Number 12 was Larry Kishel’s build, I believe painted by Allan. Here is his build thread… https://www.gt40s.com/threads/fat-larrys-gtr-build.52555/ The Gulf livery I believe is Dean Lampe’s build https://www.gt40s.com/threads/deans-gt-r-build-thread.47686/

Awesome work Mark, beautifully integrated into the front clam.

I figured this may be useful to other builders if your lower chassis pans are warped like mine. The driver’s side of the lower chassis pan was warped probably due to welding. I wanted to straighten it out as best I could before I do the final install of the cooling tubes. Pic of the gap between...

Before the fuel filler neck could be mounted to the rear bulkhead, the top of the spider needed to be locked down. Also, In previous posts I already set ride height and centered the wheels in the wheel wells so it’s a good time to locate the mounting points for the spider. Planning to mount...

This post covers connecting the door latch bell crank to the interior and exterior door handles. This is the last step in finishing the door locks and handles. This is the functionality I wanted to build into the system: 1)Design a flexible linkage so when opening the doors with the interior...

Wow, what a power plant Brian.

I would agree with that, the pics look very random. The photo of the gt40 seats remind me of similar photos of a recent scam on GT40s. I may be mistaken, but that is what I thought of. I downloaded a few pics to see if there was any info attached to them but no. Definitely speak to some FF...

I would check with the Factory 5 forum guys. Looks like he is selling cobra dash kits, door panels, and lots of seats that most factory five customers don’t use so could be legit. Appears to be more of a hobbyist trying to make a few bucks wiring up dashboards in his kitchen. Also, from what I...

Best wishes on your health Brian. You do a great job here on the forum and hope you get to enjoy the toys you’ve ordered!

Awesome mega update Hector. So many nice touches on your SLC.

Scott, my calipers were shipped in the GM box brand new and those connecting tubes were already installed. Worst case, should be pretty easy to fabricate as long as you find the correct fitting. Also, here is a link to ones that fit Gen 5 Camaro SS Calipers...

Sorry to hear about your stroke Kurt, wishing you a full recovery and you get to enjoy many hours building away in that amazing shop.

Welcome Joel, congrats and love the dark blue gelcoat!

Congrats Tom!

Steve, RCR does sell a cable attachment for the Tilton pedal assembly if that is the pedal assembly shipped with the GT40 kits.

They process the order and ship in about a week. I think their order minimum is $30. They do a good job with 16 gauge stainless. The attached pic shows 10 pieces total and I think it was around $40…

I’m behind you guys on this step, but these look similar to some parts I ordered from Sendcutsend. Could use fusion 360 and draw them out have have them precisely laser cut.

This post covers the install of the interior door handles. RCR provides a pair of Mazda Miata interior door handles. These handles can be used with or without the optional door panels. I purchased the optional door panels so needed to decide how to attach them. The RCR build manual suggests to...

This post covers modifying and installing the exterior door handles. The modification enables a key cylinder to lock the handle and prevent the door from being opened. Rumbles initially pioneered this mod then Cam T and Ken Roberts improved on it. I simply copied Ken’s improvements. Rumbles...
