Hope you are well.
Cheers Leon.

Looking bloody good John. Forgive my ignorance for this question but you mentioned ride height and that you'll be lowering the car from its current 4" to even lower but in the picture the "door" is laid open which begs me to question were doors required in this cars class when it raced similar to the outrageous requirement for luggage compartments on GT 40's etc that ran at Le Mans? I'd think given the height of the car a driver would simply jump over the sill to gain access to the seat.
Can't wait to see the finished car.

Super dooper !!!!!!!!!!!

That`s great to see, there is something special to roll out a car that you have built yourself...even better when you get to drive it in earnest. John, my ride height is around 70mm which means a well designed trailer with long ramps.
Mike, I think the first basic rules were;
Two doors
Two seats
And the body must cover the wheels at all times. Even those rules were `loose`(Denny got disqualified once when he knocked off a front corner.
As for access, yes with long legs you just swing em over, sit down and enjoy the ride.

Hi mate under control I think, ive put the GT40 wheels on for now, but their to small and the off sets all wrong but its off the ground so its a start.
you don't realize how big the bloody thing is till its on the ground with all the body work on it, would be fantastic as a road car, as long as dogs didn't grow any taller than dachshunds, lol.
cheers John

I'm not sure about Can-Am but for FIA (Le Mans etc) I think they had to have a spare tire too. It was when the "powers that be" started making rules & manipulating things. That a lot of builders lost interest like Chaporal. Said it just wasn't fun anymore.
