 back in the early '70's that belonged to a Denis Gilbert chassis 75/124. $ 6500.00 for everything he had; car triler and a new spare TRACO 327 engine. That's all, no other spares. It was an x Donohue car. All the SUNOCO decals were...

Tom, my Cobra Daytona Coupe is painted with the Guardsman Blue. I crossed referenced from Dupont to PPG. Here is the code right off the can. PPG DBC 12832 H Pacific Blue Poly (F) It's a base coat/clear coat system. A one gallon can of the clear was $400.00.

Here in the USA, I use FR-4500 Tooling Board from General Plastics Manufacturing Company in Tacoma, Washington. Polyurethane Foam: General Plastics Manufacturing Company They make many types of foam.

Bill, you know you have a fire in the engine compartment when the shoulder belts become loose! Make sure the fit is tight around the belts where they come through the firwall, I had fire tickling the back of my neck as I blasted down the straight at Lime Rock Race track with an engine fire. I...

Hey Fred, Don't be afraid to use that body filler. When I shaped out the body of the Daytona Coupe for Factory Five Racing, I used 96 gallons of body filler over the foam. Great stuff!!

I think Fran Kress said he just had some made up like the originals.412-441-4275 or 412-441-5750

Hey Earl, Make the engine and the whole back half from the fire wall back "Quick disconnect" so you can install it into your Lola T70 MK3B Coupe. Are you going to start a whole new Build Thread for the Lola. You got to be the only one out there building two cars at once!
