Really looking forward to the books!

I assumed that HM would not want their genuine chassis plates out in the public put on other replicas and such that they had no part in.

I know there are a few reproduction chassis plate makers out there that make JW Automotive and FAV chassis plates, but does anyone make a Holman and Moody reproduction chassis plate? I have the chance to see the MKII 1015 quite often and noticed it had a HM plate and would like to get one just...

Ronnie, sent you a PM to be added to the list of signed copies. Thanks, Brenden Rhinehart

Any new pics after paint?

So would $100,000 be about right for having a nicely painted 917? A little more, little less? Now, back to the original post regarding an RCR40 budget

I am very interested in this as well...but for a RCR917. I am sure they will all still apply though.

Thanks Tom and Fran for the photos and information. Those photos show that I was mistaken about the rear tail section. Although I did know that some of the original 917s ran the smaller tires, I was curious if the RCR 917 was able to fit them, knowing now that they can with the modifications to...

Awesome pictures! The car looks amazing! I do have some questions/concerns however. First, are wider rear tires/wheels able to fit without any problem-they seem too narrow for that classic 917 rear stance. Second, is the fan shroud not able to sit down in the slot due to the height of the motor...

If one was to be able to borrow an original T44 (a long shot) how involved (expensive) would it be to make a mold or cast of the outer case? Once you have that would building the internals still be a challenge or would new parts fit into it?

Full graphics I would assume is paint as well as decals? Do plan you plan to use it on the street at all or just track? I will follow this build closely so please update often.

What options did you get(if any)? Also did you have anything changed from what comes standard to fit your needs better?

That is amazingly beautiful!!!! WOW! Keep us updated with the build!

How much power does your 3.2 have sydermike? I would love to install a chevy or ford because they seem like they aren't very high maintance compared to a porsche motor, but I was under the impression fran was only offering it to accept the flat six porsche.

K I know the car is set up to accept only the oil cooled flat 6 cyl porsche engines. My question is what years/models were these motors in porsches? Also I know it will vary from the years but what kind of horsepower did they create stock? Can the RCR 917 accept a turbo without any modification...
