Robert, You have asked many good questions but please realize that there is also different levels of completion available from some of the manufacturers. IE you can purchase a bare chassis or a roller or a completed car. And one of the most challenging aspect of the builds seems to be panel...

Did you ever sum it up...:thumbsup::thumbsup: Now all I need to do is cut back to 1 job and start working in the shop on my cars. Regards, Mark

Jim, Those tires look like Pirrelies like Tom has on his RCR. At least the tread pattern looks the same. That is a great looking T70:thumbsup: Mark

Kent, On my RCR70 they ran 2 tubes close together in the center at the roof. And at the back it is the same as the GT40. I am sure Johan has some good pictures and will chime in. On another note be sure to use tubing of a large enough Dia and wall thickness to meet any requirement. In my case I...

Turbodon, That is good info as the racing I have done does require new belts every few years but have not seen a requirement on the fuel tanks regarding date codes. On one of the fuel tank sites for aircraft that I can not rember at the moment they do repairs but I was uncertain if the tanks...

All, Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was noticing that there is a date code on the bladders and was wondering if one was to purchase a bladder tank how do you get it updated or do you have to purchase a new one? Thank you Mark

Mike Try checking with Fran at RCR as his company does both body styles Mark

Johan, Great information, This event sounds like a landspeed racing event as the spectators can also be in the pits. Should be a great road trip with lots of race cars to see. Regards, Mark

As I have never been to a road course event before what level of tickets should a spectator purchase to be able to check out the cars in the pits? And are there any age limits for children as my son will be 15 going to this event. Thanks, Mark

Welcome to the forum, What is your friends new project? Mark

Kent, Factory five uses the Lincoln set up for the independant rear under their Cobra's.

This sounds like a great event, Time to start planning for the time off from work.

Kylie, Welcome to the forum. And happy hunting for parts as there are many great vendors and also a for sale/wanted section on the forum. Regards, Mark

Ricardo, Time wise it is cheaper to purchase a completed car as the market is soft right now. But if you are short on $$ look for either an incomplete project or check out the vendors if you are looking to save time. If you are really ambitious follow Meinolf and build your own with a tube...

Thomas, I think the first question should have been are you trying to replicate an original or build a space/tube frame? Sorry if I jumped in where I do not belong, But someone needs to start this into a direction that can give him some answers. Regards, Mark

Dwight, It was 70 here in Maine when it should be in the 40's!!! All of the snow birds will want to be back home but most know that the weather will be back to the normal cold spring shortly. But for now the street toys will be out as one of the cruise nights starts tonight.:thumbsup: We will be...

Just starting to get caught up and able to post a few pictures of the GT40 as I had promissed. Yes, the driveway was still covered in ice when we arrived home from Michigan, but we must have brought the warm weather back with us as mud season is fully upon us. The GT40 is now in storage in the...

All, Have there been any updates? Loring has posted prices $250 for July which is 3 days of racing and $200 for september which is 2 days of racing. Mark

All, We had a safe trip from Michigan to Maine. Will post some pictures later in the week as we arrived home at 5pm on Sunday and 5 hours later I am at work.:blank: The weather was perfect and the old truck ran as reliably as she always does. Jim has the ultimate shop and collection of fine...

Looking forward to picking up the GT40 this Saturday as we will have a 17 hour drive to get there going the short way across part of Canada. Hopefully we will have good weather for Sat and Sunday on the return as this is the longer part of the trip. Staying in the US takes us 100miles further...
