Congratulations. What a fantastic way to start the new year!! Please tell us more, Have you driven it yet? Even a little? Pictures?

This looks colse, but is it real?

Howard, Super job!! Where did you find that clamp/bracket combination? It looks considerably stronger than the clamps typicly supplied with pumps, filters, reservors etc.

Klaun, The solvents in the gel coat are melting the filler. The solution is to use an epoxy primer over the fiberglass and filler. The bond is more physical rather than chemical thus requires good sanding prior to application. After it cures it will be inert and resistant to most urethane...

Wow bill After it is attached with the JB, sanded, primed, and painted I don't think anyone would be able to tell its not a bead roll. Looks great!!!

Jay, Don't worry. It is not uncommon for the fiberglass to curl after it comes out of the mold. Just force it into place. Hold it there for a while and it will retain the shape. The fresh resin is quite fluid and will give over time. For example you may find the rear lower corners of the...

Looks good Bill You are clearly going where no man has gone before! (at least on an RCR build) I hope you will be flattered when I copy some of your great ideas for my build. I was in West Marine a few days ago and noticed aluminum rub rail for boats. I will be looking for some that is not...

AVERT HOAX Notice!! McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX. This email message is just a HOAX, currently we know of no other message that the user will receive about the HOAX as the initial email states. AVERT has not received any report of a user's hard drive being...

Very nice! Congratulations Bill! What size/brand/model tires are in the back? They look perfect in the above pics.

Hi bob, Very much worth the wait! I like the proportions of these wheels. Other attempts to create 17" BRMs resulted in thick rims, or long thin center "spokes" that just don't look quite right. Yours have a nice balance between the two. Looks like 15s on steroids. Thank you for the hard...

Ford had a similar problem in the 80s with vans that had a fuel fill entering the side of the tank. This allows air to sit above the fuel and become pressurised as it and the fuel become warm. After a number of fires they had to recall and modify. I would add a vent to atmosphere on top front of...

Hi Simon' A few questions about your system: Is the fill tube attached to the top or the side of the tank? Does the tank have baffels that are closed at the top? I doubt the problem is due to venting, as the air should be above the fuel and therefore should exit the fill tube and...

Thank you fran Very nice part. For the past few monts since i recieved my car, I have opened a number of boxes with expected parts, upgrades,and unexpected surprizes in them. Just a few weeks ago I recieved the ZF shift mechanism shown in this thread...

Update on wheel delay? "Wheels will only be available at the end of August" " We know many RCR customers are affected by this delay and we will be drop shipping the first batch of wheels to Fran as soon as possible." OK, the end of august has come and gone. I am one of those RCR...

No numbers are stamped on the chassis.

A club sounds like a great Idea. For some reason here in the US we don't yet have a GT40 club. There are at least two in the UK. Would be a great way to organize meetings, shows, cruises, and just meet others with the same passion for the GT40. In addition some of the specialty car insurance...

I like Greggs Idea if the software will allow. Otherwise I would also prefer to have the thread only available to the builder.

Kristian, At first I thougt you were crazy for asking such a question, but after reading some of your other posts I think I understand. Here in the United States a personaly constructed vehicle only has to comply with basic regulations (Like having headlights and wipers) The person...
