Do you happen to know if the car started out at Race Car Replicas? (RCR)

[Fran Hall RCR]

No it is an LMK from Australia ( nice cars but not dimensionally correct)

[Steve Briscoe]

Thanks. I'll read this 917 section more closely in the future. The development of your car looks great. Best of luck!

Fran,
what do u mean as dimensionally correct?

[Fran Hall RCR]

Paolo,

the body was "modelled" from dimensions not taken from an original as the RCR917 was.

The LMK chassis also has some square tubes....917 chassis are fabricated completely from round tube...again the RCR uses all round.

We are also using 4130 Chromoly for increased strength and safety...our one compromise for the modern World.

The LMK cars are very nice but we are taking it to the next level with ours.
