Hello everyone. I just joined and I must say, this is a very cool forum. I am currently building a GT40 replica complete with an aluminum monocoque chassis and Gulf style body. The engine is a 331 SBF with aluminum heads and 48IDA Webers. Tires are AVON historic racing slicks - 9" in front and 15" in the rear.

I look forward to (hopefully) providing any help and also getting help with questions I might have.

Cheers
Bill

Here is my first car...a replica of a 1965 Shelby 427 SC Cobra. It has a 503 ci BBF that made 645 HP on the dyno. This car was scary fast. I sold it to build a GT40.
