Thank you for the links.

You are right with the build skill/tools/room/budget. However, this car is primarily for my wife and I really like the idea of the using the Z3, taking off the body panels and work right away on the body.
Very little electrical work and have that coupe on the road the same season.

I see you point about the more accurate version, but quite frankly when I mention Ferrari 250 SWB - huh, what, ah what's that?

And again, the ease of build is calling me, laying in the GT40 for hours upside down for the electrical/mechanical work was not that fun - especially when somebody else before me did $*&&^%$# work.

So far I did not have any answer of my email from last Monday - I hope I have the right address.... info@tributeautomotive.com (?)

Some nice builds here on this site! Cheers
