After reviewing the various GT40 replicas I took the plunge and ordered a RF GT40. When I first started looking in earnest, I had not completely determined if it would be a kit or turn-key minus. So I basically did parallel searches – turnkey and kit
BUT after much consideration we made the decision to go the kit route. My son is 16 (got his license yesterday - I got the insurance bill) and this was a great opportunity to have a last father/son project. This route has lots of possibilities but it came down to ERA and Roaring Forties. ERA - I loved the idea of no panels to install and the body was pre-fit, but delivery was a major problem along with cost. Roaring Forties – Absolutely the best packaging, just like the models I built when a kid, but BIG. I am still a bit hesitant about the panels and body fit, but through discussions with Robert Logan, and Gordon Levy I believe I will never be alone. In addition, Ron Earp spent a great deal of his time sharing his build experiences. Now we are trying to have a work shop garage built while we wait for the BIG BOX to arrive.
Any suggestions as to tools, equipment, etc. are greatly appreciated, or RF build pictures.
Thanks for the help.
