have seen ics of of factory GT40s having floor plans replaced due to rust. are SPF gt40s immune to this malady? are SPF GT40 "rust proofed?" SPF2116

no mention of using T44. i plan on using existing RBT 5 spd. no mention of horseshoe. i'll talk to kim again. SPF2116.

just wondering, mind you, just wondering about installing my H& M '67 side oiler 427 in my SPF GT40 Mk2 replacing the Roush 427. talked to Lee Holman once about doing this. he said had to modify firewall for FE water pump, use different rear uprights (did'nt say why and i did'nt ask). said...

i am thinking, mind you, just thinking, of puttimg my genuine 1967 Ford 427 Side Oilier (0.10 over) in my SPF P2116, replacing the Roush 427.talked to Lee Holman who did that once. told me they had to replace rear uprights (did not tell me why) had to modidfy dfirewall dfor FE waterpump, and...

noticed this myself. hard to shift so bought Olthoff shifter thing. no difference. so i'll try different hole as noted above. maybe its a matter of leverage. hard shifting or not the car is still a joy to drive. especially 101 to 118 to 405 to 14 to Willow Springs. has anyone tried adding...

i'm pretty sure clutch is slipping. on previous drives i noticed some slippage. as to my last post, i forgot t mention about changing a clutch. while working at Holman Moody in '72 i worked on the Pantera program. i worked in engine bay of 225 Panteras (all alone) removing axle shafts...

back in the day i would not have asked for help. today is different story. i would have bought Metric wrenches and sockets enough to do the job. i have a few but need more. today is a different day. i have changed engines. Flatheads to Ford 332 to 427 side oilers, clutches from '48 Fords to...

i'm pretty sure my SPF P2116 needs a new clutch. talked to previous owner and nothing from him. so, i'm asking , is there a standard clutch used in '40s? is there a smaller diameter flywheel used, therefore a smaller dia. clutch for ground clearance? i know how things work on a '32 Ford roadster...

sitting inside car door is latching but door has about 1/4 inch play. tried many times to eliminate play by 1/32 or 1/64th at a time but cannot. just a very fine line to be found. not gonna quit. i'll find the place. son Eric said when we left "Neptunes Net" and i wound out in 2nd and 3rd gear...

having a hard time adjusting door latches on my SPF 2116. spent many hours and my mechanic spent some too. thought i had it solved and then Fri. my son and i drove to Neptunes Net in Malibu for Pattie Melts and on way home drivers door kept opening at speed and a couple of scary times in a right...

no worry there. would not want to bruise what's inside the bra.

hey Walter Williams. i have seen where a bra wears on the paint but ...are you ready? wait for it... i planned on "PADDING THE BRA", with pads of felt.

does anyone know who makes a bra for a GT40?

i agree. i have seen FGT mentioned a few times here. what does it stand for?

probably not. no way i could drive that far by myself and i rely heavily on my son to share drives with me and he cant get that much time off from work and it's even doubtful for Vegas. anyway i'm still gonna be at Edelbrock's on May 5. and Petersen's next time car show.

i am interested in attending depending on my health. dont do well in heat. at all. early or late, but not in the middle. and, i hope you all remember Vegas has flash floods. i'm thinking the Petersen museum in L.A. 3 levels of parking. and the museum owns a Mk3 and a 2005/2006. or the upcoming...

353 on original speedo, 5730 on GPS speedo. on my previous post, i believe that white Corvette was drafting on me. to that gent who lives in Canyon Lake . how 'bout coming to the Edlbrock Car show in Torrance May 5 and bring your buddy along. that will make 3 of us. i know there will be a crowd...

Well, it takes me a minute to climb out and many people have observed that and commented and i reply "the rest of the the ride makes up for it." I'm 85 going on 86 in March. The only place i dont drive the '40 is to the grocery store. Signed up for the Edelbrock car show for Sat. May5 in...

so many people have commented on my towing my Mk2. so as i have explained before . i towed it once to my mechanic. 13 miles. i dont intend to tow it unless i break it at Willow Springs. Butfoy and Olthoff have both said it's ok. got a sturdy tow bar, sturdy chain and lights. i have towed cars...

i would like to know how many SPF GT40s, or any other GT40s, there are in Southern California. I live in Oxnard, Ventura County and would like to meet other '40 owners. i have seen a MK3 (owned by the Petersen Museum) at Willow Springs a number of years ago, a gennie MK1 at Willow owned by a...
