Boy... déjà vu for me.... Very similar situation/condition as when I bought my DRB back in 2014. Sold it couple years after completion as that was "the plan" when purchased....did ALL the work myself. But I really miss it. Looks to be a good project to take over for the right guy. Coyote is a...

Franky, Very nice build and photo essay you have going on here. My compliments on making it as you like to be yours. I built a DRB project a few years back...it is in here under Mikes DRB 041 build. That project had a specific destiny and it followed the plan. Sold it last year on BaT. Happy...

I know of a ZF 5DS-25-2 here in Oregon that is likely available. Price unknown. A friend of mine has a custom paint and body shop, had a customer with a Lambo kit deal using a ZF. Project got dropped but the ZF is still at the shop. I can probably get owner contact info. I am told it was a good...

Here is mine. DRB S/N 041 347, G50 Colton, Oregon

Believe that picture came from a Howard Jones thread....I used it to help in filling my G50. Also using about 4 liters considering oil line and cooler capacity Howards Link. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/g50-oil-capacity.45179/

Very nice.....will be very "ergonomic" for your build.

I drive my DRB every week or two weather permitting. Sometimes a few days in a row. Hit several cruise-ins or other events each summer. Going to one tomorrow in fact. Every drive has me thinking of next things to tweak or upgrade. Yes, I agree on the new car attraction, and I do have...

Alan, Good to see another 40 will be on the road in our area. Looking forward to seeing it in person at a local event in the upcoming months. World of Speed Cars and Coffee? McMinville Cruise the Gut? I plan to have my DRB at the Sunshine Cruz in Clackamette Park evening of the 15th...

Time for a quick update. I have been running the 40 at least once a week the past couple months. No major issues, just routine tweaks and fine tuning as i get to know her better. latest news: My left foot was starting to wear a bit on the side panel carpet while operating the clutch...

So here are a few pics of my nose repaint. Suffered lower scrapes while exiting a Cruise-in last simmer.....crappy parking lot....and later took a rock underneath while on a drive. Nothing serious structurally, but needed help. A little Fiberglass repair was warranted. DSCN9180 by...

Well past due for an update...but not a WHOLE lot to say. I am in process of re-linking pics after the Photobucket blow off. Couple small things. Having my seats out a few times showed that the pre-existing Rivnuts on back panel were not long lived. Way too easy easy to spin out. I pulled...

On my DRB am running a 9 QT Canton road race pan. One installed, the pan is just a little higher off ground than the frame/belly pans. No hits so far. IMG_3432 by Mike Sirr, on Flickr IMG_2947 by Mike Sirr, on Flickr IMG_2872 by Mike Sirr, on Flickr

I am of the same mind as Cliff/Dave/Mike previously.... Went SB to help keep it compact, light and rev happy, but grew it to a 347 for a few extra cubes. Scat Crank/rods Trick Flow heads Hyd Roller cam ETC... VERY happy with it. Sings real nice up to 6-6.5K. Granted, when I bought my...

Here are few pics of mine......function over beauty, but I like it. IMG_6722 by Mike Sirr, on Flickr IMG_3937 by Mike Sirr, on Flickr DESKTOP IMAGE by Mike Sirr, on Flickr

Finally got around to editing a short video from one of my local "river runs". HD camera works well, but I need a better mic source. Will work on that for future videos. You will see my speedo is not working. The VDO GPS sender has been glitchy and giving me goofy signals before going...

Thanks guys... Hit another cruise in today...lots of admirers. Some even knew what 4WINS meant:thumbsup: Afterwards took a cruise up the river road near my home ...26 miles of twisties up then back down...very few cars.....f***ing awesome drive. Took a video and will try to get it posted...

Long overdue for an update... I got hit with that Photobucket hosting thing, but will start to refresh the blog with new image links. Car has been running well. Hit a few cruise in locally this Summer. Took my supportive wife on a drive to dinner of course... SFGH 2017 VMS by Mike Sirr, on...

Thanks for the contact at Baum Iron. I spoke to them and a cable is being made today. Should arrive Tues/Weds. Will update when it arrives.....

Darrell, Thanks for the info. I will pull the cable tonight and take some measurements. Will do some browsing online to see what local options I may have. later

OK, the plan today was to post a video link of the latest test drive. I did a few short dives on Friday. nothing too major needed addressed. Biggest one was a stuck thermostat...couple hours to swap that out. Saturday took a longer drive and stretched its legs. Was running /driving really...
