Jason,just one caution before you go off and start welding - try these items with a minimal tack weld first.After the doors are aligned and mounted you may want to remove some of these helper devices as you wont be repeatedly assembling / disassembling all these pieces.Also,if you're going to use a seal or some sort of rubber/tape under/around the windshield,you will gain some height there but this seems to be a misalignment with the...

Hi Jason.... I think you will need to re-do your door hinges... Take a look here on my build site; http://www.gt-forty.com/GT-Forty/Doors.html#grid The bolt will need to pass through the door itself rather than in front of it. Shimming of the hinges - It varies for some reason from car to car. Mine takes a 1/4" shim on the right side and a 1/8" shim on the left... My car also did not work with the 66" Dimension....

Jason: You are making good progress. Body alignment is a slow process. Some thoughts: 1. The front clip did indeed have to be 'stretched' to get it on the pins, so at least start with the specified distance from one rocker panel to the other. The clip will settle into place with time. 2. You are correct in not shaving any fiberglass until you have a good preliminary fit. The only edge that needed shaving on mine to get a decent...

Jason Randy is correct. They way you do it the door will be far too much located towards the rear. The bolt need to pass through the door. Also take a look at chucks built thread or mine. I think you also need to move your rocker panel backwards quite a bit, to close the gap between front clip and windshield base. You are correct on the 66" spread, this is not where most of us ended up it is more likely 65" to...

Thanks guys, will re-do the door (only done the LHS ). Did you taper the rockers in at the front or did the spacing differ to the RCR guide along the whole length? I gather you kept them parallel but just checking. Thanks, this answers a lot of questions.

My mate Ali and I had a chat with Ray Webber over lunch today and decided that we should post some details of the work done over the past months with our Mirage monocoques. We will open this up with some shots of the recent craftmanship done by Ray Webber and Steve Hill at Mirage Automotive. The cars will be full MKI monocoques with steel roof skins and FIA approved bladder tanks. They...

Adding some images that Earl at Kinsler forwarded to me of the ITG filters being fitted to the stack manifold. Kinsler is simply first rate, and thus far the service has been the best part.

Malcolm, Thanks for the tip, I'm in the process of removing the lip. Not much progress lately due to work commitments. It pays for the build so I shouldn't complain. I've started to tidy up the wiring and P-Clip the loom in place in the engine compartment. I've also had a go at adding inspection holes behind the rear bulkhead for the fuel tanks. I tried the drivers side first as that is ...

When I built my GT40 I didn't do a build log. So this time I will begin at the very beginning. I Ordered the car on Sept 19th when I was there. I asked Fran to hold off shipping until after the 1st of the year and that fits right into his 16 week delivery schedule. So in the mean time I'm collecting parts. Here I am at RCR trying one on. And as you can see I have begun collecting parts. I ...
