Mark, Welcome to the forum after you study those books I may need to borrow them. There is a lot of knowledge to be learned from studying the old posts. And thank you for helping out in the shop the other weekend.:thumbsup: Mark Maybury

Jason, What about instead of changing the radiator just adding a larger oil cooler? As the oil has a lot of heat put into it and if you remove that heat it should lower the engine temps. I know that is not using that space above the radiator but may be more cost effective than a new radiator. Mark

Sounds like Alex needs a trip south of the border to a race track or maybe to Fran's shop to thaw out. On second thought maybe I am the one that needs to go south as all of this white stuff on the ground is getting really old really fast:cry: And we have more of it arriving today:sad: Mark

My personal favorite trailer is a flat open trailer with one axle. I put my money in the toys not the trailer or tow unit. On the left is my son sitting by my new RCR70 when we picked it up at Fran's behind my old Cummins powered 1 ton 4X4 1985 Suburban. Fran must have been laughing when he saw...

Bill, Those are a great pair to have. Jim, Will send you a PM as I am sure there will be many things to find along the way. Mark

Randy, Thank you. I am having a hard time waiting to actually see Jim's GT40 in person as many people have stated that it is very well done. This will be a challenging and fun project to finish re-creating an original looking GT40. Another challenge will be getting insurance on this as I am...

Olf59 Great pictures :thumbsup: Thank you Brian, I will send you an Email Thank you Mark

Hello, My name is Mark Maybury. I am in the process of purchasing Jim Dunham's GT40 project. Currently I have a FFR Daytona coupe that is set up for landspeed racing and one of Fran's RCR70s that I really need to get back to working on. This forum will be of great help when the time comes...

Sorry to drag up a really old thread but on one of the continuation cars I saw this picture of the Lola door hinge. Does anyone know where Lola purchases these door hinges? Regards, Mark

Seth, I have a bunch of Snap-on tools in my box they are of great quality. The problem is that to exchange them you have to find a dealer. Finding a dealer is easy if you owe them money but when you do not have a payment good luck exchanging the broken tooling. I know others will have thier own...

RM, Hope to met up with you at the land speed gathering in Conn. on the 13th. Regards Mark

Rm, Hopefully there are some more racers out there. And keep us posted on the other events. Regards, Mark

Mesa, The big question is for those running the SLC. Has RCR produced 50 of those bodies? If they have then I think they can compete in the Modifed Sports class for the land speed racing part of the event provided safety will tech the cars for a high enough speed, like 200+ Because being limited...

I have studied the rule book and if there have been 50 bodies of a particular model produced I think you can compete in the Modified Sports class.:thumbsup: Now to find out if Fran's suplier has produced more than 50 of the RCRT70 bodies? Looking forward to seeing a bunch of these fast rides for...

Keith, I have not gone to the salt flats myself but few members of of a ar club I belong to have raced there many times. Their words are if you are thinking about going then go and experiance it. The pits are open to the public but you can not see much of the track as it is 7 plus miles long...

Just rember, The land speed racing guys are there to have fun and go really fast. As our only competition is actually the track and wind resistance.:lipsrsealed: The second is the worst. RM I am T70MK3B on the FFCars forum and there is a post in the coupe section on loring for those who are...

This track is super smooth and really wide. I raced on it twice last year. The biggest items are safety, SAFETY, and more SAFETY. You will be limited to speed by safety equipment. Study the rule book as my car is limited to 175MPH for now. And just a hint Sunday afternoon is hot lap time for...

I frequent the FFCARS forum as I race a Factory Five Coupe in land speed events. And also the H.A.M.B board (jalopy journal) as Iam building a full custom 52 Chevy sedan delivery for my wife. Mark

Michael, This info is a little bit late but Factory Five has developed their own transaxle that will bolt up to a small block or LS series chevy. Regards Mark

John, Welcome to the forum from another RCR owner. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site. Regards Mark
