Looking for bed liner guidance for the bottom of an RCR40. Project Farms has a good review of Durabak 18. My understanding is that these products once opened, must be used with a few days. The spec sheet says 75 square feet per gallon so a quart would not be enough and a gallon is probably too...

I opted for a polished stainless steel bundle of snakes from RCR. Since they are polished, I would like coat just the inside of the tubes to manage heat. Considering using Eastwood’s internal exhaust coating...

Hoping for some guidance regarding fuel cell foam in RCR40 fuel tanks. Is it needed for street and occasional track day events? If so, is there a preferred brand or type? Thx in advance.

Two questions: 1) What is the typical location as measured from either the front or the back of the spine? 2) Has anyone come up with a slider for the shifter so the position can be adjusted for taller/shorter drivers similar to the pedal slider? Not sure if the cables are capable of...

I am curious as to what the best known method is to insulate the tubes that run through the spine. Seems to be a wide variety of solutions. Hoping one or two stand out above the others. Also, are the tubes provided by RCR stainless or otherwise protected from corrosion?

While I am waiting for my RCR40 to arrive (this week, fingers crossed), I thinking about engine fitment. I have a 302/363 with a four barrel NA carb from Prestige. I ordered it with an MSD system. I am concerned about firewall clearance. So thinking to switch it out with MSD’s small diameter...

I have been watching KurbmeisterKlotz’s RCR GT40 Build YouTube videos. He shows how he moved the windshield wiper mount on the spider from the passenger side to the driver’s side. I am wondering if RCR has different spiders depending on the driver side and he just received the wrong one or if...

RCR informed me that my order is nearing delivery :) In anticipation, I want make a chassis dolly like the one pictured under my basket case FFR Cobra replica. Can someone please provide the dimensions of the main tub? Thx much. The dolly is made up of 4X4s with 6” castors. It works out to be...

I am considering adding a roof vent to an RCR40 Mk1. The more common vent is the eight louvre panel, but I noticed that Essex Wire Racing Team fielded cars had vents with a single opening. The picture below is chassis 1010. My question is, has anyone done a similar vent. If so, please share...

I have a 302/363 from Prestige Motors that is going into an RCR40 (GT40 replica). It currently has a 750 CFM Quick Fuel carb. I would really like to have an eight stack. I am hoping for guidance. The car will be used on the street and maybe track days once or twice a year. I have heard that...

I want to weld up a stand/cradle that allows for assembly of the engine, bell housing and transaxle. Some sort of arrangement that does not rely on the bell housing mount holes. Hoping someone has pictures or plans.

I have a question. When did the single taillights first appear? As far as I can tell the first gen Mk1s had the two smaller lights which were carried over to the Mk2. The earliest pictures of Mk1s with the single larger lights I can find are the 1968 cars fielded by JW Automotive. Cheers, Randy

What do you recommend for engine hoist pickups? I have seen folks using the corners of the intake manifold, carburetor mount holes, and the ends of the heads. I would like to ‘install’ the pickups because I expect to have to set the engine multiple times. Ideally, the pickups should allow for...

I am going to be building an RCR40 (should be arriving next month) and I am considering vinyl wrap instead of paint. Wondering if anyone else has gone this route. I have never done wrapping before, but based on numerous YouTube videos, it seems doable. Hoping for some guidance from those with...

Hoping for some guidance / sources for 15” tires for 8” front and 10” rear BRM style wheels to go on an RCR40. I would like a period correct look, i.e., big, bold lettering. Also wondering if there is any preference for bias ply vs radial. Not going to go with Avon or similar because this car...

I need some help. I just picked up a Quaife QBE62G for use in an RCR40. It is still in the original crate. The seller did not know if the final drive is 3.5 or 3.75. There is no label as far as I can tell. Does anyone know how I can determine the final drive ratio other than by contacting...

I am looking at this crate motor from Ford for an RCR40. I want street friendly with low RPM power. My questions are where can I get a sump, oil pump and filter setup that fits the RCR40. For the front end, it is my understanding that an electric water pump and shop made brackets for the...

I will soon be placing an order with Fran and team at RCR. I know generally what I want, but I need advise about what to include/exclude from my order from those that have gone before me. Basically, I want to be able to drive in the hill country surrounding Austin, Texas (without going deaf). It...

Has anyone documented an EV RCR40 build? After pricing an ICE setup, I have come to the conclusion that an EV build is financially within about the same cost range, maybe less. I am not interested in the Superformance Everatti. Got turned off immediately by the fake engine noise controlled by...

I hoping for some guidance on what to look for in a salvaged 302 block. I am thinking I might try to build my own 347 for an RCR40. Certainly a crate engine would be easier, but not nearly as much satisfaction. YouTube seems to favor late 90's Ford Explorers as a source. Not sure if it makes a...
