    The Boxster S it a lot more affordable than a 930, or more so, the ZF, but it still presents issues with engine height, etc. The front end change to, for example, a Mustang II/Pinto front end would...

    This is a case of the blind leading the blind. I went with what my eye saw, and that may be different than what someone else's eye sees. I tried to consider photos of original McLarens, taking into...

    The only reason I mentioned it was there was because of a recent and lengthy string about this on the GT40s website, and though it would seem that this is much less critical for a steering shaft,...

    Yeah, much better configuration there on the tail lights. Looks like it was intended to be this way. I don't know that the circular ones would have looked right, but think you're more on the mark...

    Yes, but you will be limited to (I believe) 6 per post, BUT, that was a series of URL links (from a photo hosting site). If you are attaching images from your computer, than I cannot speak to that.

    What about the Montage (especially with all the work being put into this project) prevents a modified frame that uses side tanks similar to what was used on the Mirage?
