Oh man... If I just had a little more disposable income...
But seriously Fran -- you and your boys never cease to amaze me with the high standards of quality that you put out in every car that you build!!!

Ron,
Mine is still sitting in the boxes and crates - hope to make a decision very soon on having you build it!

Very nice...but you're still not over the hump.
Still no RCR's being driven on the street yet.
When is it going to happen?
You all ought to be ashamed if Ron gets his Lola on track first !

You guys sure have come a long way in a very short time since I first saw you at Carlisle a couple years ago.

Actually Fran, I think you SHOULD offer a prize for the first street legal RCR !
Maybe an autographed jacket ??
I am ashamed for how long it's taken me to get back to work on the Lola.
I spent entirely too much time on the Terrible-3.
But trust me...Lola time is coming !

Fran,
I'm sure I can speak for the rest of the gang with regards to your recent showcase of a shamelessly red GT... how'd the trip go?
T.
p.s. Work on #27 has (finally) begun.

A couple from the show....
We had a great reception from some of the racing industries best fabricators and team engineers.....we will definately be doing this show again.
Thanks to Dean Lampe and Ray Messinger for allowing us to use their cars and be able to show potential customers exactly what they get for their hard earned.........

It was great meeting Fran and the guys at the show. The quality of the kit was even better in person than I expected. And especially loved talking with you all about the car and how the business is going. I thought you all surprised a lot of folks at the show with your product and what you guys are doing.
It was certainly one of the highlights (right up there with a visit to see Peter Olliviere) of the last several months of my temporary duty here in Florida.
Now I just need to get a second job to afford my expensive hobby and put a deposit down on one of your kits : )
Kudos on a great show display. | |

Thanks Devin...

Happy Holidays....

That car looks great!! I know this is an older thread, but I am checking out this forum more seriously these days since we had a chance to see how a GT40 felt to be in. My wife and I hope to be in a position to make an RCR 40 purchase soon.
