DRB GT40 Build thread

Ok next on the list was to paint the steering cross beam (check the holes for the vents.

Next I did not like the look of the raw fibreglass roof spider, most people make a board that glue trim to. I wanted a more of an alloy race type looking interior so i fitted and formed an alloy roof sheet which I Sika flexed into place I also formed alloy cover panels for the a pillars.

Next job is the door handles, again DRB use a Mitsubishi or similar inner door handle but I wanted something that looked like the orginal. So I made some inner door handles from bits of alloy laying around in the shed. I fitted the outer door handles but instead of using the alloy DRB items i used the stainless polished items from the States. The great thing about DRB is that they use BA/BF door locking mechanisms, this good because firstly there is no issues with ADR's and safety but they have central locking motors built in. They work with a generic C/L immobiliser with reverse switching relays.
Not needed but nice to be able to walk away from the car and know the doors are locked.
