| Re: RCR's Next car should be..... A`pal of mine used to build Indy car tubs...the 86 March had a radius on the tub sides and he showed me the way to do it...
Very labour intensive and looses alot of integrity when curved...
I have some planned uses for it....

Rep Power: 2  | Re: RCR's Next car should be..... Lola T-332 Formula 5000, configured for LS series Chevy and RBT 6 speed. Make it SCCA safety legal for track day events anywhere, and vintage legal, at least for the lucky east coast vintage clubs that accept replicas. Gee I wish I still had the mold for the airbox that I used to have....If I still had it, I'd GIVE it to Fran if he would do the car to go under it.
Jennifer [ hoping this will be my year for a RCR P4 ] |

DIBS!!!!
(Just be a little patient with me for the money)
Another idea...
Nissan R390? Affordable, easy to find engines, but of course gear boxes would be a pain in the ass to find as they all are. LOL I'd bet you could get someone to remake the glass for the car too so it won't be so damned expensive for you Fran. |

It was a concept built off of the GT40 in 1966 and a pretty cool one at that..
