    What's the right kit?

    Mark, Everybody gets to post one or two, as you called them, inane questions - hey, we've all done it. The best advice I ever received from a long-time member of the forum is not to be shy about using the search tool. It works like a charm, nearly every time. The right kit is the one that...

    Dutton's RCR40 Build Thread

    First Drive If a whopping two miles counts, that is. After receiving the car from RCR in early July, it was discovered that a few items slipped past their typical careful eye to detail. While some of these things really have me scratching my head as to how they were overlooked, no one's...

    What is the most historically accurate replica/kit currently being produced?

    You make an excellent point, David. It's disappointing to think that, when asked privately and offline, the finer details of the success/failure of a given make/manufacturer wouldn't be told. Those fortunate enough to have actually built (or had built) a GT40 are in a position to help the...

    Insuring a Replica during build - USA

    Typically is the key word, Dave. Like jewelry, quality art or good wine, you're well advised to confirm your coverage... and get it in writing!

    What is the most historically accurate replica/kit currently being produced?

    RJB, Once you've determined the top two or three chassis' on your list, I'd strongly suggest speaking privately and directly, if you can, with previous customers. You'll get a real feel for the quality of the product as well as how easy the seller is (or isn't) to deal with. The early-on...

    Monterey Historics 2009 track-side pics

    Beautiful shots. Years ago I learned that there's a difference between taking a picture and making a picture. You're of the latter, more exclusive group Brent. Well done.

    Insuring a Replica during build - USA

    Guys, This is such a worthwhile thread for builders, I thought it worth dusting off with a quick update. After being assured that our almost-finished RCR40 was covered by our homeowners coverage, I received a call this morning informing me that the company representative was incorrect...

    A Little Help From My Friends.

    Richard, Please tell us that by 'my final hours' you mean that the car is just about ready to drive. Right? Richard? Richard?? It's been a few years since I've done alignments but, if memory serves, there's 60 minutes per degree, which would mean that the 15 minute camber spec would...

    Dutton's RCR40 Build Thread

    Dave, It was great to finally meet you, and have the opportunity to talk about your plans to build a 40. If you’d like some company when you head into Seattle to have a closer look at Cliffs CAV, I’d love to join you. If it’s a sunny day, the ride’s on me… Allen, What a pleasure it was to...
