Continuing from a previous post, buddy Bill Tuttle has pulled together more of the rear stabilizer set up. In the pictures you will see the latest rendition of the mounting brackets, bushings and brackets from the local Nissan dealer for a 280Z. Pictures of the bar set in place without the...

Fran, My condolences to you and your family. Kindest regards, Howard

I tracked it om My Ebay, it stalled at $4K and ended not meeting reserve. Cheers, Howard

Hi Chuck, Good to hear from you. Your note sent me back into the garage to scope it out. The firewall and the door latch seem to be parallel. I had made a model of the set-up in oak and tried it out before Bill machined them. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. Howard

Another cool item Bill pulled together is an original style (MKI) surge tank. Now this is pretty slick...

Oh yeah, How about a picture of the stabilizer bar, I guess I should throw that in as well.

But wait there's more, Bill is also designing an early style rear sway bar to go on an RCR40. He has bent the bars to pretty much match the original style sway bar. Next he has machined connector links for the lower control arms and mounted them into the arms after machining some grooves in...

Waking up after a long winters nap... no not really but it feels like it since I haven't posted squat since November... but stuff has been getting done. Actually a couple of cool things I really want to show off and to thank by buddy Bill Tuttle (an RF40 owner, and all around nice guy) for...

And finally after many little nagging problems with wrong parts and poor parts, :shocked::furious::furious: I have gotten my motor in this weekend. If that's not good head food, I don't know what is. :happy::happy:

I was visiting my SLC friend Will who happened to show me his marine wiper motor ,a two speed compact unit which comes with arm and blade. I thought it was a great little wiper motor. After borrowing Will's to see if it would fit nicely under the RCR 40 dash and a credit card order and a small...

J- I did not like the idea of punching holes and bolts into the spine. So I took two pieces of 1 inch square tubing cut about 9 inches long (I can't remember exactly) that lay on top of the spin in the same direction as the spine then attached two 1 inch aluminum stock tapped cross members as...

Thanks guys, For the handles email John at [email protected]. Let him know I sent you. John will probably spot this post the next time he pulls up GT40s. If I could just make some really good progress, I would feel a whole lot happier, oh yeah I am pretty happy! I have a 40 in...

Another up grade. My friend John Schriver at Design Enterprises in Westminster MD, built some interior door handles for me. They are very nicely done. I mounted them with spring returns which work quite nicely. Mounting the handles in the door was quite an easy job. The hook-ups to the...

Okay, okay it's been a while, but I haven't quite been Rip Van Winkle. I have been chipping away at putting this car together, and there is always just one more thing that seems to get in the way, or is missing, or something doesn't fit, or is the wrong part...you guys know. I have remained...

Mike, Chuck's idea is great but illegal in the Commonwealth of Virginia (except for firemen with screaming sirens) for a driver, but you wife and dog can wear them! :laugh: Hope you had a fun trip. No blazing Porsche and road kill deer stories on the return? That was quite a story in itself...

Tractorboy, Why just something seen? In the movie it was about "doing". :laugh:

7.) Speed week at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah 8.) Riding in any of the three Le Mans winning GT40s

This thread isn't worth squat without photos. Come on boys, there must have been something at Monterey worth posting. Cars, car chics, something, it's Wednesday already, put something up besides three or four Scirocos of which only one made the trip! :furious: :laugh::laugh:

Bill, I guess you better save it for the next time the three of us meet up! :cool2: I still have a smile on my face from Road America! LOL

Times must be tough for the rich! But not too rough! :laugh:
