MkIV

[Jac Mac]

sir, on behalf of the civil nth island component i forward my apology for the ruff buggers down sowf

I must have blinked & missed that 'component' last time I was in the NI. Steve you could always get Fran to send a MK IV demo model down to WOW at Easter for the Car vs Chopper vs Pitts race, I will drive it if you dont think your current Dart experience is sufficient !

Damn that thing looks sexy when it's at a better ride height (the other pics looked a little tall). Nice work man!

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Thanks Chris,
here is Jason standing by...he is about 5'9"...its a little 'un alright

That was one thing I noticed when I was drawing up full size profiles of the Mk4 & P 906 bodies, how very close to one another they are in some dimensions, obviously different in appearance, but share so many key dimensions.

FIA rules ....pushed to the limits at the time...minimal frontal area was really becoming the trend.....long tails etc etc ......

The front of the Mk4 is really quite narrow in comparison to the Mk1 and Mk2's....

Fran! My best friend Fran! Now those pictures are doing your work justice!!! Never had a doubt about your product of course, but there is a huge difference between natural lighting and flourescent lighting! LOVE IT!

Beautiful job Fran. Nice work on the dash, but the model you selected to show case your work leaves more to be desired. I would suggest that you keep Jason chained up in the shop working on our cars and utilize someone with less facial hair and longer legs!

 

[Randy V]

Look at all that room in front of that big-honkin' FE motor!!!

 

[Mesa]

Sweeeet,
Yup it does look a far bit nicer ourside, that is a SERIOUS dash!
Good looking car RCR (not just Fran)

Congrats.

Fran:
About turbine wheels, since they are directional and the front and rear are different sizes you'll have to have four different wheels for one car. That out'a make for a "healthy" price.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

We have that covered.....dont worry....we have a way of using one casting and having it corrrectly multi-directional for all four corners.

 

[Mark Clapp]

Are you supplying alligator belts to hold down that rear-hinging tail section? It's so cool to see the world's only production MKIV replica, and a super one it is! Love the side cooling vents.

Jac, I think you are smart enough to figure this one out on your own. If not, I know the answer.

Does anyone else hear those rear wheel arches begging for more rubber to fill them up?

It would be tough, since the 10x15" Blue Streaks are already 26.5" tall, but maybe some 17" HA's from Vintage with 335's.....?

You boys are never happy......I am going to retire and take up knitting ...:lol:

Hey Fran, I was hopeing that the Mk 4 was one that the 17-18-19 etc rubber band brigade would leave alone too, nothins safe these days!

Fran, any chance one of these MkIV's has/will make its way across to Australia soon?

Would love to have a look up close at one.

The missus has already told me 'we are definately not flying to America to buy a car'.

Any updates on the Mark IV build? New photos? Thought I'd bump the thread. Thanks, AC
