Keith, So very, very sorry to hear about your health issues. You were one of the first people I reached out to when I was considering buying an RCR40 and your help and advice were invaluable. I even printed out your build postings and still use them as guidance while building my car. You built...

Randy, at the suggestion of others on this forum, instead of wrapping them in insulation I had my RCR supplied tubes ceramic coated by Jet-Hot. I wanted to save as much space in the spine as possible and the specs of the heat reduction of ceramic coating were greater than the reduction realized...

Hi Randy, I think all of the spiders come as based on the “original” GT40’s which were RHD so the wiper motor location was on the right side of the spider. That’s the way mine came. Moving it to the opposite side just required careful measuring (and a bit of trust in my abilities having never...

Adam, Have you decided on pricing yet? Chet

Chuck, I confess that I always look forward to your annual April 1st postings! ;) Chet

Nick, I got to ask....which are the 4-5 cars out of 49 that you are keeping? ;)

Fantastic progress Sean! Bodywork looks great!

Superb work Chuck! Chet

Take a look here: https://www.racingsportscars.com/entry/Daytona-1965-02-28.html Is this the race you are asking about?

Thanks everyone!

Hi all, I'm in the process of planning out my dash switch arrangement for my RCR40. Specifically what type of switch to use to move between the two fuel pumps. I was at first considering a separate switch for each but then started thinking of using either an on/off/on or an off/on/on single...

Randy...you think Minnesota has high humidity? I'm in Naples....Florida. In the summer walking outside and swimming feel exactly the same.... ;) Chet

Nice collection of tools Sean! When is the grand opening of your machine shop? I've got a G50/3 long cover ready and waiting for your opening day;) Chet

Howard I did speak with Roger yesterday and this morning. He confirmed that if I wanted to switch to the short cover I would also have to replace my shift rod with the short one. That's not a simple thing to do and involves a further tear down of the transmission. If I was having Roger rebuild...

Ben, thanks for posting the bio. When I saw his name on this thread I didn’t recognize it. But I certainly recognize the name Zakspeed. RIP Erich.

Neil, that's an impressive series of rivets! I'm assuming you used some type of template to get them is such straight lines and drill the holes so evenly spaced? Chet

Thanks Randy. I had read your prior postings as well as Sean's latest efforts and you both certainly did a stellar job on your transmissions! Finding a shop here in Naples to do the cutting (so far) has not been an easy task. Everyone I've asked so far didn't have one they would recommend for...

Is this an easy swap or a potential nightmare? According to the Porsche online parts catalog both the long and short versions share the same part numbers for the gasket, shaft oil seal and bushing. That would "seem" to indicate they can just be easily swapped (and then the shifter shaft...

Amazing work Chuck!

Naples might be a little long of a drive but the Revs Institute here is world class. I’ve been volunteering there as a station guide since 2015. Amazing collection of race cars including two GT40s and a Jaguar D Type. Great seafood here too!
