I'm building a 7,but have been watching Ratchet since his early days to keep my motivation up. I honestly thought this was his video at first. The guy is a perfectionist and did an AMAZING job with his build series. I picked up many tips that will translate over to my own build.
Im very interested in the Tornado kit. This year is the 60th year reunion for the Gt40 at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. You guys should bring a pair of cars to the event. You might even get a few orders from costumers there!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I believe John Wyer built some aluminum monocoques for his GT-40 Gulf Team Cars. Certainly when they were raced as Mirages with the rounded roofs. These were not related to the DFV-powered cars. Maybe the '68 and '69 LeMans winners had the aluminum chassis? The car Miles was killed in was a J-Car, or GTP (later it became the Mk IV) which used an aluminum/honeycomb material for its monocoque chassis.
The Lola GT was an aluminum monocoque and Lola’s specs called for the same. Ford bosses insisted on mild steel. 😫 Gord in Toronto, RCR GT40 ( aluminum 😎 ) off to be painted.
£60k sounds like a bargain, although I wouldn't expect to get anywhere in good time, given that every time you stop you'll be engaged in conversation by men and boys.
