GTT progress

[andygtt]

I've been making some progress with my rear body over the last few weeks.....



I have to admit that the plywood spoiler and WD40 pylons are really growing on me and I might keep them in the final design

[GTRene]

WD40 works for everything
Your car realy comes in shape! very nice, almost a little carrera gt so thats not a bad thing, I like it I also see you have drawn a line for the headlights? think it looks ok but can't see it that good! nice work and keep us posted.

[andygtt]

Little, its actually wider than a carrera GT.... its 2m wide.... dwafs my old Ultima canam when I had them in the garage together.

There are more pics on my site but the back is mearly a card board cut out at the moment, litterally.

Looking good so far Andy. Have tons of admiration for anybody who builds their own car like this.

Thats a very nice offer and one I may well take you up on as I am seriously laking in the ability to doodle like you can.

Here is the latest iteration of the rear end.

I can echo that, amazing and looking very, very good!

Definately looking good Andy.

A lot of design clues seem to reflect the Porsche Carrera.

Is this deliberate?

I notice you've got yourself a '7' to play in too.

Mark

Yes indeed I have taken design qu's from the Porsche GT, it is in fact the car I model my GTT on as it is good looking without being overly flamboyant like the pegani or Quirky like the enzo....... Pegani, Enzo, Keoniggsegg and Mclaren F1 all play a large part of my design as does of cause ultima which started me off

The little kit in the background is in fact an MK Indy with an R1 engine that Jon (above) convinced me I must have..... it isn't finished as I spend simply to much time on my GTT.
The biggest joke is that I bought the Indy to replace my Bike which is also in my garage waiting for me to replace the battery and sell.... This GTT has a lot to answer for

[gtrclive]

Sell the cars Keep the Bike..... It's lighter..

[andygtt]

why bother when you can keep up with friends on their Busa's in your Old M3?
