Unpainted/gelcoat P.R.I. R C R Show Car
This is a customer car that we have down in Florida for the PRI...

It is unpainted and as such has had ZERO bodywork done...the doors are not hinged just resting in place.....

We buffed the gelcoat , you can still see the parting lines if you look closely.

We installed stock parts that come in the Deluxe plus kit....for $41,995.....nothing special at all......


This car was built from scratch in 8 days by two RCR techs.....Jason and Mark

We do our own in house decals...and they will be kits available to replicate almost any original car early in the New Year...

Check out the headlight decals.....just what you need for a track nose...no wiring/glass parts..

So what do you think?????

Looks great Fran! Definitely the way to go for a race car. Why add the extra weight of the paint when you can buff out the gel and Stick on some decals. I was wondering when someone was going to do this on a race intended car.

Nice decals too BTW.


Your product is simply awesome.

Lookin' good.

I am glad to see that the car is coming along so fast! I guess you could drop it off at the house on the way back from Florida!

All joking aside, You have done an amazing job!

I will be patiently awaiting the finished product. Have fun in Florida!

Re: Unpainted/gelcoat P.R.I. R C R Show Car
Hells teeth, Fran, that is stunning. And better finished, I would guess (haven't seen either) than an original GT40. I think this captures the essence of the GT40, which was a race car after all, modified as necessary and practical, not a concourse finish luxury performance car.

I'll have mine in red also, thanks. Don't worry about Gulf colours in the gelcoat, I'm tired of Gulf colours.

Very nice! If you're tracking the car, why not use the gel-coat as you
mentioned. You guys must have been in a hurry ( note: sticker tires ) !

Thanks!
