I hope to start on the sheet metal on the chassis next month. What is the most common grade and thickness? I see 90%+ rivet but has anyone bond (like Fusor) and rivet to decrease rattle noise? What about bond and screw? Thanks

I have a GTD bare chassis for sale, $6000.00. Located in SC and would prefer buyer pickup and cash in person. I am willing to ship but may holdout for some local enough to pick up.

Since I'm scratch building I'd like some advice on clamshell hinges. I'd like to start aligning body panels. I tried internet searching and there are more replicas than originals. Not that I intend to replicate the originals 100% but I would like to see what the originals look like. I would...

What steering rack to the GTD chassis use? Was it early MGB?

I ran across some more parts and picked them up. Among them was a rear clamshell that is wide like lemans wide, 79+/- inches. But unlike others I've seen, this one has a lip at the wheel well opening. Anyone know what manufacturer had this style and did any original cars have this style?

I am in the USA and I have found a non-GT40 replica in the UK. It's located in Po33 4pa. I just want someone local to confirm it's real and not a scam. I can compensate you for your time. PM if you can help in the next day or so. Thanks

I seem to be collecting more parts than building.... I started this journey by collecting a body, then working on fabricating a chassis, then stopped because I acquired a GTD chassis without any arms. After a few years of networking with folks, I've collected more parts. So the latest...

This is not a solicitation. I'm just trying to determine value. In hunting GT40 parts, I stumbled across a gentlemen with some health issues that was going to enter the GT40 market maybe 10-12 years ago. He has decided to part with his stuff. He used to build custom bikes and fabricate...

I've been gathering parts for a couple of years. I recently acquired some GTD parts and the interior parts have a leather/vinyl texture in the gel coat. Does anyone know the reason or background to this?

Since I'm based in the US, I'm looking at Vintage and Trigo for wheels. I have used the Trigo in the past on a Cobra. The Vintage BR are 15x8 and 15x10 with 4 inch backspace. The Trigo are 1/2 inch narrower on both with a 3.6 inch backspace. I'd like to hear comments on those sizes and...

I posted recently that I acquired a windshield that was for a GTD car. When I bought the windshield the guy gave me some doors, rockers and roof spider. He reached back out to me and says he has some other GTD stuff. I'm not that familiar with GTD. I know they are no longer around. Can...

I have a roof spider that is supposed to be a splash of the original. I got it from Jay Cushman. I have a chance to pick up a GTD/GT Developments windshield for a pretty good price. Does anyone know if the GTD windshield was accurate to the original?

I posted before about the body I have, it's very close to original specs. I had planned on building a chassis from scratch but time has not been on my side. I did a little research and it looks like Chris Arden with Arden Cars/Active power will sell just a chassis, as will the following...

The title kind of says it all. What are you using for oil pan for 302? I have a 67 302 out of a mustang and the stock oil pan is pretty deep. Just researching what others have done.. Thanks

Folks, What are you using for front accessory drive brackets? I'm trying to scour around for my options. I'll be running an alternator and A/C compressor.

Guys, researching door hinges. With so many replicas, it's become difficult to internet search pics. LOL. What do original door hinges look like? AND is there a better design door hinge out there if the originals have shortcomings? I mean the GT40 was a race car, I'm building a street car...

Guys, Can anyone point me in a direction for a windshield in the USA. My roof is a copy of original. I tried Jay Cushman but he seems to be out of them. Thanks, Bart

What are some good sources for Halibrand and BRM "Style" rims in the US? I am thinking about building my chassis. I really need something with 5 on 4.75 pattern. Image in the UK has a number of good looking options but would like to avoid international shipping...... Thanks!!

I know the purest are running twin tanks in the rockers per original. What have others done? Is anyone running a single fuel cell? What size and where did you mount it? Thanks, Bart

Well I have collected the body parts including front and rear clips and nostral panel that were used in P1027 as spares to preserve the originals. I also have door spares that were with that car but never used. Jay Cushman has helped me fill in the blanks with nice rockers and roof spider. I'm...
