Time for another update, if only to remind myself of where I am up to as its been a few weeks since I have been able to touch the project. As mentioned elsewhere I think I have decided on a prototype to focus on. I was continually finding that I was looking at photos of different cars and...

probably best to start a new thread

Rip Will Wonder. Certainly, some great stories here. @jameswonder I have created a Pinterest collection for GT40 - GT103 chassis (and a few others). There will no doubt be a number of photos of Bill in there. I hope you are doing ok. My dad passed the other year and it still hurts and I miss...

If anyone has a copy of drawing 2042, please get in contact with me.

I’m not sure. White with Blue/red stripe as per ford France was chassis P1003, P1007 and P1020 (currently at Lemans Museum) and Ronnie Spain also lists a few other races that those two drivers races but does not list the chassis number? GT109 Roadster was raced by Ford France at the 65...

They are looking fantastic. I'm about to test fit my face vents shortly. Fingers crossed its ok.

agree, so many little differences across the cars. Early cars vs later cars, road car vs race vs Mirage vs something that was later converted back to a race car, then there is the differences between MK's and crash damage or particular race cars from different owners/teams. A Race car would be...

That may well be the intention. I would need to see photos of the nose structure on the first couple of production cars, as they were still sorting out details of those parts as they went into production. the definitive nose was fist fitted to 1004 or 1005 wasn't it? GT40P/1/2299 - 2300...

I seem to recall noticing that all the MK III stuff was with the XL prefix. That is just a general observation though.

Always welcome here James, good luck in Retirement. Regards Ryan

Does anyone make something like that for the Windsor? Not sure it would be necessary for my application, just a question out of curiosity.

from around 6:30 it shows the installed in the bottom of the block.

I thought it was this car for a second, but its oh so slightly different. https://www.streetmachine.com.au/features/1956-continental-mark-ii The one in the link above recently went to Auction at Burns and Co, so I am not sure where it is now.

They generally need grinding/milling to clear the top of the main caps. They are not just a flat plate.

I don't have one at this point. Sorry

https://www.gt40s.com/attachments/img_0930-jpg.124485/ is that a Mercury or a Lincon you are parked next to?

Adam, I agree with you regarding installing the front two bolt holes. They were angled back but only at an angle that matches the windscreen on the original donor vehicle, this was certainly a lot steeper in rake than found on the GT40. I presume the GT40 dash would be easier to remove than...

Thanks Adam, Maybe I was not clear enough as in reading your answer i now realize that we may be talking about different parts. As you know, I have both a 4 bolt and a 6 bolt grill in my possession. The 4 bolt has two metal tabs, that are attached (spot welded? cant remember) onto the...

Looks great Adam. Are they going to come with the brackets for holding down the front edge as the windscreen? Regards Ryan

They used a similar set up in the later S65 & S85 engines. The S65 V8 looks to have a plastic manifold in place of the metal pipe. I have not looked for pictures of the S85 V10. not sure on the E46 tuning I know they talk about Alpha N when the CSL airbox is added. in terms of engine size...
