Just left Fran's place an hour ago. Got a personal tour of the factory with my brother-in-law and it was very much appreciated. Fran took time out of his busy schedule to talk cars and motorcycles for an hour or so when he has other business he could attend to, so that get's a huge thumbs up in...

I am selling my Gurney Westlake Valve covers which I had purchased from Chris Melia on this site. Will fit small block Ford. I was going to put them on a 289. Think I'm done with cars for a while. $225 for the pair. Located in Bremen, Ohio

Since I sold my car last year I am selling my Webber setup that I was going to install on my 289 Ford. I ordered the carb/manifold from Racetep and am asking $2900. It comes with the tuning manual, flow meter, jetting kit, and is still packed in it's original box with packing. Quickest way to...

I'm selling my GT40 project. Busniess changes for me over the last few years, and a build a bit more difficult than I had hoped, plus a wife asking for a Chrismas gift of listing the car for sale has put me here. I bought the deluxe kit from MDA with everything needed to complete the build...

First off, let me say that I've got one of the first Series 1 MDA GT40's out there. I don't see any glaring quality issues with the car, seems to be built well, as well as most out there. I'm sure there are some better, and some worse, but for the most part, a solid car. Something to consider...

Advice needed from the Pro\'s O.K. I didn't know where to post this, as it would fit in several locations, but, I remember reading somewhere that a few of you mentioned wishing you had done most of the body fitting first before starting all of the paneling and such. Any advice on this. I'm...

O.K. so its not a photo of the car. I'm building a windscreen closet to protect them (I've got two boys ages 4 and 6) from breakage, and I've been wanting to get the chassis stands finished before unlaoding the car from the trailer. Closet's half done, and stands are now ready. They turned out...

Well, things just keep getting better. I just found out today that in addition to my regular MDA, I also recieved for no additional cost, a complete turnkey along with it. Jim

O.K. my baby is born. I knew it would show up sooner or later. I already took her for a spin, (in my mind anyway) and she handles GREAT. Motor runs and sounds good too. I am WWAAAAYYYY stoked now. Of course the bodywork that will be needed to prep it for paint looks daunting, but I'll learn...

YAHOO!, My baby girl has passed US customs, is on a truck, and will be home Monday afteroon. It's been a true test of patience. Jim Downard

Well, Things have really hit rock bottom over at clubcobra.com. The Double Venom Spring Fling has been handed over to the Lake Snakes Cobra Club to organize, and now a few members of the Ohio Cobra Club are trying to organize their own Cobra event in London, OH (same location as last 4 DVSF's)...

Is it just me, or does it appear that the GT40 market is getting ready to explode. I build a Cobra 10 years ago, and at the time there weren't very many around. Now they're everywhere. Are we going to see the same thing happening now. I began looking into the GT40 about 2 1/2 years ago. Now...

It\'s close Well, I just got word today that my car has cleared customs in Norfolk, and that the shipping agent will be pulling the container today or tomorrow to prep it for truck shipment to Ohio. I could very well be here by next week (although my wife and I are taking the kids to Great...

I thought there was a place here to test posting a picture. I couldn't find it tonight. Please forgive the off topic photo. Jim

Not that this post belongs around here, but while waiting on my MDA to arrive, I've pondered the thought of a Porshce 906 build. Does anyone make a 906 kit in either stripped down kit form or rolling chasis. From the front it looks a little like a MK IV GT40. Appreciate the assistance. Jim

Has anyone over there in the U.K. seen Mark Sibley of MDA in the last month. I've got one of his Mk I's coming to the U.S. and it should be either on the boat right now or in U.S. Customes hands as I speak. I've been trying to touch base with him about some shipping details and for the last...

Just a brain picker for all. I recently saw a Ferrari 360 Modena close to my home here in southeastern Ohio and began to wonder about the result of a possible tangle between the Ferrari and a well built up GT40 in road/race trim. Take my build for example. AP 4 piston brakes all around...

I've checked the search feature and found nothing. Does anyone know what the US Customs duty rates are, or where they can be found. Mark Sibley of MDA has asked me how I want the US Customs title of goods listed for import duties. Part or Component package. He gave me examples of Parts in...

Does anyone out there know if the T-44 is still in production. I'm thinking ahead for a second GT40 MkII as a future build with an FE motor.
