Sorry for the delay again guys, lots going on this end.
Dash wise I plan to do something like this image. I have a bunch of aircraft switches and fuse blocks. I like that purposeful look. So it’s there to do a job rather than look pretty. So I will probably scrap the entire dash and create something out of aluminium. Seats are a tricky one as I don’t want to come away from what the car is and I want it to be period but I’d like them to hold you firm.
On the wheel front I went for a complete custom wheel. I did things backwards as to what I was recommended as I see more logic in having the wheels on the car and then fitting the arches to suit, that way I am able to get the gap to tire perfect, whatever perfect is. Stance is everything in a car to me, you can have a terrible looking car but if it’s sat right it can make so much difference. I’ll attach a picture of the wheel specs.
I’m definitely set on the paint being an old Ford gold colour. I remember my grandpa having an old Ford Granada in a similar colour. I think I have posted a picture of it however I will do so again. Ever since seeing the car I fell in love with the GT40 so I feel it’s only right to go for the colour that started the passion.
You’ll see in the images 4 latches. I had a friend make these for me as that’s how I plan to hinge the front and rear clam. Not sure how it will turn out however I am positive they will do the job.
for those that are interested, I finally finished my Supercharged Night Rod Special so added a picture of that. I’ve also been busy messing about with my GTC. I have a problem where I am unable to leave things alone.
Is my GT40 sitting too low at 36”
