This GT40 has been built with careful attention to detail, fit, and finish. No shortcuts have been taken. Copious use of stainless fasteners and hardware. High-quality wire with all connections soldered and protected with heat-shrink tubing. All wires, cables, and hoses pass through panels with correctly-sized grommets. All holes de-burred.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who wants a GT40 replica but doesn't want to wait the long time currently required to get a new kit and an engine and gearbox. The mechanical work is mostly done. Body assembly is mostly done. Body work and paint still remain to be done. So you can finish the car in the color scheme you want. Between waiting time and assembly time this can save you years. See a detailed list of what's done and what isn't here.
