    Insurance before Car is Complete

    Almost all home owners insurance companies will insure the "parts" of your kit car while it is being assembled. If you have $100K in parts then you would increase the "contents" portion of your home insurance by the $100K to cover the "parts" should there be a loss. This is usually accomplished...

    Question about high speed and the handling,safety,etc...

    Dallas, I was there when his Camaro rolled several times, his was the last run of the day and he was attempting to go faster than the Ford GT. As you say he had a very well built cage that saved him. Rick

    cable shifter sacc restoration

    My GTD had a G50/52 with a Kennedy Engineered Products cable shifter (made in 1995) that shifted smooth as silk and was so good that I could do a 4 gear burn out (1st, shift to 2nd... 4th) in under 4 seconds without the car moving forward 2' (no front wheel line lock). I know that cable shifters...

    Unimaginably brutal, people in Iran

    If I saw this being done I would have done the same thing to the human trash committing this horrific act. I believe in treating all people with respect but I also believe in standing up for innocent people and animals from acts of cruelty. It is a shame that so many people witness someone...

    Road America July 2017

    Same thing happened to me at Run and Gun several years ago, a cobra in front of me down shifted to get set up to turn left into the infield portion of the track after the start / finish line and selected 1st gear (instead of 3rd), I moved left and applied brakes and watched the cobra go right...

    Rick's RCR GT40

    More fiberglass work... I did not like how the water pump "bump" was done on the rear bulkhead so I ground it off and made my own. Not only does my design protrude into the interior by a 1/2" less it also allows for a/c belt clearance. Once repainted the bulkhead will look good. I...

    Rick's RCR GT40

    Lee, The cables on most RCR right hand drive GT40's run along the right sponsoon between the drivers seat then a hole is drilled in the rear bulkhead to route the cables. I chose to keep the extra 2" of room on the drivers side (3" where the shifter box is located if placed on the inside of the...
