In need of some GT40 MK1 reference, please!

[cruz]

Hey guys, I am thinking about putting some pictures together for future reference of the GT40 MK1 car. I have searched google and found some stuff already but if someone here can share some better pictures, I would certainly appreciate it. I am mostly interested in engine/plumbing/wiring reference. Of course, interior pictures are also cool. Can anyone help with a cool link or personal pictures? I am seriously considering putting one of these together soon since I already own the resin engine from Historic Racing Miniatures! Thanks!

You may have seen this progress thread on an amazing 1/8 scratchbuilt GT40...(it's 43 pages, so get ready)

http://www.scalemoto...lt-why-not.html

Also, you might PM Cato to see if he can help.

I might add that other build threads on GT 40s have indicated that there may be no such thing as a "definitive" or truly typical GT 40, since different cars were modified by different race teams and one car may have been changed from one race to the next, or even during a race.

I would be falling down on my crusade if I didn't mention that it would help if your thread title was more specific, and people who know would be more drawn to your thread.

How about, "Need reference help for a GT 40"

?

There are some pics on this site, though you have to look through them to single out the GT40 Mk I and prototype:

Another one that has the race seasons of the different years and cars:
