When I initially ordered my RF, I was apprehensive about sending what to me was a large sum of money out of the country. And that was to a company that had already produced dozens of cars. Even without the recent "Robert Logan experience", I doubt I would have considered ordering a car from a...

Hey Ron, I think that you will be there forever with 1000 or 2000 grit and it will produce a surface finish far finer than required. A strip of wet/dry 800 grit paper (used wet) pulled around the crank will get you very close to the RA (say 10-12) of a new crank and will knock down any high...

Thanks Jonathan, I'm sure you will love your car. It was the only RCR-40 I've seen in red gelcoat and it really looked mean at Fran's last week. Be sure to have plenty of room for all of the parts when it arrives. Fran packs that thing like a TARDIS, so you need a lot more temporary room...

The scent of freshly ground fiberglass is in the air. For those of you that have visited RCR or a Corvette restoration shop you know what I'm talking about. Here are a few shots of the delivery of my RCR-40 this morning (It left Fran's yesterday). With respect to the delivery itself, I was...

You may want to consider Prothane (P/N PTP-6-503-BL) mounts for 67 Mustangs. Most motor mounts for early Mustangs are now made in China and are of questionable quality (I have broken two such mounts in my V8 Capri). Especially true if you are buying them from AutoZone et al. These are...

I'm with Julian. I put the cover on my car and then wrapped it in 1.5 foot wide cling film (clear stretch wrap) from Staples/OfficeMax. Looks like crap and kind of a pain to put on, but it will stop the small stuff from causing damage. Distance = between Chicago and Road America - about 150...

Thanks RCR! Hello my fellow enthusiasts, Since my RCR-40 is going to be picked-up and leave the nest on Monday, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Fran & RCR publicly for the outstanding customer service I've received since I met Fran a few short months ago. Sure, I know he's in...

Last for now.

Almost done... If you're wondering why I included a picture of the Mustang at Fran's shop, it's because I dig the color scheme - just like my Capri!

Here's few more to look at for the folks that are now in the process of booking their travel to Detroit :-) Regards, Al

Hi Folks, Jerry Jansing emailed me yesterday and told me the RF kits used the same starter for both the five and six speed setups. Jerry said he is checking with some contacts in Australia to see if he find the original vendor/pn of the flywheel. I have a list of all of the vendors that...

Mark/Ron: I think the car you are referring to is Tim's (user id "Roaldin") and his car is described in this post: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13931 Flatchat: Let me know if you have talked to Jerry Jansing about what parts were used in the RF setup. If not, I can give...

An RF legacy indeed! Has anyone actually taken delivery of an RF with a complete 01E adapter kit from my pal RL? If so that would be a place to start with respect to sourcing an appropriate starter/flywheel. In anycase, since I have $6K tied up in my new 01E/Quaife, I greatly appreciate...

Here is 1049 in a similar scheme. This is the only "Gulf" car I am aware of that does not have full flares. More info here: http://www.grandsportcorvette.com/gt/1049.htm Regards, Al

Another 01E taker Hello Flatchat, Fran is supplying the 01E-SBF adapter plate with my RCR40, but I will need to purchase everything else to adapt the O1E to and SBF. I'm guessing that the adapter plate Fran has made needs to be a specific thickness to work with the offset pilot bearing etc...

Hi Adam, Are you referring to the four silver caps as shown in the attached photo of my 01E? Regards, Al

A couple of photos from RCR Here's a shot of my RCR40 which should be picked up early next week and Ron's Lola, which should also be ready to go very shortly. I can't wait to get it in my garage and sit in it for a day or so!

If I didn't know better I'd think they were screen shots from an Xbox driving game! Regards, Al
