Thanks for the post of your build. And the pics are great. Please continue to post pics of your build.


I'm very interested in a GT-40. I would like to know "everything" about building a GT-40. Is there space in the front for luggage? Is there room to add a luggage compartment? I have long trips in mind.
Any and all information on GT-40s would be greatly appreciated.

What's the status on the paint? I keep checking your web site to see some of the finish work. This might be one of the better (best) GT40 kit builds on the planet.

Thanks,

-Dean

Bill D is there space in the front where I could make a trunk? Do you have pics of the front area that you could post? I need just enough space for a medium size suitcase.

That would require bringing a whole new dimension to "fitted luggage"!
The car looks great and the build seems to be going well. A very special car for a father-son-son project! Carry on!

Bill, looks like an awesome project! Those are some big a$$ tires stuffed in those wells. Tell us a little more about the wheels and tire combo...Tire cost and how soft (how long will they last on the street?).

Bill, I have over 11,000 miles on my GoodYear Blue Streaks from Roger Kraus Tires. Do you think your tires are about the same comp. or softer?

P.S. Looks awesome!

You are making great progress. It is really good to see the work taking place. I would like my son involved in my next build. He is currently restoring a BMW 2002. A nice little car that is a total rebuild, with an M3 going in to motivate it. A nice way to learnhow to avoid skinning his knuckles..

Yes, there is a real shortage of space in the GT40's. I travelled just on 8000 miles from Phoenix, Az. to London Ohio and back in the GT40 and found that we had soft bags stored in all different locations...

Early morning Phoenix, Az about to head off and put 8,000+ miles on the GT40....




Once again thanks for posting progress photos


Bernie
