That car looks big inside, you are almost sitting in there like in a truck. With the seat in i guess your backside (a...) will be positioned much more forward and your torso will be leaning much more backwards with the legs probably stretched out a bit more. Also this car will be a awsome sounding machine => max rockatensky in a GT 40 You need to think about an on off switch for the blower. great work TOM

Dave, As a guy who has bought a rolling chassis, I am in awe of you guys with the skill to make a scratchbuilt car. You work looks great, and I wish you a lot of continuing luck! Graham

Firewall, Part II Experimenting with new techniques is part of the fun of this hobby. Figuring a good way to cover the bump on the fire wall in a decent manner was once such project. We considered several options. First, one could find a good seamstress and stitch a patch in the vinyl cover. Second, one could glue a section of vinyl over the gap. We tried that and did not like the way it looked. So we came up with another idea, which worked...

Martin: Looking really good. I love all the attention to detail you have done. As we say here in N.j. your car is looking Bad ass!. How about some photos of those new seats. Cheers Phil

Hi Phil, Boy - at 80" wide, I wonder if that would even tit inside my trailer! I do believe that the original Gulf-Wide body cars had wider flares on the front as well which was why I asked.. You're doing a great job on this car and I'm glad to hear your side-kick Billy is still keeping the shop in order!

OMG! I have been in a modern GT where the pulley is right behind you, and that is awesome. It looks like you might have to pad this one, in case you are riding without a helmet, so you don't smack your noggin on it. Talk about strapping on an engine!

Thanks Ron, That will be something to look into.Thanks Mark, yes I am going to try to mix modern technology with classic looks. Pete

Yes, I noticed that the ammeter terminals are pretty robust. Does that mean that all the power for all the accessories needs to go through it- like all the lights, etc? I'm not sure I want to do THAT. Thanks for the offer; you can also PM me as well or send me an email. I have some bits and pieces around here that maybe you'll be able to use. Boy, do I have some bits and pieces.

Had a bit of a break through today. The front suspension has been getting the best of me for a while. Because I tapered the front of the Chassis. I had it all figured out in the roll center program and then I discovered I had some bars in the way and it sent me into a bit of a tail spin. But I changed my Ideas for how I was going to do the mounts and today I have a functional upper control arm and mounts clamped in place. If I recommend one...
