[Fran Hall RCR]

Well its a new year...and time for the next installment of the Superlite..

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/rcr-forum-rcr40-slc-p4-mkiv/23760-superlite-le-mans.html

Final development of the Le Mans is underway and the open top SL-C will be available before the warm weather hits Michigan...:thumbsup:

 

[Juice Lucas]

Sittin' back with my :lurker:. Can't wait to see the final product.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

No need for popcorn...just a chequebook...:thumbsup:

 

[Ricardo Montalvo]

That's great news Fran. Will it have a soft top/weather boot in case it's caught in the rain?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

The car is a built in the true Barchetta style...

[Randy V]

Tell me you're just teasing us!!!!!

You know I've been holding my breath for this moment for YEARS!!!!

I have GOT to get the GT40 finished!!!

((Sporting a solid BILLET CHUBBY!!!!))

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

No its for real....just been waiting for the right time to bring it to production...street tail first and now the Le Mans...
....dont forget the spec race car too...heading to Daytona 24 HR to interview a young driver next week to potentially drive the race car for me...

 

[Randy V]

Maybe you need a really fast middle-age driver for your car?

It's going to be a bear to get to sleep tonight... Any clues or thoughts about pricing on the SL-Lemans?

 

[Alex]

Looks like you could use a beta builder for it before you start selling it - probably would be a good idea to select the most mechanically challenged person on here. Hmmmmmm, now who could that be.... =)

As an added bonus I can also make sure it's complaint against polar bear attacks and fits inside our storage igloos?

 

[Damian]

F my life.

Fran, will it be basically the same car you showed in your early photos, or are any changes anticipated in the sculpting of the body? (ala Mesa's concept below). Your early rendition was already a gorgeous car, but (IMO) some toning down of the "sharpness" would make it absolutely stunning:

 

[Mark Hamstra]

No its for real...

No it's not -- there are no pictures. :jester:

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

What is the yellow car then???...scotch mist?...as we say in the UK...sure is just a mock up with real body panels so its for real....:thumbsup:

 

[Brett James-McCall]

Fran buddy - VERY NICE!!!! So you be bringing it with you to Le Sarthe in June....

Still trying to get the GTD done to be there...

[Mark Hamstra]

What is the yellow car then???

I don't know, you tell us. I've seen pictures of more than one iteration of the yellow car, so tell us which ones are of the real, you-can-now-write-a-check-and-buy-it, final (for now) design.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

You have only seen photos of one yellow car....with the roof cut off...as there is only one...this one..as I said in the first post

"Final development of the Le Mans is underway and the open top SL-C will be available before the warm weather hits Michigan...:thumbsup: "

 

[Mark Hamstra]

But that is different in details than the photos Randy posted above, and doesn't exactly look complete. Just sayin', the real, final, this-is-exactly-what-it-is-going-to-look-like car doesn't exist until the photos do. oke:

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Best get your bum down to Michigan and have a look for yourself...you can even take the pictures for yourself too...

You are right Randy posted those pictures not me....:thumbsup:

 

[Ricardo Montalvo]

How did I miss that while I was there??

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

You didnt go in the back shop...where the clay modelling stuff is...
