Chet, I was at RCR this morning to pick up a few nuts & bolts for my 40. Your shiny black car was sitting there all wrapped in plastic. Ready for a new home.! Still waiting for my engine, too. 17 months and counting........ Rod

Ron, thanks for the reply. That's kind of what I thought. However, there's also some rather conflicting/confusing opinions on this forum about that. Just thought I'd ask. Hope you're somewhere nice so you can get out in a car this weekend. Sunny and 70 here in S.E. Michigan. Maybe I'll dust...

I have an RCR40 with the RCR supplied Tilton Pedal Assembly and the Wilwood 6 piston front & 4 piston rear calipers. RCR also supplied one .88" & two .75" Wilwood master cylinders. I'm also using the Safir Twin-Disc Clutch Package along with Wilwood 150-8854K brake pads. Plans for this car...

Eddy, The height of the bottom tail light on my RCR40 is 18 1/2" (470mm). That measurement is taken from the floor to the bottom of the tail light itself. Hope this helps. Rod

2 Amber L691 & 2 Red L692 from WH Motorspares

Andrew, Mine came with my kit. Fran said he had to get them from the UK. I'll dig through my boxes to see if I can find them. Will let you know. Rod

Chet, I'm in the same boat as you regarding an engine from Craft. It's been 15 months since I placed an order. They keep blaming Eagle for the lack of parts. Not sure if this an industry wide problem or just Craft's. I have a friend who builds custom crankshafts. He's been scouting around...

The attached photo shows my evaporator with the 3 outlets on top. What are the other 2 bumps for (see arrows)? I have followed the lead of some others and installed an 'under the cowl plenum' instead of the one supplied by RCR. It looks like these 2 bumps could also be opened for some...

Are others having problems getting engines from builders due to Covid & subsequent supplier issues? I placed an order with Craft Performance Engines 13 months ago and still don't have it. Email requests for an update have gone unanswered and bi-monthly phone calls are always met with the...

Phil, I like the look/function of these and just went to the McMaster-Carr site. Were they really $9.45 EACH?

Having now received our RCR40 Deluxe Plus Kit, we are now in the absolutely thrilling, but somewhat frightening command of building a car. Being 3/4 of a century old now, most everything I buy probably comes with a lifetime guarantee. And so, I won't be able to spend years on this project as...

OK, everyone. Thanks for the help. All tips well noted. I'll try to be careful. Regarding those NACA ducts in the front: Is anyone actually cutting those out and using them for something? Our car is going to be a street car with heat & A/C and no intention of ever racing it or having a...

What kind of tool(s) do you guys recommend to make the cutouts in the fiberglass body (ie. headlight openings, rear clip engine vent openings, etc.)? And, any DOs & DON'TS advice would also be appreciated. Thx, Rod

This was one of the options I decided on for the Mk1 kit I just picked up from RCR. I'm not sure where he gets them from but I like the look.

December 21st, 2020. The first day of Winter. Also the day I took delivery of my RCR40 Mk1. What a great Christmas Present! Many thanks to Fran Hall and his crew at RCR for making this dream a reality for me. And, my wife is as excited about this endeavor as I am. We sat in it last night...

Nope, not today. Although it's Monday for sure. Giving RCR an extra day, scheduling my trailer, some wet roads in the area, etc. I won't be sleeping much for the next 3 nights. Hmmm, I wonder if it will fit under my Christmas tree? Anyway we'll be posting some pictures on Tuesday.

Oh happy day! Santa Fran contacted me this morning with some great news concerning the probability of an early Christmas present this year. I'm having him do the body fitment, and the only thing left is to hang the doors. I may be able to pick it up this Friday. I'll update with some...

Chet, Congrats on your choice of the RCR GT40! And, this forum is a great resource for solutions to any question you might ask. Anyway, I hope you get your car really soon....like, right after I get mine. I placed an order for my GT40 last December and still don't have it. The only thing...

Bob, I PM'd you.
