Yes it will be. We are just waiting this time for Fran to let us know when to fly back out for the final inspection.
Flying out to DTW and RCR
- Thread starter Allen English
- Start date
Update pictures from Fran
Here are a couple pictures of our car at this point. RCR is doing a very nice job and making sure to get my details all in place like I want.
Thanks for the recent photos Fran, they look great! :thumbsup:

Stripes look great! Love the black borders!
Thanks
Allen,I should be going out to check progress/final inspection of my car sometime after RCR comes back from vacation next week - if all goes well with the car and my hospital procedure later this morning. I'll be busy as my schedule is tight but I'll try to snap a couple photos for you. Mark @ RCR has been doing some excellent work to complete the car to the point it can be shipped. I love the color on your car and it should go very well with the dark centered wheels. I'm told yours is the next 40 to be finished - I know the wait will be tough, but hopefully done soon! Mark sent a link to several pics which I will be posting in a 'finish' thread but will include a few here. Wheels are RCR shop's. I will start out with 'natural' Halibrands and judge how much to black out after.

Hi A.J.
I hope everything went well with your procedure - what did you have done? Hope your OK and we wish you a quick recovery.
Your car looks great and the color really pops in the sun. It will look awesome with your wheel choice. What a difference two months can make in a car build, it sure beats the heck out of the lawn shots?

It's TIME. Flying out from New England tomorrow to inspect the above pictured car. In the words of David Crosby, "It's been a long time coming..." but finally taking shape in the skilled hands of the RCR crew. It will be a short, hectic visit so I don't know how much info I can absorb,or retain, about all the cars you guys have there being built. I wil try to take some photos and get some updates for you if time allows. Allen English's car and some others should be progressing as well. I have one eye temporarily out of whack (no,not the middle one) so just getting to RCR will be an adventure! A.J.
A.J. , We are looking forward to an update on your car progress. I would imagine that if yours is finished or darned close to it that mine will be next.
Post lots of pictures of your visit when you get time.

It's 4 AM and I home now after getting stranded twice - once in Detroit an hour from the hotel with no car to get anywhere.That followed a 4 hour delay at a changeover with 2 of those hours sitting in a commuter plane on a taxiway going nowhere. The RCR crew rescued me Thursday morning (thanks,Scott, Mark and Vicki) and got me to the shop. Great tour of the facilities and cars at various stages of completion. Also got a brief tour of some motorcycle exotica like a $75000 Ducati and others. Great crew at RCR,very talented people. Discussed finish details of my car with Fran and got to see some customer cars. That was the good part and then the Trip from Hell resumed with US Air stranding me AGAIN,this time in Philly, by cancelling the final leg of my return flight. Managed to get a flight into another city and forced US Air to provide a taxi ride($111) at 1 am across the state to the original location.

Hi A.J. - Good to see you made a successful trip. When I take a flight I always go for the non-stop as they tend to be alot less of a hassle. Hey, it does look like they have your drivetrain installed and your car looks like it is coming along very nicely. The wheels look great too! B.T.W. check out Dutton's pick below. Tim had Fran make interior hold down pins for the rear body that when pushed all of the way in becomes almost invisible. I emailed Fran that I wanted this done also. Not sure what it cost, but Tim highly recommends it.
P.S. Thanks for posting pics of my car and engine. That's the stage of the build I would have liked to of seen it in when I flew out to RCR. I see they were installing my back window and progressing on it nicely as well.

Cool trip :thumbsup:
I wonder whose the white one is. Is it mine is it mine is it mine (Alex)?
Great pictures for sure A.J.
That must be the finish staging area that your car is in. When Liz and I were there that's where DUTTON's car was.

MY CAR!!!!!!!!!
Should be here next week.
Dave - I am looking forward to seeing another SL-C build. I want one some day too. In fact prior to my RCR40 purchase Fran and I had been discussing a SL-C purchase.
Dave - Could this be your car from when I was at RCR?

That is supposedly a short English ex-pat and I'm not sure who the other guy is. In any case, neither of them look like my SL-C
