    Old Roaring Forties Windup and Distribution?

    I got one as well. If you are worried this may be someone phishing then verify the domain on the email address as the same as you got from previous emails from them or verify the fax number. I would do it but I am using webmail at the moment and don't have access to any old emails.

    Big-Foot's RCR-40 Build Thread - "SuperCar"

    After all that work installing a starter I think I would buy one or two spares. I would hate to have that one fail and not be able to find an identical replacement.

    Enzo replica

    I saw that exact car in Knoxville TN a about 6 months ago but the seller lives in CA. Either he went for a very long drive or there are two cars just like that.

    Jonathans RCR 40 Build

    I just got my car back from the upholstery shop. They covered the center consol that I built including making the boots for the shifter and parking brake. I made the trim ring for the shifter out of a piece of aluminum plate since the size needed to be exact. I gave the shop free reign on the...

    Jonathans RCR 40 Build

    It has been quite a while since I posted an update. The car now has a good alignment. There were a few issues with some bad parts on the front end. Fran was very helpful in resolving those. I have not had time to get the ignition timing where I want it so I have not driven it hard yet...

    Toms RCR 40 Trackracer

    I finally got my RCR40 to the alignment shop about two weeks ago. The road test shows no signs of bump steer, and the roads in Tennessee are a pretty harsh test for bump steer.

    Help on Operation of Holley electric choke

    I believe that the choke relies on vacuum to take it off fast idle. Does your engine develope enough vacuum to operate the choke mechanism? Did the carb come with the choke or did you add it?

    Securing / Bolting Seats in a Tornado

    An automotive show suggested not using the same size washers on both sides of a panel. They claim that is more likely to sheer the panel at the edges of the washer than having a big washer on one side and a small one on the other. I don't know if it is true but I have seen sheet metal fail...

    I bet your leaking fitting was on the rear brake lines on the bulkhead fitting in the rear of the chassis.

    How did your Audi transaxle fail?

    John, you may have jumped to the wrong conclusion here. There is no such thing as a bulletproof transaxle. All the transaxles out there, including very expensive ones have their limits. Some have limits higher than others. Some of the ones with higher limits make other compromises, such as...

    Chuck and Ryan's RCR Build

    Have you tried fitting the rear clip yet? I think you will have problems with the mufflers hitting the clip. I had to cut a pie section from my collectors to lower them.
