Hi Everyone,
The RCR MKII I got from Fran was to be a turn-key car for the previous client. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen issues the client was unable to complete the build. So I acquired the car with work already started by RCR. The client wanted the car as period correct as possible to P1015. So that's my goal.
I'm still waiting on a few remaining parts but I've begun mocking up the interior though I still don't have my seats. One issue I have is the doors not closing because they hit the dash A-pillar surround where it slopes from the top of the dash to the vertical A-pillar surround. Actually the doors don't close enough to get near the vertical A-Pillar surround.
The dash has been modified for removal so it clears the roll bar and trimmed to fit flush at the A-Pillar.
The doors look to have been set by RCR but I need to confirm that with Fran.
Thinking the dash was too low I raised it and tried closing the door with no luck but the door surround was level with the dash. If I go up any further the dash with be higher than the door surround. I need to post pictures...
Yall's experienced advice is greatly appreciated.
This will be a wonderful build and look forward to learning from this experienced group. I've had the privilege to meet a few of you already.
Thank you!
