Another fuel system question I was talking with Fran and he recommended using only the passenger side tank as it’s approx. 13 gal. I think that would be fine for almost all driving occasions, even the occasional track event. If I’m building the car I want to do it once and have it work for...

Sorry guys, not going to happen in production. I've worked pretty extensively in the lithium battery world for the last few years and can tell you that price point is NOT attainable in the near future. 350F 2.7V caps are $30ish alone, then you have the LiFeO4 cylindrical cells plus BMS...

Any rcr and sl-c people out for the cruise. We are camped out in front of potbelly's in royal oak taking in the action.

Stopped up to RCR to check on the car a couple weeks ago. Things are moving along. Can't wait to see the wide body and wheels installed. Fran has got a pile of cars in various phases of build. Apparently he also bought a decommissioned fighter jet. He who dies with a fighter jet wins!

Are those installed on my car up there? Can't wait to get that thing home.

Got my 930 gearbox back from Steinel Autowerks in Twinsburg, Ohio. Wavetrac LSD, CMS side cover, and gears gone through. Great people to work with. Great communication which seems lost today.

Look! It's finally a thing, not just an open PO. Look at it's naked goodness all billety and stuff!!!!!

Haha. I did the same thing for all the same reasons. I was involved SAE projects and my own race car build in college which ultimately led to a mechanical engineering degree. I tried to get involved in racing, performance cars...anything. I ended up working at a Ford engine plant as a...

They look pretty interesting. I'll have to give them a call. Thanks.

Oh yes, I know. I've read every build thread on this site and Tom's thread at least 15 times. I'm a design engineer at a major welding company and build other vehicles on the side. The construction of the car is not a problem. There are a few parts that are not worth me recreating so I'm...

I starting the process of gathering some ancillary parts and stumbled on Cushman Competition which seems (online) to make some nice GT40 original style parts. I gave them a call... I'm a little concerned about the probability of ever getting any parts from them. Does that seem like a valid...

I'll have to say, it took me some time to get over the replica car stigma. I loved the 50's and 60's race cars more than anything modern but had NO fighting chance of owning anything authentic. Even if I did I would be afraid to use it. A lot of the stuff I researched online made me cringe...

I have read that add several times before. I read it a couple additional times hoping the listed compression dropped to a more streetable value. It never did. I have a feeling that is a little too much motor for me.

I wish I had some pictures to post. At only 1 month into the rcr order I can't imagine there is a lot to see. Maybe Fran can get me a pict of a hood or bag of hardware for inspiration.

500 Hp is more than enough for me right now. I've heard good things about Keith Kraft but have also read that it can take quite some time to get a custom build done. They will be one of the first I contact when I get to that phase.

I blame all of you for this! I sold some stuff and ordered a RCR40. Every other option was weighed and many hairs turned gray but the conclusion was a P1084 build with an ITB injected 347 ish motor and a 930 gearbox. It will have the wide front and gulf rear fenders installed by RCR with...

We got this as internal company posting. The movie builder uses Lincoln equipment and I think RCR/SL-C does also. Lincoln Electric Products Used in Need for Speed Movie

I was also there and had the chance to see the SL-C's first hand. I'm surprised I wasn't in several of the photos as I lingered for so long picking knowledge from the crew. Fran was awesome talking shop with. I picked his brain about a future project building a RCR40. After seeing the...
