The Avenger is not a GT40....not even close...
The major GT40 replica makers all supply a "good "
quality body that would fool 99% of the public.
If you are in the UK, Chris Melia also makes nice bodies.
Of course the body is just the start.....each manufacturer
designed their body to fit their chassis/hinges etc...
so don't think you can easily mix and match.
Best bet is to buy matching chassis/body, already mounted.

Thank you!! that's the kind of info i am looking for!! sorry live in the USA...I will have to keep track but so far never encountered any shows with GT40 in it.
I would like some one to step up and recommend a couple of glass bodies- want to build my own chaises.....the body would be hardest with no mold or plug to go from,, would end up with a version of GT nothing to exact....cant have that

stanton, Im kinda new into the GT40 replicar scene too.
Heres what Ive come to feel:
ERA GT40 replica is awesome and expensive.
The CAV seems to be at the top as well
Both of those cars use an orig style monocoque tub.
Race Car Replicas is producing a monocoque car, but I dont think any are completed yet.
There are a few really nice space frame cars too:
Roaring Fourties makes an awesome replica.
GT40 Australia also makes a real nice car.
These are the most prevalent replicas from what I can gather...
*Please dont get offended if I forgot to mention your favorite replica*

Bill, I graduated from Taunton High - where are you located?
I get back east a couple of times a year, and visit friends

shop and enjoy visitors, I'd love to come by some time.

William,
Do you make bits and pieces to order? I am in need of a LHD dash, doors, and possibly a complete spider. I do have door skins and the pieces to make a whole spider but they are not of good quality fiberglass manufacture. Also, do you have a source for glass windshields?
I live in S.E. Virginia and it could be a weekend drive to pick up some parts if you could help a fella out.
Thanks
Devin
