Darn it Fran!!!!!!

Okay - I just updated my list...

That's the list of cars that I will own before I die...

I may as well just setup a payroll deduction to RCR....

Damn, one more I have to have in the stable! When I saw the yellow one at Carlisle, I almost changed my GT40 order. I guess I'll have to do both. Thanks for helping me spend my childrens inheritance, Fran!

Brad was positioning the body on it when you were here...old age creeping in Mesa.??

If I spend all my time taking pictures..how am I supposed to make your dreams come true...?.

Yes, I remember.....but I figured my chassis might be back by now, is it still serving as the chassis ''plug'' for the bodyfitment work?

Hell, a BORG like imbeded camera would save you all kinds of time! No more pesky downloading or resizing photos. With a special wireless connection and the prerequisite attenae (think My Favorite Martian) sticking out of you head you'd be able to beam photos while going to the bank, or picking up the kids from school! Multitasking taken to the next level.....

Nope its been back in the shop for weeks....waiting for those BLOODY BIG WHEELS to show up.....which they did on Wed. and we cut the new MONGO arms on Thursday so there......:

Just you wait...paybacks are going to be great when I can harass you about how long you are taking to build your car while others are driving theirs....ouch.......

Love ya really...kiss kiss.

Blub, blub, blub wanna see pictures of my baby's chassis, toys out of pram etc etc (and I mean a proper modern monocoque not one of your old fashioned space frame thingies) Loved some of the bracketry though.

Its your fault for telling me it's in the corner of your shop...........

Best

Do those new control arms affect the geometry? Looks like all the points haven't changed. Interesting design.

I have a question concerning the billet aluminum control arms in general: How do they compare in terms of weight vs. strength to tubular steel arms that are fixtured and welded?

Why would they effect geometry?
If they were weaker I wouldn't be using them would I....????
They are infinately more accurate in construction...

They are more expensive when they become the size of the Coupe but the performance envelope is huge and with over 200mph potential and customers installing heavily tuned twin turbo packages strength is paramount.

Just because an $800k Koenigsegg or Zonda does not use our quality of parts its their loss and RCR customers gain.....IMHO.
