Haha, the chev always causes a stir amongst Ford guys. It's the engine that came with the car. The previous owner originally had a Ford 289 I think and wanted a 350 for some reason. Our current plan is to get this thing on the road (which will be a challenge) and spend the minimal amount on it...

Haha. Sorry about the triple post. Fixed now.

Triplicate post. Sorry ;)

Duplicate post. Sorry.

As mentioned in my last update, the car has pretty much been sat dormant while I've been busy with work and my GTR. A couple of weeks ago, the stars aligned and I found some time to pull out the GT40. Here's how she was sitting... Yeah there's not much room next to the GTR. Anyway, so it...

Wow, it's been more than 3 years since I updated this blog. And unfortunately, that's because not a whole lots has happened... But all is not lost. Let's rewind to 2019, where I last found a few days to work on it.. I started tackling the rear firewall. Started with CAD (cardboard aided design...

February 2018 Rear firewall supports and central tunnel On the weekend I found some time to work on the GT40. My mate Raj came over to give me a hand. He is the man who originally found the car for me back in 2011 and it was great to catch up with him. Raj tells me that he still regularly sees...

January 2018 New Shiny Stuff Just a pic to remind us how good these things look. It's been a few months since the last update, but we've managed to have a couple of sessions in the garage. Keen eyes may notice different castor wheels under the rear. The old ones were disintegrating and I...

October 2017 It's time to get on with it! Well, it's been a very long time between posts. A lot has happened for Dad, Tim and I during that time. Tim has been buried in studies and I have been busy with family, work trips away and this purchase.... Unfortunately the GT40 has sat gathering...

August 2016 Well over a year has passed by at lightning speed and not much has happened with the GT40. So what the hell have we been doing? Well, it’s been one hell of year. First up, we did a massive family trip to the USA. One fortunate off-shoot of this, were these awesome fuel fillers that...

Sorry guys. I forgot to update this forum with my blog posts. I'll catch you up a few years (not that it's been a blistering pace)...

Loving this thread. I recently built an axle stand rack. It gets them out of the way.

More Panelling Things have been a bit slower lately, but Tim and I have managed to slip in a few hours here and there. Tim knocked up this panel. You may remember from the last update that I had been battling with this panel in the wheel arch. I ended up trying to 'adjust' a fold which...

I got my Clecos from Summit Racing in the US. Since then I found a local aviation supplier who does them at a good price. We don't have a huge number of them, but I think we have enough to get it done.

That's hilarious Jason. Impressive fit there! Here's an update from my blog: More Panelling Progress I thought I would share some more pics of the panelling process. In the hunt for pictures, I found these gems. Tim tightening the driveshaft bolts a few weeks back. Sometimes it pays to be a...
