Update for May 15, 2023. Things are progressing, still waiting on the steering rack which is preventing me from installing the AC evaporator, pedals and front bodywork, but I am about 85% done with the electrical, the ‘traverse driveways’ braces, pallet Jack wheels go on after the front...

Well, it took a bit of time, but my 917 is officially ready to ship out TODAY! Now for the truckers to give a pick up date. I’m beyond excited as I built this car about 9 times already in my dreams.

Just when I thought white was an amazing color for the SLC, here comes YELLOW! Amazing!

Let us know when you pull the trigger… would love to have a small group of 917’s cruise the Las Vegas Strip together someday, followed by a spirited drive to Red Rock!

I visited RCR in October and ordered my 917 soon after. Amazing facility, Fran has engineered a great chassis and even sourced an LS3 when ALL other sources were backed up 6 months, maybe even more! Mine will be the iconic GULF #20 livery and be daily driven in Las Vegas!

I have nearly every switch, light and accessory ordered or received, now for the cake to be baked... I'm ready to decorate! Anyone have an opinion regarding upgrading to a LSD on the transaxle IF Fran has one available before shipping my kit out?

I'm brand new here, whats Alex's handle here?

I haven’t even considered the Boxter engine and although I wish I had a shorter engine to replicate the horizontal cooling fan, it appears that the car would be abiut 100 horsepower less and about 3 grand more. Plus the LS3 is good to about 1,000 horsepower if ai decided to become absolutely...

I'm ordering an RCR 917 kit and looking for advice on the parts to make my car as authentic to the Steve McQueen #20 GULF car. Parts I'm looking for are as follows: 1. Chevy LS3 motor, bone stock (leaning towards SUMMIT RACING, but open to suggestions 2. Porsche G96.01 Transaxle (I have...
