    Raydot style window mounted side mirrors

    These are the O/S mirrors I have on my RCR40 Mk1. They are solidly attached with a 1/8" thick tapped piece of aluminum i/s the door skin. I like the look of them, but they are small and need to be adjusted perfectly to remain only minimally useful. I considered semi-truck mirrors, but...(just...

    RCR40 cooling system tube insulation

    I used Thermo-Tec Thermo-Shield Tape #13995 from Summit. Probably other sources for it as well. 2" X 50' adhesive backed roll. I wrapped it around each tube like you would tape a hockey stick. I think the tubes are stainless but someone else would have to verify that. Rod

    GT40 or FORD / side stripe

    I guess that with these cars it's just a matter of personal taste. What looks good to you? It's not a GT40, or a FORD GT, or even a FORD for that matter. As for me, I spent some time looking at a lot of pictures. I decided I liked the look & simplicity and just had 'FORD' put on my side...

    How far into the build before paint?

    Pat, Shortly after I received my car, I took it to my painter to have a look at it and do some preliminary stuff. After that, I retrieved it and built the car to about 95%. I put 100 miles on it recently and sorted a couple of things out. 2 weeks ago I drove it over to the painter for some...
