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....

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.

The cage would weigh more than the car...
Here is a T333 with a "cage".

The SLC ..... IS ..... a Groupe C/GTP car, besides it could be a bit before Fran can build ''the next car''. He has the/my SLC to finish, he has us all salivating over the 917 mono(rightfully so), somewhere in there is the SLR. Maybe THEN he can work on the next car.

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.

ANYWAYZ, I'm looking forward to starting my new job so I can order the SL-R from you. Still waiting for the last body to show itself too ya know...

Still would be nice to have an R390 sitting in my driveway though... *sigh* Pretty please Fran?

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