    Does anyone know a good auto transporter?

    BE Careful. Listen to all the information that was given above! Don't go "cheap"! You will be very sorry. They will take your money and put you on a list for carriers to pick up according to your dollar amount the broker set to get your business. Then you wait for a hungry hauler to take the...

    VIN Plates

    contact Lynn Minor @ [email protected] . He makes a factory original type GT40 vin plate in two sizes. It comes in a "like new" black background, or a faded finish background that has a faded black sun bleached look, with a purple hue to it, appearing to look like it is 45 years old.

    Hose weepage from brake and clutch fluid cannisters

    I went up and down on the sizes of the o-rings at the top cap neck and finally wrapped the ring base with tefflon tape to stop the seapage there. I double clamped the hose ends. The cap area has been dry for 4 years now. The hoses are showing slight weapage again, after 4 years.( SPF Daytona Coupe)

    Alloy vs Steel shocks

    Is this weight savings for racing? For street use my question is durability/strength like when you dodge that pot hole but still catch the edge. "Bang" and the top of the main shaft snaps off.

    SPF GT40 Genesis

    From what I recall of the coments from Peter Brock, the vertical arc from the bottom window edge to the bottom of the door was incorrect. As well as the top surface curvachure of the front fender over the wheel opening. This was on the GT40 MkII not the Daytona coupe. And as far as build quality...

    I have some photos of this car when Tom first got it taken at Seattle Int'l Raceways (now Pacific Raceways again) It was in 1991. The car was in "track used" condition as it was being driven hard and often then. It didn't have all the bling exhaust and fixtures, just painted black bundle and...

    How fast a GT can go?

    In some of the filmed interviews with drivers at LeMans, I remember Jackie Ikxx stating they were reaching 240 mph down the straight! I know "the older I get", "the faster I was". But this was filmed in 1969 at the track. This film is avalible to watch on this site. I remember a Ford Motor Co...

    Cost of engines

    also consider the fact that G.M. small blocks and high performance parts are availible just about anywhere so the prices are less, I've seen overhaul kits at Safeway and 7-11 quick marts before! (just kidding) The range of different after-market suppliers is endless for G.M. verses Ford small...
