DRB #46 now on the road

Darrell, your car is just beautiful. However, I'm curious about your intended treatment of the door windows. Will there be any? Even a fair weather car gets caught in the rain sometimes, so I am curious.

Dalton the windows are work in progress i am doing somthing like a maclaren F1 with a long opening at the botton that will fold in on the inner sill of the window. I will post a pic when finnished.

Thanks. Or you could bring it down to Sydney for me to see (I'm close to the end of the F3). And leave it with me for a couple of days to fully check out.

Hi Darrell,

Fantastic car, I have DRB #65 and am slowly gathering parts. I am also building a house so unfortunatly the car is a bit slow.:sad:

I am amazed at your car as itis almost exactly what I have planned for mine.

It will probably be Mercury grey with either white or shadowed silver stripes.

I was even going to use BA falcon interior door handles. I bought a XR6 Turbo last year and have been scouting it for parts I can use like the door hanbles, side indicators etc.

Great build.

Hi Darrell
Just wanted to thank you for your generosity in taking me for a ride on Friday at the Cobra Nationals - your car is a work of art, and you appear deservedly happy with the result.
Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon its always a pleasure to help. When i was researching to buy my car several owners gave me the opportunity of having a run in their cars and i was very thankfull of their generosity so its is the least i can do to do the same for someone else.
By the way i had a great weekend with my car, after driving to and from Newcastle to the Cobra nationals on friday i took my car to King Edward Park Hillclimb car display and won peoples favorite both days. I have won trophies there before but had to dive hard to do it.

Beautiful car Darrell, I don't know how I missed this post but your car is a work of art and you should be rightfully proud of it.

You mentioned the Cobra Nationals...... I'd like to see a GT40 Nationals one day, that would be a sight!

Thanks Bill, I know its not everyone's cup of tea but my car is everything I wished for and more. I watched your build as I was building my car and it was build logs like yours that kept me motivated to get my car finished. You to can be very proud of your car.

I only spent Friday at Wakefield Park but it was very enjoyable I would love to see a large contingent of GT40s there I an sure that the Cobra boys (and girls) would be happy to have them along.
