    SPF vent rearview camera

    I have a Vantop H610 Mirror Camera in my car. I put the rear camera in a Nissan Satellite Radio Antenna Mount. This thing works great! And with the rear camera location on the spider, I have zero blind spots. Low profile and not as boxey looking as the SPF offering. Rod

    Is this the correct CVF serpentine kit?

    Darius, I used CVF's Single Groove Water Pump Pulley on my engine. Got away with just a small bump-out on the firewall panel. Rod

    Is this the correct CVF serpentine kit?

    My only experience with serpentine is that the one Prestige offered me definitely did not fit. Their Alternator & A/C Comp were mounted on the RH side of the engine. The lower part of that Raptor system looks like it may fit in the engine bay, but the those upstairs components may come into...

    Randy's RCR40 MKI

    Randy & Vinny, Regarding those pipes to rear clam interference. Last year, I contacted RCR because of this very same issue with my 302/363, and showed them what they could do to correct it. It's the #3 pipe on the LH side that is too high. They asked me to return them in order to put them on...

    Raydot style window mounted side mirrors

    These are the O/S mirrors I have on my RCR40 Mk1. They are solidly attached with a 1/8" thick tapped piece of aluminum i/s the door skin. I like the look of them, but they are small and need to be adjusted perfectly to remain only minimally useful. I considered semi-truck mirrors, but...(just...

    RCR40 cooling system tube insulation

    I used Thermo-Tec Thermo-Shield Tape #13995 from Summit. Probably other sources for it as well. 2" X 50' adhesive backed roll. I wrapped it around each tube like you would tape a hockey stick. I think the tubes are stainless but someone else would have to verify that. Rod

    RCR 40 MKII Difficulty.

    Dave & others. Daniel came & visited me during my build which at the time was maybe 75% complete. He looked the car over, sat in it and asked a lot of good questions. I believe that I was open and honest with my responses & feelings. He then went home to think. Daniel is a VERY young man...

    Sean's RCR GT40 build

    Hi Sean, Everything is looking great! What are you using for attaching your windows? On mine, I've drilled & tapped for #6 screws. However, I had trouble with the fiberglass lip not being quite wide enough in a couple of areas. Lower part of the headlamp covers for one, but especially the...

    GT40 or FORD / side stripe

    I guess that with these cars it's just a matter of personal taste. What looks good to you? It's not a GT40, or a FORD GT, or even a FORD for that matter. As for me, I spent some time looking at a lot of pictures. I decided I liked the look & simplicity and just had 'FORD' put on my side...

    How far into the build before paint?

    Pat, Shortly after I received my car, I took it to my painter to have a look at it and do some preliminary stuff. After that, I retrieved it and built the car to about 95%. I put 100 miles on it recently and sorted a couple of things out. 2 weeks ago I drove it over to the painter for some...
