Ron, Keep an eye on www.race-cars.com. It's a great source for both cars and parts(F1 to spec racers). I've seen a couple of LG600s for sale there, in the past. They always seem to have a big selection of Hewland gearboxes in the classifieds. There isn't an LG600 currently listed, but they...

CAV's DON'T have secondary fuel caps, only Monza caps?????? Not good! Add them, if you haven't already. It wouldn't take much of an impact to pop a Monza cap open. See photos above! It's hard to believe that in this day and age, that some form of inspection/road certification in SA...

That's the one Brett! I don't remember the exact speed of this test. Wasn't it 60MPH? I'd love to see a close up of the gentlemen in the background of the photo. I can imagine a look of slack jawed shock on every face! I wonder who owns (or claims to own) this chassis today...

I'm not sure if they were contained in the thread mentioned above, but there were some photos posted a while back of a front end collision test (done by Ford), where "fuel" flew everywhere, due to the front tires crushing the front of the sponsons, compressing the fuel in the tanks very quickly...

Ron, Baby powder, gloves, and Tyvek suits are a must. If you get glass dust on your skin, pat yourself down with some duct tape. The adhesive will pull the glass off, without rubbing it in. It'll pull a few hairs too, but it's worth the reduction in itch. Always wash your hands, arms, and...

Very sad and sobering news indeed! It was only a matter of time before a tragedy like this hit our little community. It's so easy to forget how dangerous this hobby/sport can be. Fun, one instant, horrific, the next! I hope that everybody willl learn from this, and try to be more...

I'm not big on choppers, but that's one sharp Gulf representation!! The "knock off" rear wheel is a nice touch! I wonder whether it's 40" high too? Bill

Colin, I was wondering where you have been hiding...... 1. At what speed, what gear, on what sort of downhill grade, is the car getting squirrely? 2. Don't say that I didn't warn you about the SDS setup! They can be a bear to tune. Wayne Presley(Very Cool Parts) can tune an SDS ECU...

Try this and prepare to be humbled! http://www.richstevens.com/flash/iq.swf

Re: Check Out These \"Enlarged\" Vintage Wheels Bill, Looks like they did a great job! Re-balanced, I hope!??? Bill

Charlie, Last time I looked, a pair of rear uprights from GT40 Australia, was $1000AUD +or-. Bill

On a related topic... For those who haven't run across this problem yet, a word of warning....wash water on a HOT, ceramic coated exhaust(e.g. dripping through the rear clip vent) will leave water marks on the ceramic coating, which are a ROYAL pain to remove...

Oliver, Unfortunately, not everyone sees something like this coming. The following "lesson" would seem to apply here..... Perhaps you were aware of thr RF problems because something similar happened to you in the past. Johnny wanted to screw a girl in his office, but she had a...

Bill, Could you paint from the outside of the beveled edge inward, and polish from there to the rim? Just a thought. Bill

Pete, A close up shot. I forgot to mention that household A/C filter media is typically white. I dyed mine with black ink. I hope you came through that storm OK! Bill

Pete, I made my own filters from 3 layers of household A/C filter media. The filters are held in place by a combination of a tight fit,vacuum, and finally stainless screen panels. I manufactured the gaskets from 1/4" vacuum hose, slit lengthwise, wrapped around the edge of the screen, and...

Re: Public update on current RF legal activies $50 sent via PayPal. Hope it helps! Bill

Ken, I'm not sure that you had to go all the way to Australia for your manifold. It looks virtually identical to a crossram manifold, built in house, by TWM in California. Very nice, no matter where it's from!!!!!!! Just curious...will you need to trim the fiberglass around the induction...

For those builders thinking if using a G50 there's one currently for sale on ebay that you should check out. The seller has machined the front of the bellhousing completely off, shortening it by quite a bit(3"+). It is mated to a Chevy small block, uses a standard Chevy starter/flywheel, and the...

I'm very sorry to hear of your plight, guys! Keep your collective chin up. It may take some time, but I think you'll come out of this in one piece. CAV came through a "gray period". Let's hope that RF can do the same, for all of your sakes. You can speculate on the cause of RFs financial woes...
