Good luck with the build! Not too long ago one of my trusted suppliers, AJAX castings near Cape Town, closed doors. So far I was not successful in locating the patterns. Amongst others: GT40 fuel filler cap, Lemans fuel filler cap. Probably all scrapped. If I build another car, look at what the Porsche 917 had: A cap from a truck!

Good move importing the proper lights. Took me 10 weeks last time when I needed any (and a premium for shipping from UK - before Brexit). My steering wheel "AC" center cap from USA made a detour via Germany. Must have cost me R2.000 until I had it ($200). The 16" steering wheel I still had from the 90s. You know how much that costs.

Car is done, gone, history. Pattern (which I took from CCX 3080) also sold. CR chassis drawings, plus extras also gone.

All in all a nail biting, nerve wracking experience due to all the shortcomings in our country.
Biggest compliment I got from a former very high ranking CEO: "Will you work for me?"
