Carbon GT mono
- Thread starter Merlin2222
- Start date
Merlin, it looks like you don't need one but if you do I'd be glad to help if I can.
I've found your posts very interesting as I know very little about wet layup vacuum methods so will watch your build and learn something new.
Hi Urs, my compliments for the awesome work! Have you calculated how many hours you have put in this project? Did you start with a 3d computermodel, or all in your head!?! How many meters of carbonfibre did you use already? And last but not least, when do you think you wil finish your project?
Again COMPLIMENTS!
Again COMPLIMENTS!
I think im now at around 900 hours or so.
And there should be around 200m2 Carbon web on it.
I drawed the ground of the chassis in 3D but only the bottom, for the carbon plates.
To finish the project , i think around 2 years.I hope to start the engine at the end of this year.
I can t await to hear the sound like toms trackracer!!.
Here some new pics from the engine mount hinge points.

You are a F1 engineer?

Urs, do you think that the handling will be like a modern supercar? Or more like a modernised one. The suspension geometry you have changed right? And how about the positioning of the fueltanks? Will they be like in the original, in the sills? Or do you have a different idea in mind the increase the safety for sideimpact crashes etc? New supercars normally position the between the ingine and drive/passenger, right?
I hope the handling would be more like a modern car , But we will see!! I dont thinkt that everything will work optimal for the first time.
I also studied abot the tanks, but it s not really easy to bring them as low as they are in the original at another point in the chassis , but thats something that i also have to look for. , like many other things as a car build beginner.
Yesterday i closed the top of of the engine mount rooms.

Re: Carbon GT mono >>> Materialfrage ???
Hallo Urs,
von deinem beitrag bin ich absolut begeistert. :thumbsup: wobei es mir nicht so sehr um den gt40 an sich, sondern um die fertigungstechnik geht.
ich beabsichtige auch ein historisches (renn)fahrzeug zu reproduzieren & befinde mich derzeit erst im stadium der visualisierung am/im pc.
weiters bin auch ich gelernter tischlermeister mit absolutem hang zu fahrzeugen aller art ( ein albtraum ) :veryangry:
während des gesamten beitrags versuchen die mitglieder hier herauszufinden wie genau der aufbau der carbonteile funktioniert, so auch ich :laugh:
kannst du die genaue bezeichnung der verwendeten materialien, Hartschaumplatten sowie carbonfaser preisgeben, oder handelt es sich um ein *betriebsgeheimnis* ?
derzeit fertige ich lediglich kleinteile für meine rennmaschine aus gfk, anfertigen einer positivform aus polystyrol + abspachteln ect.
ich wünsche weiterhin gutes gelingen und freue mich auf neue beiträge von dir, mfg:2thumbsup:

Love the video
I was lucky enough to fly a real trick plane similar to yours for an hour at my local airstrip. Great to feel the G forces.
Wanted to go up in the Spitfire but they stopped the passenger flights for health and safety reasons, l enjoyed flying the Gypsey Moth may go up in the Harvard war plane soon.
CAR LOOKS GOOD TOO.
Cheers

Hello Keith
My father is also restoring a T6 with some friends. Look at the pic.
To my gt build.
Most of the strengthenings in the backroom are done.
I have to do now some small cutouts for some tubes and cables.
And i also have to drill the holes for the rear suspension.
Now someone has a good idea for cable shifting kit? And i also search a good pedal system and a watercooler.
Thank you
