    Hi,
    My first tread on the GT40 section but I just had to tell you.
    Just found out that there is a guy in Sweden building monocoque
    GT40 cars. Looks exactly like the real deal.
    Look at site http://www.sportscar.se/

    I believe a significance being is the degree in replicating the original GT40 chassis. Where CAV is monocoque, it isn't aluminum, nor is it identical to an original chassis. But you can note in their own wording, "... its dimensional accuracy is superb". On the other hand, GOX has gone to the effort to duplicate the chassis in aluminum. By observation and memory, the GOX looks like a really good facsimile:thumbup: . I'd love too know the weight difference on the chassies.

    I see the central roof panel is also aluminum v. 'glass!

    NICE!!!!! I'd love to have one; crawling around in one would be a helloffa fun. Who wants one I can finish out for them!!!
