This is my current project this weekend. I bought the kit (resin body only) at a model contest a few years back and sorta forgot about it till I found it while unpacking from my recent move.

Hopefully this weekend I can get some pics of the body to illustrate how bad of a casting the resin actually is. Its very fragile and brittle. When I bought it, it was pretty much a massive block of resin, especially in the nose section. I dremmeled the whole thing out thing it as much as I could. Anyways, if anyone has any or knows of a link to more photos of this car I'd be very appreciative of any help given.
Thanks in advance,
David

Looking forward to seeing more of this. :) GT40s are the coolest, the odder the better!

Try holmanmoody.com My friend and the son of one of the founders is restoring and building all new GT-40's using some of the original jigs they used back in the '60's.
