Mine has a fiberglass interior tub,,,but is the last one to be done that way. All of the new ones are getting full aluminum interior panels along with some other little changes, (like 2 inch engine drop). My car was the "test mule" (sort of) for the eveolution/updating of the car so it has some of the new stuff but not all of it.

I looked at all of the GT40 replicas, and found the NZ car gave me the most for my money.

A few reasons why I chose it.

#1 the chassis, comes standard with rollbar concealed in the firewall, gusetted everywhere, all through bolts are sleeved, etc.

#2, the body. You just have to see it in person!

#3 the alum work. all permanent panels already rivited in place with countersunk aircraft quality rivits! All inspection panels, nut serted. full belly pan

#4 powder painted chassis and all suspension pieces standard

#5 side windows, flush "pop out" windows are a awork of art

#6 suspension, all koni coil overs & heims throughout

#7 uses dual master cyls and racing brake calipers

#8 comes with radiator, fuel tanks, etc,,,and all other parts neede to finish are easy to source anywhere (instead of being forced to buy almost every item from them)

there's more, but I need to get to work.
