    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    The body is unmodified from Boris's design, like I said the manifold is just proof of concept at this point. The cutout on over the motor will need to be modified in order to get the rear body open. Bob, I'm going to have to do some research to be able to answer your questions. (I'm glad that...

    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    Made a few changes: I designed the previous filter assembly without thinking about the velocity stacks that would have to be housed within. I made some dimensional changes (a little wider, a little longer, and a little taller) so that there is an appropriate area around the edges and above the...

    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    I have made some progress in the past few weeks that I'd like to share with you all! We ended up back-tracking a little bit with regard to the intake, but for good reason; after diving deeper into the 8 stacks available on the market for the Coyote (Ingeles, InnoV8, Borla, etc.) their design...

    Full CAD Model- 5.0 Coyote Engine

    I can't believe this thread hasn't gotten more traffic. Thank you for making this available! It doesn't surprise me to find the guy responsible for uploading the model on the GT40 forum. It seems that GTs attract our type. :) I have your model in solidworks and am using it to create my own GT...

    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    Thanks, Boris! Did you get those files that I sent you, and did you get them to work ok since we last talked? I am using SolidWorks 2014, what version are you using? I think that may have something to do with your issue. Let me know!

    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    A little progress since the last post. I have done a little more to the frame in the computer, and have mated Boris's new GT body to my chassis. The newest model looks great! As I mentioned in my previous post I originally found a model of the GT40 body on the internet (grabcad.com) and, as it...

    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    I'll take credit where I'm owed it, and give it where it's due. This seems like a great site with a wealth of information, I don't want to disrespect anyone by lying about stuff! Chuck already had the molds, He's not actually positive what car it came off of, he has had the molds for quite a...

    Collins' Custom GT40 MK1 Build

    Hello, everyone! I thought I would start this build thread in order to be able to ask questions with context and keep track of our progress. We will be building two cars. My friend Chuck and I got together a team of really knowledgable guys that are just excited to get a couple of GTs together...

    New Kid in Kansas City

    A small world indeed, Bob! I'm sure that I've met you on more than one occasion. UTA and Jayhawk Motorsports get along well together. I'll check out your build log, I'll take all the ideas that I can get!

    New Kid in Kansas City

    Pictures are a must, I'm aware of this. Don't worry, there will be plenty! :laugh: The chassis for this build will be a tube frame style. I couldn't make the Corvette suspension work with anything traditional being that it was designed with an unequal control arm setup. The body that we have...

    New Kid in Kansas City

    Hello, GT40ers! My name is Collins, my boss Chuck and I are building a couple GT40s here at our company in Kansas City. The forum has helped me quite a bit already, so I thought I would introduce myself and start asking some questions. I'm a Mechanical Engineer, graduated from the University...
