Who is planning on going to Run and Gun in St. Louis on Aug 25th to 27th and what GT-40 are you taking there ? Here is a link for event info Run and Gun

There you go Michael, swap with Bill when he gets his and everyone is happy Very nice work on your cars Fran, congrats.

Well I dont think it could hurt things. The excess flange sticking out i doubt adds any real strength to it. Maybe a nice tight box Mitch and this plate would help. I think Hersh shucked out his 016 two years ago in this way doing a burnout on a drag strip.

Looks great! I was also admiring the landscaping and drive way

Thanks Mike and Howard for your very informative post. Your info helps lay a path for us RF builders to properly prepare the area before the expert can come out to your house and install the glass or by ourselves. I don't think a professional is going to want to build up low areas with filler...

Ron you need to have faith in skills of people on the forum.If you look on here forum members have assembled there own gearboxes, engines, paint, bodywork, upholstery, chassis, and then after that can drive the crap out of the car they have built.They have designed new parts, redone huge...

Pat, as usual you can find some on eBay also,,,

[ QUOTE ] but I don't like Jerry's early blue car [/ QUOTE ] Wow Ron, can't we all just get along ! LOL Poor Jerry Come on Jerry , dont sit there and just take it !

Although I'm working on another area right now, on my car, I placed the windshield on the spider last night. I have about a 3mm gap at the upper l/h corner under the windshield. and then in the center about 5 mm at the top and 3mm at the bottom. If i place a wood stick in the car and "prop" up...

This is the reason why we really need a better manual when building these cars. From Hershals recent post that its normal to route out the area from the coolant tank to this . These things would help new and current builders avoid many headaches and lots of wasted time trying to figure out if...

Hi Jim, very sorry to hear that. The one thing comes to mind is if you flex it down a half inch, then someone gets in or out and pulls down on the corner of the roof, you already used up some of your flex "cushion" before it may crack the windshield.Let us know what path or cure you have, as...

Well I think it kinda goes the way bermuda grass grows,,,LOL It spreads where you dont want it to and wont where you need it .Here is my experience. My car was shipped in a big brown shipping container and was held up in port about 2 months in Long Beach .They had record temps that spring there...

Hi AL, if you dont know this already , the inner roof panels have a "pebbled grain" finish to them.Also RF then paints them in a gloss black. Some folks have sanded the pebble grain surface look off them, like I think Hersh has. Others paint a lower gloss . Hope this helps, If you need a pic of...

Sounds like a nice formula Bill, I am looking forward to seeing one of Fran's cars someday. Good luck

Congrats on the first big step, now like Pete says , which one is it going to be ? Since you without any doubt have asked more questions than any one before buying we wait with much anticipation !

Re: RF105 [ QUOTE ] You will be pleased to know ive called it the Dan Weilacher handbrake after you. [/ QUOTE ] Jim I hope you dont hold me responsible if it does not work,,,LOL Nice work in covering the fuel tank down tubes. I saw similar panels on the 40inches.com car and thought it a...

Re: RF105 Jim great sheet metal work and some super inovation and vision ! You must have spent a bunch of time planning and figuring out how to do it differently and make it look more like a mono. Congrats

And the rear 3/4 as it sits. The "D" panels are not shot on , nor the tops of the area above ther rear tanks. The door handles / latches are fit and have to get the aft part welded up to size before I shoot the rest on. The under side fuel plumbing is 95 % done on both sides as well.

Thanks Rolf, hope all is well with you and yours. Here is a pic of current front Dan. A/C is also hung and lines hooked throughout except to condenser.

Super job and pics . Thanks for paving the way with construction photos Peter. It helps folks like myself that are a ways behind !
