Back on the StanceWorks F40 project, the team is revving up after a stint with the 244 GTK at Grid Life. Now, it's all hands on deck for the F40, promising a deep dive into the technical nitty-gritty. They're not just building any F40; no, they're crafting a tube chassis masterpiece, blending original Ferrari body with 458 Challenge Evo suspension and an 800hp V12 engine. This isn't your run-of-the-mill project; it's a symphony of modern engineering and classic design.
The focus shifts to aligning the body with precision, with meticulous attention to the A-pillars and windshield frame. Unboxing the elusive rain tray, a crucial piece in the windshield puzzle, adds to the anticipation. A-pillars, the steel backbone of the F40 body, are being reimagined using molds from a generous friend. Fiberglass placeholders are crafted, serving as a bridge to the final carbon kevlar structure. The team meticulously trims and fits these A-pillars, marking a significant leap forward in the project's evolution.
To support this ambitious endeavor, viewers are encouraged to subscribe, grab some merchandise, or join the exclusive Patreon community for behind-the-scenes access. With the A-pillars painted and temporarily in place, the project gains momentum, inching closer to its ultimate form. Next on the agenda? A daring 3D scan of the 244 GTK's Lexan windshield, a task riddled with challenges. Masking tape and markers become the tools of choice to ensure pinpoint accuracy in the scanning process. The resulting detailed scan will be a crucial piece in the puzzle, merging seamlessly with intricate CAD files for the project's next phase.
