What intake are you using?

I have tried to make headlight covers for my Lola T70 replica using 1/8th Acrylic sheets and was not able to successfully form them. The Lola headlights are larger and more curvaceous than the GT40. From my mistake I have learned that Lexan, Not Acrylic, is necessary for molding to the curved...

The painted chassis does look great and makes all the zinc coated and aluminum pieces really stand out! Also the Le Mans running start wall in your garage is amazing!

Hello Joe, Great looking Gt build you have there! Seems like it will be a blast to drive! I am surprised that you chose to paint the chassis rather than showing off the shiny aluminum. Built by Dan on youtube is building one of these Absolute Pace cars and he seems to be having numerous...

What a special build! How is this project coming along?

My Lola is not too much to look at right now, it’s been on jack stands for over a year. I have been doing some light repairs and servicing to it when I have free time. Unfortunately my progress on the repairs has been slower than I had hoped. It is a Marauder car and if you aren’t familiar these...

That is a good question, I do think there are more options for the skinnier front tires in 15” but as far as Nitto goes I think the closest thing they do make is the NT01 in 225/45/15, possibly too small of a diameter for our purposes. The NT01 is a super sticky 100 tread wear semi-slick.

Hello Niel, Wow that is some serious speed! Must have been quite exhilarating! I will never be reaching anywhere near those speeds in my replica it certainly is not built well enough for that. Thank you for your advice, it’s good know that at least these tires would be a good option should I...

One good option for radials that I have found are the Nitto nt555r2 in 325/50/15 they are about $270 each on eBay. Although narrower, they are half the price of the 345/35/15 Pirellis P7. The biggest issue would be the modern tread pattern but it’s not too ugly.

Thank you Ian, the opinions in that thread are a bit worrisome! Especially the story that Stirling Moss called them undrivable! If he couldn't tame these tires I surely I wont be able to! It sounds like these tires are much better suited for the track and struggle in the real world. I also...

I am glad to hear that you have had good experience with the Avon tires. I will be using my car for small short trips to car and coffee and the occasional longer weekend drive to nice roads. I don't ever drive this car in the wet so hopefully I will be okay. The seller is asking $550 for the...

Thank you the liability is a concern and something important for me to consider. They do have that warning on the sidewall. That having been said, this car is terribly unsafe and I doubt I would survive most collisions.

Hello, I have a replica Lola T70 that is rarely used and only driven on the street. I have been looking to replace the tires with something more appropriate for the car and found a great deal on a new set of Hoosier Vintage T.D.S tires. The model numbers are 44286 and 44316. I am a college...

Marcus, this is an incredible build! It has been a huge pleasure and inspiration to read through your work here. I look forward to following your progress with this amazing project!

I have a running, driving, California registered Marauder, it has a 351 Cleveland from Hall Pantera and a ZF 5 Speed transaxle.
