Superb construction. First finished RH drive RCR I've seen. Any chance of some internal pics, specially showing RH gear lever mounting?
This waiting for the house to sell is driving me nuts, seeing more finished cars isn't helping any either
Good to talk to you on the phone again.
Soon......

These are the only pics I have ...the owner is a quiet guy but I figured you should see his fantastic workmanship.

Hard to stop looking at it..
A couple of things that come to mind;
It does not appear that the hips have been flared - but it may be the camera angle / lighting.
The Corvette looks like a 4WD Truck alongside the 40... Having raced B/P Corvettes it makes me feel just a tad bit inadequate!

OMFG!!! That car is BAD ASS!!!! What a great job!! That goes to show that the kits RCR are providing now are even better and more complete than the car I bought 2 yrs ago. Fran should be as proud of that as the owner is of the incredible job he did on this car!!!!
The rear has been flared 2 inches each side...
Ray will be receiving the new ZF specific shifter next week along with a few other patient guys.....(the joy of vendor supplied parts.......jeez)

There is quite a story behind the tyres...
they started life as NEW Mickey Thompson vintage tread pattern tyres but Ray removed the raised MT logo by hand and refinshed the sidewalls again by hand and then hand painted the Firestone logo and pinstripe....hows that for dedication .....I seems to remember 10 hours per tyre to get his desired look....and built the car in four months,....he has already had it at a car show.....you guys amaze me!!!!!!!rockonsmile

I think Vintage Venom..Rob has pictures of one of the prototype shifters mounted in his car...I will ask
Fran, when you speak to him again, would you mind asking if I can contact him? I would like to meet other RCR owners in my area.

Saved you a dime for the call Fran. Crebit it to my tab please.....
Here is the box mock assembled, with one of the cables in place. Also mounted up the bracket I fabricated just so you could see the intention. I may have gone a little overboard on the bracket....but I know the darn thing won't have any deflection...
The last pic is of the cable routing through the frame looking forward toward the bulkhead.
Let me know if I missed any views of interest boys....

Thank you Sir....
the shift box can also be mounted by the base if required....hence the two lower tabs....
Glad to see you are paying attention to someone else beating you...other than Julie..:dead:
