Hey Sandy,
That is a pretty car, done by the local guy Fran uses? I might should have had him to the Lola body too but I need to learn fiberglass sometime.... 
I remember seeing your engine and transaxle there at the shop and those headers, they are really cool in person.
So, once you take delivery it won't be long before that thing is on the road, that engine will be a beast!

I am living vicariously through the photos  very nice work from the entire RCR Team for sure. It's getting so close I can here the clacking of the valve train in my head.
Will post more as I get them, I think the dam will be bursting soon.
Thanks Fran!
Sandy

Hopefully soon. I think this was the last major part for completion. Just a little bit of loose ends as it seems. Hurry Fran

BillP,
As to how many cars, not sure, almost a handfull I would guess.
BTW posted a hand full of pics in the RCR section, was too lazy to post here as well. They were from the Feb 28th 07' visit

The car is now sitting in my garage 
Huge thanks to Fran and his team. Also thanks to Rich Lacy who was the transporter which I can say was nothing but superb with communications and care of my car.
Pictures will be posted soon. Just have not had a breather for a couple of days. Now it seems I have to work 
Sandy

Ditto the comments on Rich Lacy. He delivered my Cobra from Kirkham and did an outstanding job.
Can't wait to see your pic's Sandy. | |

Sandy,
My car uses the Porsche 930 also. I've never been crazy about how it looks from the rear - you can see the 930 support frame hanging down below the fiberglass. Have you found a way of concealing this.
How about posting some photos of the rear of the car!

My 930 has no support from the back. Looks OK, I only have a pick of the car in the garage but look in the RCR section you might see some that show it. I have been swamped with work and family so just had this for now.
Pics of Rich Lacey and my son Alex touching daddy's car.

Sandy,
Very, very nice looking car! I just can not imagine what it was like parking it in your garage for the first time! Hope you have warned your neighbors!
Hope your bill is paid up at your dentists office. The grin on your face is sure to cost you more than one or two visits to his office to correct.

Congrats, Sandy - it's been a long wait but clearly based on photos well worth it. The team at RCR have sure look like they came through big time.
I, for one, would like to see a pic of you in the fun seat wearing the grin I well know is going to be, as Gary noted, damn tough to remove!
I'd close by adding a 'best wishes' but it appears that's already come to pass...
