A kit car vs a real ford gt frame? How do they compare?

 

[Charlington]

Save you a couple years build time, unless time is no object...

All depends on who is building it and of what material.

Ya, that one is not a picture of a beater hanging from a tree on Craigslist

A modern super car frame, with out a vin, that was extruded, spun welded, and then when done, after all welding, then all the suspension points were cnc machined to insure the utmost of precision. This is a very specific racing frame, that has been on ebay for months, that could in theory be used to reframe a crashed gt built in 05 06.

I'm still not sure how a "done" replica of a 60's gt40 has anything in common.

Would a "body in white" s197 have anything in common with a replica 67 mustang (if such a thing existed) that was "done"?

I started the thread because there was a complaint about the price and availability of Ford GTs. So you can either pay retail, build your own or buy the CAV and go to the track and have fun while everyone else is debating the proper finish for lugnuts.

True. I also like the build quality of ERA GT40's.

Sadly I don't believe they still build them. I did get the opportunity to see them in various stages of construction at the plant. I was very impressed. Excellent examples can be had for half the price of a FGT.

Guy in Lufkin, TX claims to have the largest collection of Ford GT. There are at least 6 (all different colors) in his showroom though only 2 are for sale (yeah, right).
Some of the Repops aren't bad. Forget the fiberfabs and archieV8s. Even accurate reproductions suck because they reproduce flaws/ ancient tech. Who wants to tune a bunch of Webers (GT40)? Funny that the GT500/Terminator engines are slightly improved versions on 1930s tech/1940s implemintstion AKA V12 Aircraft engines (DOHC, Supercharged, Intercooled, Water Injection). Heck, even the WWII Sherman Tank had an All Aluminum, DOHC, NA gas engine. Probably some of that in our Beer Cans.
Back on topic, that Spaceframe looks like it was put together with Rivits in a few places?

Mine has been on 7 different tracks around the country, as recently as last Thursday.

while everyone else is debating the proper finish for lugnuts.

I keep mine clean and serviced (hehe) but it also sees some track duty. This is no trailer bitch.
