That is not my Coupe but one that factory Five was backing back in 2007. I have been gathering parts for the GT40 and if all goes well should be racing the Daytona Coupe this fall in Limestone Maine in the standing mile and a half. Regards, Mark

Graham, Have you tried Jay Cushman? Regards, Mark

I think he is alive and well as I saw him a month ago at a flea market (parts Jumble to those across the pond) Regards, Mark

Rod, I replied to your message. Brian, You are correct it is in Maine. I've been trying to gather correct parts for it for a few years now. Actually just last night missed out on a pair of seats on Evil bay... If all goes well should be able to start on the project this winter. Regards, Mark

Been running the old 52 chevy for years with only rainX it works for rain but not so well in a light mist or at slow speeds. Just be very cautious. Regards, Mark

Bob, Interested in the 4 hood latches. Regards, Mark

I am still waiting to get time to work on my cars but have purchased a 3 pound lead hammer mold. The hammer takes up less space than a deadblow and is fun to make. And with having a mold when it gets beat up it can just be recast. Regards, Mark

Rod, Check with Jay Cushman (Cushman Competition ) Regards, Mark

Steve, First, Welcome to the forum... I do not have my GT40 done but can tell you that the Daytona coupe is a great traveling car as you can carry a lot of luggage with you verses a GT40 or a Cobra with limited trunk space. Any of them can be built into a great driving car:thumbsup: And most...

Bill Welcome to the forum. From a fellow Factory Five Coupe owner also from Maine..... How was the open house? Regards, Mark Maybury

John, Please do not back off the adjusters on the coilovers as all that will do is lower your car. Are you running 17" wheels? if so a change to 15" wheels would make a tremendous difference in ride quality. My dad's Cobra has 17's and the ride is rough but I have 15's on my Daytona coupe and...

Frank, If you fab up a set of the original style door hinges for a T70mk3b I may be interested in a set as that is one of those items that really has me scratching my head. The continuation cars had a more substantial hinge that looks like half of a stainless steel offset boat locker hinge...

Yes, This gets me to a free weekend!!!!!:2thumbsup: And maybe out of the dog house....as I would have had to miss the Sunday events due to my son's Boy scout troops car show. There is no short cut from Maine to Virginia but I do know to avoid NY city (I-95) One trip through there with the...

Karl, Welcome to the forum. Also, be understanding that some questions are hard to answer with out seeing pictures of the part in detail. Maybe if you posted the question in the motor section you would have gotten a reply? Regards, Mark

John, If you talk with the local speed shop they usually know of a few stock car racers with scales that may be able to help you out. Regards, Mark

Paul, Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have had a long journey with this car. I as well have a project that is in storage waiting for the right time and money to be able to finish it. With the gathering of the GT40's this coming summer hopefully this will get a few people into finishing...

Glad to hear this will be happening. I was wondering if there was to be a 50th reunion. What day will the gathering of the GT40s be on? Regards. Mark

Bob, Bare is the safest bet with those heads as they install very cheap valve train. My step son runs a set of those on his big block powered truck and they make good power for short money. Regards, Mark

I also use a large 6" X 48" belt sander but I remove the table and lay the belt horizontal and sand inline with the plexi glass at a slight taper. Remember sand a little and check often as these machines remove a lot of material in a hurry. The other method I use is a jointer but you need to...

Ron, Welcome to the forum. And on the message you sent me I have the hard top version and I think the door hinges are different. You may want to check with Ron Earp as he has built one of Fran's Lola T70 Spyders. Regards, Mark M
