Ok, new to the GT40's forum but not new to cars or going fast. I live in Ormond Beach, FL and have raced "something" since about 1988. Boats, Shifter Karts, SCCA Cars, Bikes, Etc... Now I'm getting the GT40 bug, BAD!! I just sold my 289 FIA Cobra (replica) by Unique Motorcars and now I'm here to gain some education on GT40's and how to build mine. Thanks for letting gain some knowledge here!

Cheers, Ben

All, I have secured and bought an Active - Chris Arden GT40 and I have just come back from Ohio to take a look at it. SUPER excited about this new adventure and building me a GT40!!! Once I have the car to me in Florida, I'll start a new thread for the overall build. Cheers!!

What level of build did you order? It looks like yours is a lof further along than the roller I had delivered last month.

Joe, so I ordered mine to be "more" paint ready. So body panels aligned, vents cut, headlights cut and then primed. Still needs, latches, engine, transaxles, plumbing, wiring, interior, dash, etc. And of course, a paint job.

But, I am loving the AP Chris Ardern product I received!!!

Mine will take some work to get it to the point of yours, but I'm used to working with rusty, greasy projects. This will be a nice change of pace....and I think fiberglass is easier to work with than metal.
