Hi folks - Dan Bocek here. I've been dying to build a 40 for quite some time, and it's time to start thinking seriously about it. Being in the US, it seems there are not a lot of local choices for kits, but one does intrigue me - Active Power cars.
As far as I can tell, there is not yet a build thread for one of these. Can anyone here vouch for or complain about the quality of these kits? I want to go with a space frame, so I think that leaves RCR off the table.
Now, here's the weird part: being a Tesla owner and sold on the potential of electromotive power, I want to put an electric drivetrain in my 40. Doing that might even leave room for a third seat for our little tot! I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I truly believe this is the way things are heading, and if the performance characteristics of the high end Teslas are any indication, huge amounts of electric power befitting the GT40 heritage will be possible and incredibly fun. Looking forward to talking to some of you...
