Thanks for the tips Brian! I like your solution also! I wanted to do something similar... but I haven't quite solved how I want to get a fuel level signal to the ECU... currently my level sensors aren't compatible with my ECU after speaking with an engineer at the sensor manufacturer. I could...

I settled on a fuel system direction. Outline below. After much debate I went with a selector valve approach. Holley started selling a valve that will be perfect after speaking with a tech. It is more complicated.... I almost just did a simple on off switch to a transfer pump to move fuel over...

Engine mounts went great. I am super happy with how they turned out. Put a light coat of black spray paint to protect them from rusting, will probably powder coat them later. I found a perfect "self-weld" kit online that included the perfect size bushings and bushing tube. It came with extra...

Wow time flies! Haven’t posted since May… Summer is a busy time with family and friends, but the body work still got mostly completed. I’d say it’s at about 90% now. My plan is to leave the body as it is now and move on to everything else. Then down the line finish up the small stuff before...

The past month was full of sanding and more sanding. However eventually things shifted to getting the front clip mounted finally! I took heavy inspiration from @Mstarkey3 for mounting the front clip in a way that lets it rotate forward. I landed on two 5/8" bolts that thread into coupling...

I'd love to hear everyone's input on electrical schematic software they have used for current or past projects. After taking a look at my options I am warming up to "smart draw" or "scheme it". Thanks!

Hey Nate, welcome to the Forum! PM sent.

Hey Sean, I am battling for a good set of tires also for R17 on a RCR. A lower profile front tire would help, but in 225 size I can only find a 45. Upping the width to 235 gets one or two options in 40 but I am not so sure about the extra width. Let me know what you land on! Nick

NT01 was on my radar as well!!

Hey everyone, Still early in my build but planning ahead for track/autocross tire selection for my RCR40. Currently have Toyo R1R's on the car mounted to 17" Halibrands. The rear's currently are 275's but are definitely a touch too narrow for the wheels. I want to move to 315's. 225's fit...

Hello Everyone, looking to get my hands on an extra set of wheels for my RCR40 to use to mount spares for track day. Anyone have a used set they would sell? Would need to be 17" diameter, Halibrand or BRM style doesn't matter to me. Nick

Thanks Randy! Also appreciate the good tip.

Small update this time... Just lots and lots of sanding. This is our first fiberglass body, but I believe we are through most of the learning curve. The rear clip is finally starting to come together, I am really happy with it. Body alignment pins also went in for the rear clip. We tried to...

This was as close as I could get the passenger side. I am happy with the seam but the wheel lip flare just wouldn't line up just right. It will need a lot of additional work. The drivers side went much smoother/better. Next up is some light body work. The curves of the rear clip are so...

January was a very productive month. Both doors mount, have hard mounted door handles, and door jambs. Pretty happy with how everything turned out. Mounting the door handles in a manner where the pin position is adjustable turned out to work great. The door handles are able to be precisely...

Sorry everyone, looks like GT40s.com doesn't want me to have vertically oriented photos tonight... I fiddled with it for about 5 minutes and couldn't fix things so not sure why I am just now having this trouble. The drivers door leading edge was very far from matching up with the A-pillar near...

Lots of bodywork getting done! The doors are hung and starting to really take shape. I am really happy with the hinges and how they work. The hinge mount that bolts to the chassis needed to be ever so slightly drilled out to let 0.5" bolts drop through cleanly. On the passenger side I needed an...

Hey Joe, sorry I don’t know who RCR’s supplier is. My wheels are 17” though.

A lot of work has been getting done. It's funny, every next piece of the body you move onto comes with a new unforeseen complication. This is a big update as all the body panels are mounted except for the doors. (If you can't tell we are really excited to have this project going finally lol my...

It was a really big day today as we got our car picked up!! We were so excited we couldn't help but leave Columbus at 5am to show up a little after 9am. Fran joked around saying "You're not excited at all, I can tell" lol. The car is home and we happily dug into it and all the parts (while...
