Allan, that is stunning. How do you ever manage to get out and walk away from it? They would have to drag me away, screaming. You must just want to drive and enjoy now.
Wow that turned out great!

Went for inspection on Tuesday and after 1.5 hour inspection they failed me for front alignment and uneven braking. Took my 40 to have it computer aligned and my garage alignment front toe was off 1/8. It dialed in nicely so I took it home, cleaned the rotors and rebled the whole system. Went back on Wednesday and they checked the alignment and brakes and this time it passed. Spent 2 hours at DMV waiting in line then waiting for them to figure out how to register it.
It was all worth it when I walked out with my new plates!

Congratulations Allan!
Congratulations!!!! You worked hard on this car and now you can enjoy it. I saw this car being built.Outstanding craftsmanship,well planned and executed,incredible attention to detail and RCR couldn't have done it any faster! Stunning paint work too. You've set the bar very high,my friend! Now just remember not to nail it when leaving the garage or you'll end up in the pond! A.J.
Do make room between your car and the "driving buddies" that want to ride along side. Fortunately you can make room with a flick of your foot! Great looking car.
RCR40 wins Best in Show at Limerock
Took the trip to Limerock and got the victory cup for Best in Show in the Shelby division. 2 "new" Ford GTs, 1 ERA GT40, a ton of cobras, and original Cobra and other Shelbies, and a Tornado in the division but RCR took the cup.
(Not all the cars in the pictures were in the division)

So since my last post I decided to make a change to my 40's intake. Decided to go with the Dynatek classic fuel injection system. It took some work getting it together and then getting it running well but now the increase in power is a little alarming. Now I just have some fine tuning of the fuel tables to do, especially in the upper rpm range. Here's some pictures:
