GT40- one of my favorites for sure
As promised, here are some much nicer pics of the GT40. This has been a satisfying project and is as close to the original GT40 as possible using a lexan Kyosho Nostalgic shell, scratch built interior with gauges, shifter, and V-8 engine. Heavily modified Top-Force chassis using modified Hummer TA02 suspension arms, TA02 speed tuned gear set and Tamiya aluminum motor mount. Different combinations of wheels and tires have been tried. BTW- my full size car is orange hence the perfect color background in some of the earlier pics. scollins

Absolutely dazzling! Btw, it's not a GT40, it's a GT4...(Hint: 4')

Tidy job - the orange wheels just finish it off.

I just don't understand why anyone would glue bodymounts to a diecast static model.

I think those HPI Pantera wheels set it off just right, Good choice!!

Thats a really nice looking ride there. great detailing. The wheels looks a bit small but perfect to scale looks! as classic cars have smaller wheels. Superb!

Thanks, I know about what you mean with the wheels. I studied lots of photos and these are almost right. I wish they were six spokes though!!!!!!!

I admire your work very much. I especially like the rear engine detail. Where did you get that from?
scollins
@V.S. the engine detail is scratch built from aluminum tubes for the induction side and balsa wood for the valve covers!
