Wow, 427SO and the ZF2! You have two very important things, without a doubt keep the project with the 427! If the goal is to maintain originality, don't hesitate, now if you want to press the accelerator regularly, it is important to see the condition of the block, otherwise it would be the best...

Little by little we are taking certain steps, we are manufacturing pieces with enough detail to be satisfied, a project that gives us more and more pride. Don't pay attention to the gearbox and the engine (R30) that we installed, the idea is to use a ZF box and an engine like the original.

Impeccable work, very ingenious leather upholstery.

Sorry, I wrote the first paragraph in Spanish! I apologize to everyone! I meant... "Sooner or later, after 11 years of working on a replica with my two friends, we have seen changes in the automotive world, which makes us question where we will be standing when we finally finish our project."

Tarde o temprano, después de 11 años de trabajar en una réplica con mis dos amigos, hemos visto cambios en el mundo del automóvil, que nos hace cuestionar dónde estaremos parados cuando al fin terminemos nuestro proyecto. We will hear the sound of our V8 while others are silent with their...

Yesterday we made a big mistake, this week I could not be present at the workshop to give data for the large perforations of the pedalboard, I had to do several personal things and I could not go. My friend decided to move forward, the large perforations were very close, he didn't take into...

That's right, we did it. We are three members of the team, I am in charge of obtaining measurements and making the workshop plans. Several tests were done, a beautiful piece of wood, then a horrible one in cast aluminum, and then this master piece in steel.

We are very proud of this piece, we tried to achieve all the possible details, there was a lot of trial and error.

You are absolutely right, we spend time discussing it, we are in love with the original design, we do not want to get in the way with our unnecessary contributions, we only add this detail only to protect the body.

In my opinion, the beauty of the GT40 is hearing the power of its engine. That is why electrifying an icon like this is lowering it to the level of a Roomba vacuum cleaner. Opening the rear hood of the GT40 and not finding an engine to do mechanical work on is an atrocity. Gt40 without a...

Definitely electrifying a GT40 is sacrilege, lol, an easy way to have a gem.

Today out of curiosity I decided to create a discussion topic on X (Twitter), something funny, but sometimes ideas are born with jokes. 99% of us bet on a GT40 with gasoline, however it is not a bad idea to see how this crazy idea is discussed. I hope you have fun...

We are obsessed with making things like the original GT40, the stainless steel plates as support for the rear hinge, it is the only thing outside our objective, we saw it as something necessary to take care of the body, but we are clear that the rest of the details They will be the closest thing...

Today we decided to contribute something special to the project, we decided to reinforce the rear hinge with two stainless steel plates that fit perfectly in the body, to give additional rigidity to the fiber, then we will manufacture the aluminum hook, the hook to finish building the hinge ...

We are aware that some parts are easier and cheaper to buy, but at this point we enjoy making every detail. We have a work dynamic, where we discuss each part, see images, reason out the logic, and then develop what we want. Maybe we will miss every work process when we finish this dream.

PROJECT GTX TEAM / 2023 Left to Right: Juan Rocha, Landy Pellizzari and Nelson Medina. We are activated again, we are very excited to finish.

Preparing to make drawings of formalettes for the construction of the roof, another difficult challenge, we hope that the GT40s community likes it, we accept with open arms all possible criticisms. Landy, Nelson and me, we try our best to make it equal to an original, we know it's not easy...
