Guest Anonymous Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I have been researching every bit of information I can on this conversion and the more I read, the more I'm convinced that I want to do this! With that said how difficult would this conversion be? By the way, I'm planning on doing the coupe. Which kit did you use and what was the most difficult part of the conversion? Since a lot of you guys on this board seems to have finished (for the most part ), any tips about the building process would be appreciated!!

SpeedRacer Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Welcome 250GTZ and yes, quite a few here have built Ferrari 250 GTO kits. Mine is the original Alpha One GTO that I bought from Joe Alphabet. http://www.hybridz.org/Review/0002/Ferrari_GTO.htm and http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=236622 It's a good thing that they don't make the Alpha kit any more because it took over 1000 hours to get the body to fit right. Over one third of the time was in the nose alpne. After McBurnie got the molds from Joe he modified (and greatly improved) the nose. The molds have been through many hands but, last I heard, Jeff at Stable Autoworks http://www.zcarkits.com/ has them now. Even so, the mounting of the body is the hardest part. One guy who has visited this board recently has a great looking kit but I have never seen one in person. You might want to check out Scorpion Z http://www.scorpionzcars.com/ He offers a trunk kit which makes it even closer to the real thing. The finished product is an awesome car – good luck!
