Scratch built GT40 finally running

[fernando the frog]

fantastic - usually threads like this never get finished and then you're left unsatisfied - looks beautiful!

[MB140]

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this. I won’t even try.

Congratulations you must be so pleased/happy/excited.

Jealous, absolutely.

[TheDukeGTi]

Awe inspiring build. Brilliant to see it running. Congrats

[ChocolateFrog]

Somehow missed this over the years, nice to see a project finished, especially one as good Looking as this.

I'm assuming the person who down voted your YouTube videos is blind and deaf.

[CR6ZZ]

Very excited. Car is now fully certified, warranted and registered (albeit with a temporary plate). In other words, we are now road legal. Whoop, whoop.

I see you need to have an msnz authority card as being required. What does that mean for driving and selling? Only in a motorsport environment can you use it??

[stuthemong]

Congratulations.

Well well done, what an accomplishment and I wish you many happy memories in the toy!

Nice one

I need to enter it in two Motorsport NZ sanctioned events each year to keep the authority cards current, and thus be allowed to drive it on the roads.

To drive it on the road it needs to be entered into two motorsport events? That's a strange requirement but no particular hardship I guess!

What sort of events are these?

Car looks magnificent BTW!

[CR6ZZ]

Can be any sort of event. I have no illusions as to my skill level, so will likely be bent sprints, gymkhanas and hill climbs, or similar. It is the set of regulations that allows rally cars to be driven on NZ public roads

[CR6ZZ]

And finally, legally on the road.

[GreatGranny]

That is stunning OP

[XOcette]

Congratulations on reaching the finishing line!

That's going to be an enormous amount of fun. I bet it sounds fantastic.

Any plans for a big road trip?
