Rep Power: 2  | BigB's RCR MKIV
Well, I decided to pull the trigger last year on an RCR MKIV (Thanks Fran). It found it's way on a truck this week and hoping to see it arrive sometime this coming week.
The plans: - 482 Keith Craft built, all aluminum Shelby block, with stage II heads (being built now)...That should be sufficient.
 - 930 transaxle (no burnouts, but should be plenty stout)
- Red with meatballs/racing stripes/swooshes on side
- Right hand drive
Lots of work ahead of me! (last picture is what I hope to end up with) |

Thanks fellas, I'll definately post a bunch of pics.
I forgot to mention that my wife says she's going to get her hands dirty on this project! << WOW! She's the detail person in the family, so that will work out nicely.
Ron McCall, I'm in Washington State.

Only wish I was as far along with this thing as you guys are with all of your RCR's (i'm the jealous one). I'm going to really work hard to get it street worthy by late summer, but...we'll see. | |

Yes....because she want to work on it with you. That is awesome. Hell it's a freakin turn on. I would dig it. However, I probably wouldn't get as much done if you know what I mean (at least on the car :-) | |
