Fuel System Plan - I will be using a Holley Sniper 2 Fuel Injection system on a 347 for my car. I will use Holley's ignition, coil, distributor, timing control, ect. I put one of these system on the mopar 400 in my '57 Dodge pickup and love it. Big block mopars love a lot of timing, especially...

Since it was REALLY nice here on Saturday I took a break from screwing with fuel tanks and raptor coated the front radiator support part and the rear part. I sprayed these instead of rolling on the material. They seem to have come out well. Now they are ready to go back on the chassis.

I also printed a simple alignment tool to ensure the fillers on the tanks line up with the filler hole in the chassis. I plan to use 3D printed tools, fixtures and even parts throughout my creation. This tool has an ID that matches the filler on the tank and an OD that matches the chassis. This...

It has been a few weeks since I have provided any updates. It seems job and family obligations are going to be disruptive to my GT40 building efforts. Anyway, I have been working on fuel tanks and undercoating. After a few attempts of drilling, tapping, loctiteing and plugging the incorrect fuel...

I have my chassis flipped back over and have begun working on the fuel tanks. I have been working on my aluminum welding skills, which need improvement. I have built and added mounting brackets to both tanks. My tanks will bolt in, 2 bolts on each end, through the bottom of the pontoons. My...

The fun has definitely begun. It is very hard to be patient, take my time & do things right the 1st time around.

With all of the bits and pieces removed from the chassis, I flipped it over and sanded the bottom and what may be considered wheel wells with 80 grit. This roughed it up for paint adhesion. I then painted a coat of acid-etching primer and 2 coats of "Raptor" epoxy bed liner over everything I...

I figured I could store the body on my 4 post lift & lift it up out of the way. Here is what it looks like: Fran said to hang to doors by the A pillar I supported the spider while resting on the roll bar - let me know if this looks concerning to anyone My NSX has been relegated to the bottom...

First task to get done is disassembly. This thing is stuffed full of parts. Where in the heck am I going to keep all of this stuff? First, off with the body Next, off with suspension Another pile of parts to keep track of...I hope I took enough pictures and remember how it all goes back...

Well, here we go. I order my RCR40 on February 2, 2023. In late March 2024 I received the email from RCR that my car will be ready for pick up in early April. I borrowed my neighbor's trailer, my son and I took April 15th off of work (1 day after my 50th birthday) and headed north to Detroit...

I ordered 1st week of Feb 2023 & picked up my car this week. Give them time, it will come.

Thank you for the welcomes. Once I get my car home I will start a build log, maybe next week!

Hello Everyone. Greetings from central Ohio (Granville). I am about two weeks from kicking off my next build, an RCR GT40, and am super excited. I am originally from NW Ohio, grew up on a small family farm and learned how to bend wrenches, keep farm equipment operational, build stuff and...
