    Porsche 917 Replica

    David Morton...you mentioned that a used 917 engine would run $100k. Are there any for sale? Could you direct me to a marketplace for used vintage race parts? I would appreciate any information. I'd love to build something like this. The practicality of it all is what really has me on the...

    Carbon fibre tub??

    Although I agree it is doable the longevity of the tub is suspect over the long haul. A good amount of years down the road mind you, but definitely in a car's lifespan. Structural integrity and such is not to be taken lightly. You need a very talented and experienced engineer with the proper...

    Types of kits

    Had a question about availability of kits. Does anyone make a Mk IV kit? After going to the Historics I must confess that it is my favorite of the bunch. All the kits I've looked at via this site or other enthusiast circles has been of Mk IIs. By the way, thank you all for those who made...

    post-Monterey Historics 2003

    Didn't get to meet anyone but the event in general was fantastic. The one person I had hoped to meet there had left by the time I got there. I did pass by the CAV tent and saw their wares. I should have probably asked for more info or at least sat in the cars they had on display. They seemed...

    Anyone have sea legs?

    Classic boating is awesome. I can't swing it right now. Although I don't have a boat, my dad had two. We sold them and now he's getting a smaller Palmer Johnson. He had two Christensens. Although I love boats I don't know anything about the makes or models. So I'm sure I'm not appreciating...

    Differences between the GT40s

    Cool, I'll look into the books. Now for the next stupid question. Mk-IIs won Le Mans in 1966, right? Then Mk-IV won in 1967? Which model won in 1968 and 1969? What happened to the Mk-IIIs? Cheers

    GT40 Manufacturers List?

    Ron, I'm kind of handy with .html. I'd be glad to compile a list for you as long as someone can populate it for me. Not sure what format you want it in, but a simple list should be a no brainer. Maybe with links and all. Cheers

    GT40 Manufacturers List?

    I'm new here too. Good post. I was wondering the same. If I may add... How faithful to the real thing are they? Are there manufacturers who do things exactly the same as opposed to others who make changes for creature comforts etc? Cheers
