Ron,
Your car looks Fantastic! Based on what I've seen of Fran's products and quality work that you have done, the car is going to be superb!
Since I also live in Carroll County, I would gladly trade you for a ride in it someday.... maybe something of the adult beverage type of your choice!
I would bet the ride would be more enjoyable than the cars I drove at the Bondurant School or the Derek Daly School (granted those were 1/2 day sessions).
Dan
I'm hoping sometime in my life to be able to enjoy one of Fran's cars in my own garage! |

Looking good. I noticed you don't have any half shafts installed yet. Are you waiting for them? Who is supplying them? | |

Thanks guys!
Bill: I got it from Pegasus.It is a Canton.
Big-Foot.I do plan to install a wiper system.I have not looked into it as of yet though.Any suggestions?
Peter D: The small hose entering in front of the pump goes to the bottom of the surge tank.The aluminum "valve" in the other radiator hose is the thermostat.It has a -6 bypass line.
Danimal: Where in CC do you live? You are welcome to come and get a ride once the car is complete.
jonathans:Actually I got them last night!!! I am waiting on a few pieces of hardware from the GM dealership.Then I can install the halfshafts! After that the only things keeping me from driving it is the shifter and the throttle cable!!!
ckouba: I actually got it running on new years day! I sent Fran a small video but I had to use my digital camera to take it.My camcorder isn't digital. 
Again,thanks for all of the great comments! You guys are definately the best!!!

Ron,
Your're awesome! 
I live in Eldersburg/Sykesville.... maybe you can explain to me where the dividing line is! When my wife and I were looking to move from Bel Air to CC, I tried to talk her into looking at the Hamstead/Manchester area... Oh well, we see who won that one!
Part of my master plan is to also beg/bribe a ride in Bill D's RCR the next time I go to Ojai, CA to visit the in-laws. (only about 1/2 hr from Bill).
I keep telling my wife that someday I WILL own a 40 and the more I see of your thread and Bill's (and a few others) I think it'd have to be a RCR.
I did get her to watch "Behind the Headlights:gt40" and she did admit it's a neat looking car. | |

Here is a few quick update pictures I took this morning before I spent a few hours re-aligning the rear deck.(it fits MUCH better now!)
This thing is so filthy it is going to take me two weeks to clean it for Carlisle!!!!!!

Your car keeps getting better and better! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
And I love the faux sill beads. It really does make it look like an original. Did you get the metal from that place in Long Beach, CA?

Ron
Your car is absolutely one of the sweetest here. Your color scheme is both bad ass and unique. I love black wheels on the cars (actually, I like the shiny ones too - the black ones though are just bad ass. I also love saying bad ass). You should put some footage similar to yuor avatar onto you tube. I would love to see some more of her in motion.
Cheers
Jack

Ron,
I just spent the last hour reviewing all 14 pages of this thread and I am speachless! Incredible job! I will have my RCR in the fall and can only hope to come close to the workmanshp and attention to detail. Thanks for posting all of the pictures. I'm getting very anxious to get mine in the garage.
Mark
