Does anyone have pictures of the front coil-overs with the StanceParts AirLift installed on an RCR GT40? I am told by some they don't fit, I am told by others they have them and they work fine. Don't know if it may have been a singular build issue or if the builders had to make modifications to...

On the face of the Ford BOSS302 block is a 3/8-16 boss, located on the passenger side, below the cylinder head. Most all alternator mounts I've seen use the holes in the head to mount the alternator/bracketry. Any tips on what this boss was used for so I can search out the bracketry associated...

As I await the delivery of my RCR GT40, I am digging into the lessons others have learned/solved. I am researching the front end of a small block: water pump, alternator, A/C compressor. I see all the modern approaches but curious how it was done on the originals. I have not been able to locate...

As I read & search threads in anticipation of my build, I am running across all kinds of suggestions, changes, and Mods. One that caught my eye was the one by Paul Thon and also Rick Merz. They relocated the rollbar from the cockpit to behind the firewall. As I studied this, I've learned RCR...

I have a question for the brain trust - those who have or are using the Icengineworks modeling kit (or clone version) to generate their bundle of snakes exhaust. The Icengineworks kit is designed so that each adapter has a 1" centerline length with the idea you can match your exhaust tube...

Hoping one of the RCR guys can help me with a couple dimensions. Planning an RCR build and doing some preliminary work. The RCR GT40 frame has a spline that runs fore and aft. Can anyone supply me with the ID and OD dimensions of the aluminum tube that makes up this spline? This is a shot of...

Can anyone help me to visualize the difference between the standard MkI and the MkI with 2" flares. I understand how the rear wheel area is enlarged, but I am having trouble trying to identify if a car has the flares or not. Is there something to help easily identify if the flares have been...

Does anyone have a list of differences between the Road and Race versions of the MKI. I see an Ash Tray on the forward console and mention of a clock on the dash, but looking thru the registry, no mention of what the various changes were Anyone?

To those who are building or have built an ActivePower GT40, does anyone have a copy of any manuals, instructions or packing lists they could share with a prospective buyer? Spoke to Todd, the new owner and he says it's something he's working on but is not available yet. Haven't spoken to Chris...

I spoke to Chris Ardern's son today, calling to get info on cars. He told me they sold the company in April to a gentleman in Minnesota named Todd. I saw the site had been relabeled to an address in Minnesota. Did a little Google searching and the address comes up to a gentleman named Todd...

In reading the various threads on this site, I have come across references to space-frame plans by a person called Mike Osbourne (Osborne). There is a current thread referencing the sale of a set of plans and the fiberglass components by a gentleman in Canada that also references this. A quick...

I am curious about the value of the GT40 Enthusiasts Group to someone residing in the USA. My interests are focused on the history and technical aspects of the car. Social events and driving in Great Britain, while interesting, do not fill my cup. Is my $50 annual investment of value? I post it...

I am pursuing a GT40 build, seriously considering doing a replica of one of the 5 roadsters. Tried a site search but most of hits using 'roadster' in the term brought up discussions of the owner's cobra roadster. Not the same. I've built a couple Cobra's and think this might be a fun project...
