The Odyssey batteries are good for short trips, but I would recommend using lithium. I used the Odyssey batteries in the initial setup because I was able to purchase this set used. I wanted to test the car before I made the investment in lithium.

The Fiberfab is not a GT-40 replica. It was designed to look like a GT-40, but it looks nothing like a GT-40.

@lawnchairpilot it came with single speed transmission or not? i don't know when.

How much did it cost to make this? Im purchasing a mid-60s valkryie frame and was wondering if this would be cheaper then buying an engine and transmission. It is soley the body of the car. No driveline at all, so do you think this would be cheaper to get it running? Thanks.

I'm getting ready to do the same thing with my GT-40 replica. I see you still used the Fiberfab chassis. Did you have to chop it much to make room for the batteries? I'm thinking of using the same chassis. Are they still making this chassis? I currently have a Mazda rotary 12A hooked up to a VW trans. Did the job in 84 and it's been great but the chassis(VW) is now rotten. Starting over time!
