As usual Chuck....you're all over it. Nice touch ...dialing in the gauge. Ryan is the man. That is for sure. Tell me.....what kid takes his date to prom in a friggin GT40...!!!!! Damn..! Too cool..!

Jason, In the April 14th posting you can see what I did. If you don't want the air going into that part of the body, you can simply make your modification going the other way, and send the air into the radiator area.

Damn cool man.....!

J, Thoroughly enjoying your posts. Looking fantastic. Keep on trucking man...

Allan, Lookin good. Great symmetry.

Keith, Looking great man! Totally understand about the dash concern. May I suggest being proactive and laying some towels across it as insurance. It's kinduv a natural reflex to put stuff there while working, so despite their assurance they won't do it......ya just never know. Ounce of...

Too funny Pete. Thanks for the laugh.

Chuck, You guys kill me. Reviewing your log today for the first time in a while, so didn't exactly have 4-1 on the mind....sooooo will admit (again) you had me going for a bit there. Your gags are just too thorough. Just when I'm saying this must be a prank, I realize there's a schematic...

Hi Chuck, Yep...this is an issue, especially with fuel and fire spitting webers. This is why they used the top pans back in the day.

Hi Keith, To Mark's comments, here is what I did for the gas strut. I was pleased with the outcome. It helped assist when lifting the lid, plus it was stable with mild breezes. Just food for thought.....

Hi Gents, Thanks for all the very kind words. Truly ..... greatly appreciated. She was absolutely the coolest thing I have ever built. Can't wait to get started my next RCR eye candy.... :laugh: Stuck between a 917 and SLC at the moment. I've got a little while to figure it out, as I have...

Just thought I'd wrap up the thread with some beauty shots of my finished RCR...... I'd like to thank all my GT40s forum buddies for all the helpful information/advise during the build. It was and still is greatly appreciated.

Hey.....I used the long sanding board....I could use more tools too.....:laugh: Yep...she's gone. Bitter sweet. I miss her already :sad:

Mark, Fantastic. Very nice work. Looking forward to seeing more.

Howard, Good idea mounting the belt sander. I had considered buying a bench mount belt/disc sander from Harbor Freight just to make this job easier.....but ended up doing it all by hand with a long sanding board. I think your approach used more available "grey matter". I'll follow your lead...

Fantastic progress Mesa. Looking great.
