I've not had much time to work on my "Number 40" replica GT project recently, but I had 5 minutes spare at work today so I bolted the signalling lamp to the roof panel and gave it a quick test with the battery charger:



And the original, lit up as the car comes through the Ford chicane at the start of the Le Mans Pit straight:



Cool, huh?

HOLLY .




VERY NICE !!

Thanks! It's almost time to start sticking bits back on now - first job is to clean up the floor blanking plates and start seam sealing them back in, then filler on the flares (they shouldn't need much) and lots and lots of squirty seam sealer all round the car as none of the seams have any protection after the acid dip

Just found a slightly less crap photo on my camera

Una Mas . WOW!!!!!! . please keep us all updated with pix .

Super cool. Call in sick for the next month and work on the car.

What color ? Are u going with wight ? and are u upgrading the power plant ? . Please tell us all . Time frame on the end date ?

It's going to be white, with the full Sonauto livery. Inside the front and rear luggage compartments will be satin black to match the original car

As for timescale, it'll depend on how quickly I can earn the money I want it done in time for an entry for the Le Mans Classic in 2010. Hopefully it'll be finished long before that though

shouldn't it be light ivory

Yes, it should be Light Ivory, my bad

I made a little bit more progress today. I've started trying to make the rollcage fit the car. It's brand new and doesn't match the shape of the b pillars very well. I've picked up a ratchet strap from home so tomorrow I can pull the right side back towards the piller to bolt it on. The feet are just tacked in place at the moment while I get everything lined up.
