  1. The plans appear to be from the old Model Cars Magazine series …. It will be a challenge - but its doable - easy for me to say ! Is the Lexan reasonably thick ?
  2. Remember to post some shots of the engine exhaust set up - its really cool ! And accurate !
  3. Gramps - you dont have a 64 Sebring program , do you … ???
  4. Before you’re half way done - it’s time for a nap … got 5 excellent shots of my Daytona - and did you see the relaxed shot of Clark and Gurney ? So who is doing the Clark Cortina … ???!!
  5. https://www.facebook.com/SebringLegends/?ref=page_internal Alrighty - start here or go to the photos page many of these are by a photographer that I am not familiar with / Dave Morton Dave fr Hobart - scroll down - way, way down ... great photos of the Iso Grifo ... this is why facebook causes insanity - just keep scrolling down until you forget what day it is ...
  6. https://velocetoday.com/the-gto-and-the-hole-in-the-donut/ and by the way, Mr. Ditton, open this link - you will need a make an accessory for the interior ...
  7. Randy - think you want to build 82 speced to its appearance on / or before the starting grid ... there is a reason why you will never see a Sebring entrant displayed in a present day vintage event as "unrestored" ,,,
  8. Funny - those mag wheels look like they belong …
  9. Compare this photo To the overhead photo of the ‘64 GTO on the previous thread page - the resemblence is not a coincidence - Bizzarini was involved in the design of both cars …
  10. Fr Dave B: I have found in my stash a pre painted vac form Iso. It looks reasonably good but I will need to review dimensions and see what I can do about the wheels prior to seeing if it will slush mould. If someone turns up with a resin kit offer them the slot. I'll keep this link informed of my progress. speaking of which: https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/first-drive-bizzarrini-5300-gt-cors cool fact: Bizzarini: born in '26, is still alive !
  11. And for those of you who did not experience the sixties … I’m sorry …
  12. https://primotipo.com/2017/02/09/long-low-lithe-and-menacing/ check out the proud new owner in his granny glasses in 1967 - at the bottom of this Primotipo feature ...
  13. Gramps - I’ve got the Thunder Valley Miniatures GT40 engine set - as you can see - it was designed for 24th scale - thank you formthe offer - but in the end - I’ve got good scale Webers - and I’ll make a better sized engine using the kit castings -make The valve covers - etc …
  14. Saw Four of these beasts - all lined up - waxed and polished - at the Amelia Concourse- four years ago - the survivors - less than 50 ? - are all over- restored - and gorgeous - if I had one I would do exactly the same thing - curbside is fine - but if you get ambitious - it would be easy to source the engine - either way - i was really hoping that someone would do this car - are there any survivors in Australia ? Check Primotipo …
  15. Probably just grow each kit part with some bits of Evergreen plastic - and I’ve got some 25th scale Webers in my parts box - the keys are to maintain the correct height and location of the rear axles and to make sire that the exhausts are clear of the suspension trailing arms - also deepen the crank case and open the chassis base plate for the bottom of the engine - see Mr. Ditton’s GT40 build ..
  16. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/multimedia/album/history/1964-ford-gt-prototype-101.html And this is the link to the Ford site …
  17. My kit is complete - im jonesen for five 25th scale 3D printed wires …
  18. MFH wiill some day do a series of GT40’s - and they will be killer ..
  19. My theory is that the expense of tooling is such that design errors simply are not corrected due to the initial investment in the first tools …. Which is why the MFH large scale kits are expensive but maybe worth it - and their use of wh metal panels allows body assembly with the ability of the builder to tweek the fit and nail the gaps …
  20. Will need to source 1/25th wire wheels and Dunlop tires for this build - Randy - help me convince Bill C to make some …
