Hello Owen, Given the current lack of a complete solution for adapting an 01E transaxle to a SBF as was previously offered by RF, I would be very grateful for any technical support you could lend any of the folks (like me) that put down deposits on an (old) RF and purchased O1Es for them...

Mea Culpa My apologies Ron. I really should have been more specific. My intention was to have you lay down a thin guide coat of contrasting quick drying (laquer based) automotive primer or paint to help you get the entire body to a 240 grit sanded surface, leaving none of the guidecoat...

Thanks Rob - Great news, that will save me (us) a lot of effort! Best Regards, Al

Hello fellow RCR builders, I was wondering what folks are using for headlamp mounting brackets for your RCR-40s. I see that both Tornado and MDA list a bracket/fitment kit, and I would really like to get something OEM-ish that allows (relatively) easy adjustment. I'd hate to reinvent the...

This guy ($75) draws 4 amps and will cool to 40 below ambient: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4810828 I checked out the spec from the mfg and it takes 3 hours to get to its minimum temperature (when empty!). So with water in it looks like it would take forever and is...

Hi Ron, I would suspect you could have some cheap fun by using a windshield washer pump/reservoir on a toggle/throttle position switch with a nozzle or two that can spray directly onto the intercooler radiator. Add a little alcohol to the water to get even more of a cooling effect (i.e...

Hi Chris, One thing I was concerned about was having the cell stick out past the front of the chassis, and being subject to a direct front impact. So I might have to go with a custom ATL cell that doesn't go much past the panel with the white arrow on it in the photo below. That's probably...

I think that Ron Earp started a thread on this topic earlier this year, you may want to do a quick search. Regards, Al One thing I should mention is that I was thinking along similar lines with respect to fuel relocation. A fuel cell in the shape of a spare tire (say 10" x 25"...

Hi Ron, If you are sensitive to fiberglass grindings, I think the best thing (short of having your buddy do the work for you) is to go to the local auto paint supply store and buy some disposable Tyvek painting suits and then only work outdoors. Also stop at AutoZone and buy a box of nytril...

Hi Ben, Unfortunately it's not as simple as that. The forum is not just a set of static HTML pages, it generates the pages dynamically from a mySQL database using PHP, so the real trick is finding where in the mountain of code to dynamically generate this string for the browser, and to do so...

Thanks Fran!

Hi Folks, I came across four of these plates while unpacking the RCR which I assume are for reinforcing the rear mounts where the body attaches to/pivots on the rear extension (based on a similar shape I noticed in one of the photo's Ron McCall posted in his build thread). I have four of...

100th Anniversary of Ford celebration in Dearborn

Geneva Auto Show

Long gone but not forgotten. And yes, that's my Capri at the start of a timed session group.

Sounded fantastic!

Don't even get me started! I think I just came up with a new stripe idea. How embarassing is that? I wish I could say it was photoshop'd. Ron, if you can't find your scarf, you can borrow mine.

Absolutely. Go to your user control panel (user CP link) and look for the option shown in the attached pic. Regards, Al

Hi Bill, I found it confusing too, but basically you create the poll once you click submit, not preview. See below for the instructions in the site's FAQ. Regards Al How do I create and vote in polls? You may notice that some threads on this forum also include a section where you...
