"spelled" actually

doug, if you really want a Daytona or GT40, I would start with one of those. Keep in mind that building cars is really not that difficult, especially in the internet age (advise is a minute away) you just break them down into segments and do not let the whole picture scare you. It will take a...

I have tried, it does not seem to want me to

I am pretty sure the accepted advice from experts is not to have an exposed cage in a street car unless you wear a helmet. I do not see one doing much except in a roll over situation anyway.

actually I built the Kirkham first and then bought my CAV from a guy here on the forum. The SPF Daytona was a spur of the moment sort of thing and it was a running car also. I then bought the SPF MK11. It got pretty crowded in my garage for a while. I have since sold the cobra, Daytona and the...

I have been fortunate enough to have all 3 at the same time, a GT40MKI, Kirkham cobra and an SPF Daytona, and while it may seem a worthy goal, the reality is you can only drive them one at a time. I would suggest enjoying the cobra and then selling it, build a GT40 and do the same, then a...

probably 1/4 inch black foam weatherstripping

rear view cameras are not a substitute for mirrors, they are helpful ,especially in parking lot backup situations. Your depth of field is very limited with a camera so a mirrors is still needed in my opinion. GT40s, especially MK11s are a challenge, to say the least, in traffic. I would highly...

to be honest, My CAV came with a 375 hp motor, and then I got the SPF with the 427 roush and 550hp. I am now putting in a 475hp motor in the CAV. It is hard to go back once you have driven the big engine cars. I would not put less than 450hp in your car

that motor Tim pointed out is a beast

great product Chris, how much? I will definitly need a set. chuck

Grady, I use the arms also, crossing over left to right, ect.

plugging all theholes in the front of the chassis will help with water intrusion, however, 90 percent of it comes in through the front of the doors as it runs off the cowl down the door hinge area. This is very difficult to fix in an SPF car due to the door shape. good luck

aside from the advantages of aluminum weight wise, I think the reason many builders use aluminum is significant cost savings associated with CNC milling of billet aluminum. If you have the equipment, a CNC machine can produce a very accurate , strong unit with little labor. In your case, it...

I spent a weekend at the AMG driving school in Miami a few weeks ago and drove all the AMG cars including the SLK. We were told that the traction control could not be shut off and they advised us to leave the ESP on, but the slightest drift and it cut on, slowing your progress substantially...

pretty sure you just push the weather stripping down and unscrew the brow. I gently heated up my cars brows and turned the leading edge lip up a little, this allowed the door to close and not catch the lip. Olthoff sell some aluminum ones that are put on with double sided tape, not sure how...

and to think, all this time we have been speculating on which one is best and it was right under our noses all the time. thank you Gelco

I sent Chris a template from my MK11 and he made up the roundell, I never put mine on, I am glad it looks so good.

I can assure you that no one here takes pride in your bad situation, regardless of past bad feelings. good luck with the sale

it is certainly a good deal based on the original price, but a used car with motor and transaxle can still be had for less than you could put this one together for. Car prices are down, but trannys and motors are priced like they were a year ago.
