OK, I am now seeing many "scratch" builders who, it appears, are building their GT 40s from the ground up. Looks to me that if you have the proper welding skills, jigs, etc..., that this might be the cheapest way to go (initially). I'd love to be able to buy a CAV, Tornado, RCR kit, but due to...

OK, who drove their silver MKII down Main St. in Laurens, SC about 4:30ish Saturday, March 20?

I hope this is the right place to post this: The Kiwi Scratch build has got me eager to do a GT40. What I'd like to ask is what would be the minimum shop set up required and the same for tools/equipment. I have a two bay garage, compressor, a decent set of Craftsman tools - (all drives and...

First off, let me thank Grady Wilson for inviting us up to Asheville to take a ride in his MkII. Like I said, the folks on this GT40 website are the nicest and most cordial of any forum I've ever participated in. He was most helpful and answered all of my questions. His wife was very nice to...

OK, this is what I need in my stable: (1) GT40 MkI - CAV; (2) T70 MkIIIb; (3) 917; (4) 2D.

My wife an I drove up to Raleigh this weekend to look at a CAV GT40. We spent the night there friday night and got up saturday morning and drove over to CAV America, where we were met by Johann. He took us into the building where the GT40 was living. As we entered the sacred room where the...

Since I'm new to this forum, I have been weighing the differences among what suppliers offer far as body and chassis are concerned, and have actually narrowed it down with the input I've received from these forums. My next question will revolve around engines. I can get a hold of just about...

OK, I've received a tremendous amount of information from everyone on the page and also the vendors. They've been very helpful. I guess my last question here would be: In the opinion of those who know the GT40, which kit do you feel is the closest to the original MK I. Basically, the chassis...

Well, I'm getting closer to my GT 40 Commitment. I've pretty much decided on a R/H drive Mk I with the twin hood intakes (as opposed to the single). I live in the U.S. (South Carolina - Buckle of the Bible Belt, to be exact) and I think I'd like something as close to home as possible. I don't...

Well, I think I'm about ready to start looking. I've visited RCR, Tornado, and CAV websites. I hope I'm not rehashing old posts and if I am, someone please direct me to the previous posts, but I'm looking for the proper kit. I'm going to start with chasis and body first, then purchase other...

It just dawned on me; I'm 6' tall. Am I going to have trouble fitting int a GT 40? Thanks

Hey guys, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that I saw on one of the sights - I think it was Tornado, but I could be wrong, but a Chasis and body can be had for under $10K. Did I read that wrong or am I reading it wrong thing. I know that's only a small part of building a GT 40...

OK, I'm sure this question has been beat to death, especially by us newbies, but I've got to ask it; How much money would I be looking at for a Body, Frame, and Dash. I'd do cabling, wiring, wheels, brakes, engine, instruments, etc... later on. I realize different suppliers will charge...

I'm a fan of the GT-40 and hope to own one. Right now I've got a Lotus that I'm trying to squeeze some more speed out out of. I also like the Porsche 917. My other interests are amatuer radio, guitar, SCUBA diving, and bicycling. I also have a 1993 Harley Davidson FXLR that I like to take up...
