BUILD THREAD For 1964 Falcon Sprint to Monte Carlo Rallye FIA spec'

[Paul B]

Thanks very much Rhys, Its much better being at the other end when its done. Then its nice to sit back and appreciate the fruits of much toil and labour.

Allan, thanks for your post. I find its a bit like racing - Once you've committed to a corner, your really in boots and all.

928, Weight saving with doors - The reality is that there is not really much of a saving if you want to have roll up windows and a fully functional door, the Polycarbonate window is a must to reduce dead weight in the door to help the fiberglass structure. I have yet to weigh the finished door shell but I will be surprised if I save 5kg per door. The OEM steel door shell only, weighs 13.5kg.
Different story if you have horizontal sliding or fixed poly windows.

The real reason for making these is to restore this car exactly as possible to the Graham Hill car #201 from the Monte Carlo Rally to meet FIA #1250 Homologation. Thats the mission.
