Beeing a big fan of classic race cars i initially planned to built a FFR DAYTONA COUPE. By searching the FFR FORUM for months i one day stumbled over a thread with the title "my new GT 40 Kit". Curious about i clicked on the link provided and landed on BILL D´s Bill's GT40 Build Site .
Waht i saw there impressed me very much, so it doesn´t took long and the Daytona Coupe was past.
Beeing a fan of the GT 40 since my youth i checked for available kits a few years ago, but at this time the only one i liked (RF 40) was out of reach. Time has changed and new players came up ( an info which i missed because i didn´t follow up activly anymore).
THANKS BILL D for your threat on FFR. Without that i wouldn´t know about RCR and FRANS great products.
After spending another 4 months on this great forum, i knew i´m going to have a GT40 Kit. The information provided on this forum helped me a lot to learn about the available products and there pros and cons.
The concept and quality of RCR was so impressive, that for me it has to be one of FRANS kits.
In January i got the chance to purchase the UK DEMO KIT. I picked it up personally at CHRIS MELIAS home. All of the people i met there where very helpful ( see also : http://www.gt40s.com/forum/rcr-forum-rcr40-rcr70-p4-mkiv/24131-first-rcr-40-germany.html ).
In this thread you will get an regular update about the build process of my car.
The car will be a purposebuilt trackracer with the following spec:
Right now i´m collecting parts and working on the concept.
I would like to encourage all of you, to provide information, comments
and help during the built process.
Whenever you like, dislike, have ideas to improve things you see on this thread, please post your opinion.
Thank you all
