Bob: Here is a picture of the CAV fuel cell cavity. The problem associated with getting it in and out that Veek discussed has to do with the square tube bracing seen at the top of the cavity. The cell fits fine into the cavity, but the two 1.5" raised bungs at the rear are to tall. Seen from...

Hi all: I know how entertained I've been over the past months by most of the pictures that have been posted here. While I don't have the talent to build a 40....my engine builder and friend of the past 30 years would fit right in with some of the artistic work shown by members of this forum...

In the 60s I fell in love with the GT40 shape because of a car built in a local garage in the Philadelphia suburbs. One of the top guys in the garage built it for himself. It was outrageous, and we found every excuse to go over to this little performance shop to hang around the car. It was a V8...

Well... My first day with an E-mail address so I could join this great forum... My first attempt to communicate on line, thanks to the neighbor's teenager who just left... So I'll try for something simple like letting you guys know that my CAV will be on the road in ten days, and then it's...
