Hey there everyone, I’ve done my basic alignment using a Hunter system and have quite a bit of experience doing them. What I am essentially looking for is a discussion or experience comments on the specs you used (mostly for street use) and tire wear. If you have an Active Power chassis, even...

For those that have tried different side mirrors and ways to “check 6”…what are your thoughts on maybe using an aircraft canopy mirror just inside the side window on the door A pillar? Being a military pilot, I know they are of limited use but would help just to check that blind spot before...

Looking for what oil type and weight folks are using in their 427FE side oiler. Mine runs great oil pressure 40psi+ when cold but about 5psi at idle when hot (comes up to 15-20psi at speed & increasing RPMs). With an oil change due and hot Texas summers approaching, I want a better oil...

For those Corvette experts here, I’m realizing that due to the design of the rotors and brake calipers that my 17” wheel options are even more limited and challenging. I had originally planned to use the Wilwood SLC56 front and DPC56 rear brake kits which has a caliper overhang of 1.45 inches...

New - never installed Aviaid 6.5” deep wet sump road race oil pan for 351W (#55363). My loss is your gain. Changed my plans so won’t be using this one…comes with the oil pickup tube as well. Asking $550 shipping included (US only). Will send back to manufacture by the end of next week if it...

Hey Y’all (West Texas lingo for “everyone”) Long time lurker/dreamer/collector of various parts here. I’m finally at that stage in life where I had to commit to getting started on this adventure or move on to other life goals & priorities. My experience over the last 35+ years has been...

Question to all those that have built, own or are building a C5 based suspension or Active Power GT40 I’m scratch building my 40 based off the AP chassis design but with modifications for the various body parts I’ve collected over the years. You all and this forum have been a great motivation...

Just a question to all you Active Power builders out there (complete or not). I’ve searched the build threads and only found a couple of possible answers but not a complete one. What steering rack and tie rod ends are you using for your builds (C5/6 front uprights)? (Part #s appreciated if...

Looking for GT40 MK1 289/302 Exhaust, prefer located in US due to cost of shipping but will consider others. I’m mating to a 986 transaxle so any Audi based or similar design should work. New/good shape used in either 1 5/8- 1 3/4” & with/without mufflers doesn’t matter as I’m building a...

I’ve got a rear clamshell of unknown origin (maybe KVA?) that needs some trimming to mate with the rear profile of the spider/roof. Can those of you that have completed cars or completed your final body fitting tell me what the dimension is from the clamshell edge to the rear glass flange...

Any one have any info on this transaxle?? Too rare to deal with in a replica? Ebay T50

FFR\'s New GTM I'm a current cobra owner and have been lurking here for over a year and trying to learn as much as I can about GT-40s for my build sometime in the future. Being a FFR customer, I have been also keeping an eye on their newest project/soon-to-be kit...the GTM. They just...

I thought I would post this as a possible event for our GT-40 bothers out there to attend. One or two GT-40s have attended in past years and are most certainly welcome! Here is the press release details: The Texas Cobra Club (TCC) celebrates the spirit of the Shelby Cobra by sharing a passion...
