Wow Kenneth, looks great, especially like the engine?

Things will slow down on this for a while as I'm waiting for a flasher circuit board for the indicators, some fibre optics for the dashboard and some switches to operate all the lights, all due mid to late February. 

Anyway here is the next update on this awesome kit.

[kpnuts]

Well the fibre optics arrived ahead of schedule so I tried them out, well pleased with the results got 2 more to add for the indicators but have to wait for the flasher circuit board.

Very cool with the lights.

Well I've wasted all weekend trying to get flashing indicators to work (I even bought so called flashing leds, which they didnt) so I've admitted defeat it won't have operating indicators, heres the next installment of the GT40

[kpnuts]

There is 1 other thing missing from this kit, there is no indicator stalk (which is also the main beam ) luckily its a very simple set up so easy to scratch build also the steering shaft is too long and protrudes too far into the cabin (unfortunately I don't have the equipment to alter that but if you had a mill you could)

Hi all more work on the GT40 

[cobraman]

[kpnuts]

Hi all more work on this,ive made some of the many fuel lines.

I bought a tray to use as the base for it to sit on. Can you guess the setting im going to put it in.

I think the turn signals were on toggle switches on the dash,

Started work on the setting for this

[stinkybritches]

Super cool.

[kpnuts]

This is what happens when you know next to nothing about electronics i ordered the wrong switches they only turn the lights off if you keep them pressed, ive ordered some on off toggle switches hope that works.

Looks realy cool! Great work there!

Got most of the decals on now, on the last leg now.
