Pretty Car....

[Ron Earp]

Hey John,

could you shoot some details of the firewall, dash, and hinges for the door? I'd be much appreciated if you could. Those are bits I have to fab up and would like to see how RCR approached the solution. The car is killer, I hope to see it in person one day!!!!!!!

He would but its sitting at RCR waiting for the shipping truck to take it to its new home...I will send you some pics tomorrow.

 

[Ron Earp]

How much would it cost to make it come here instead? :chug:

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

better ask John.....

 

[Ron Earp]

Never mind, if you won't take a $10 tip to get Rich to bring it to North Carolina I suppose I'll pay the $10 and get some pictures instead!

Take some pictures if you would, I'd like to see the pins on the back, firewall, and hinge/latch stuff as well as the dash. I did fold one dash with card but I didn't like it too much, looked sharp, angular, and like it'd put a hurting on you in a off.

UPDATED PICS: In shop for "adjustments" and balancing wheels..

LOLA GOES TO THE TRACK: Today, we (mechanic & crew) took RCR LOLA to the TRACK for "testing" of engine, tires, carbs, wheels, gauges etc etc.. Car naturally drew a crowd but very few folks at TRACK at 10:00AM. We had TRACK for about an hour. I got to drive after mechanic (Legends of Rio Grande-UNSER'S RACING TEAM) took her thru paces...Still need a few "tweeks" such as carbs for 6,000 ft altitude.....
see pics...

Looks awesome, John. But what's it like to drive?

 

[John Killgore]

RICHARD: Car drives like dragster. Very powerful and feels rather light in front end even with full fuel ration. Finally got brakes (all) working and now I can actually STOP. Rear-view is very limited down driver's side (RIGHT) only..a problem for street traffic. Feels like 1-2-3 G-Forces on banked track. Cool!!!

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

You need the front spoiler we made for it.....in black of course...

Sounds just about perfect.
