Your build is without doubt one of the best out there , you and Sam have done an epic job. I’ll be avoiding parking mine next to yours at Le Mans next year as you’ll show me up…
Were are then new builds

I'm building a Roaring Forties, but I haven't posted a build log here.
It's just easier to post it on Facebook. Click photo, upload post and done.
I barely have enough time to work on the car, without mucking around with a third party image host and posting links, etc. Maybe I'm just not tech savvy enough.
Here's a link to my build, if any one is interested.

I do find it a lot easier to share and upload photos via BookFace.
it's just easier on a phone/tablet. The old forum interface and photo sharing method is not that user friendly on a phone.
We have made lots of things as there are lots of things that are just not available anymore, the heartwell, latches ,steering wheel, alternator, brackets exhausts, carb pieces many many little things just to try and accent the car not looking for a tool room copy just a nice representation
we are not there yet there yet? Paul can’t wait to meet all you guys it’s been a blast over the last few years and I know Sam speaks very highly of you guys thanks for all the help it’s been great and that’s what it’s about. and no worries we’ll all park together and we’ll all be very proud of what we built I’m sure, sams been busy in there again today, making the bracket for the front pit marker light that looks really nice. He’s done a good job of that as well.

I'm lucky enough to have a Holman Moody GT40 build in progress. I'm 12 to 16 months out before the car will be finished. If anyone has any MKA period correct parts, we are always on the hunt.

That is Awesome Jack, will look forward to your progress.
I am building one in FL. no build log.
My SPF Mark I, ordered last December, arrived at the shop the week before Christmas. Since the shop was closed between the holidays, work has just started. I believe everything necessary to complete the car has been received, so I Am hoping for a completion date around the first of March.
I would consider doing a build log if anyone is interested in seeing another monocoque built.
Please do!
It’s not just for us on the sideline, but for your friends, family and even yourself as you will someday reminisce about your creation and want to take a look back. A friend may show an interest in building a car and you can point him/her to your build log here on GT40s so they may get the feel of what may be ahead.
Admittedly, the creation and maintenance of a build log is sometimes a bit of a challenge, but most find it a healthy one as it also helps you to step back to see the forest amongst the trees. Additionally, the build log is a good source of motivation to keep pushing forward when you may just want to walk away - trust me, it will happen…
Thanks in advance for sharing your build loaded full of struggles and even greater success!

Do it! I've found that over the years a build diary becomes an excellent reference as to how and why things were done. It is also a valuable bit of provenance on the car.
