Hi Folks, I have been informed that a number of the "Missing" Roaring Forties GT chassis manufactured in South Africa (along with the parts required to partially complete the cars) may have arrived at the new Roaring Forties Australia, possibly including chassis #129 which I personally lost a...

OK, not really - but I have been using the paint shop in Forza II to get an idea of what my car will look like when I finally paint it. I know this is a Mk II, and I have a Mk 1, but there is no Mk 1 in Forza II :-(. On the Xbox display the car is actually white, so I need to work out the...

Hi Folks, Having never worked on a pull style pressure plate before, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the clutch release bearing is supposed to be retained to the pressure plate on a 930. I have seen a few photos that show a snap ring and a set of washers that appear to be used to...

Hi Folks, Most of you are probably wondering what is "Folding @ Home" and what does it have to do with GT40s.com? Folding @ Home is a distributed computing project being run by Stanford University that is attempting to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases like...

In case there are others out there like me with a crowded garage that need a safe place to store their windshield while working on their RCR-40s, here's a pic of a small crate crate I built this morning that conforms to the shape of the windshield. If you take a piece of 1/4" x 6" pine...

eBay Motors: Audi 01E/O1E 6 Spd 2WD transaxle GT40 Lola ZF 930 NR (item 130095146423 end time Apr-06-07 18:59:18 PDT) Hi Folks, It took a little longer to list this than expected (and to build the crate!), but this auction is for my 01E which was intended for my RF40 that never arrived...

Hi Folks, As a heads up, I plan to put my 01E up for sale on Ebay sometime later this week. I will update this post when it goes up for auction, but here are the details: - New 01E six speed transaxle (Audi factory new, never installed) - Code FRK 31:8 final drive (3.88) - New Quaife...

Hi Folks, Like Ron Earp, I have recently decided to replace the Audi trans I have been planning to use in my RCR with a Porsche 930. This was a hard choice, as the 6 speed 2WD O1E I have is Audi factory new with a beautiful right hand shift modification & new Quaife install done by Jerry...

Ho Ho Ho, I was at Target earlier in the week and I found all of these in the toy section while my kids were buying more Nintendo Wii games... they could not understand why I would care about a toy that does nothing more than roll. :) The Gulf Ford GT is from a Matchbox blisterpack...

Hi Folks, I'm wondering what you may be using to do your final attachment of the lower edge of the rocker panel to the corresponding flange on the chassis. As RCR-40 owners probably know, the arrangement is the bottom edge of the rocker is above the flange on the chassis, and access seems to...

Thanks, Al

Hi Folks, Does anyone know what these five holes on each side of the rear bulkhead are for? Best regards, Al

I would post this in the RF owner's forum but since I'm not one, I'll put it here for now. Attached is a nice reminder I received from the new RF today. Dear Owen, With respect to me be registered as owning Chassis 129, I can unequivocally state that this is incorrect. That's not to...

Hi Folks, Can anyone comment on the typical body gap size(s) that the original cars had? I realize they are probably all somewhat different (and may be different across the deck,hood and doors), but I am just looking for a general target. Looking at the original photos I have available...

Hello fellow RCR builders, I was wondering what folks are using for headlamp mounting brackets for your RCR-40s. I see that both Tornado and MDA list a bracket/fitment kit, and I would really like to get something OEM-ish that allows (relatively) easy adjustment. I'd hate to reinvent the...

Hi Folks, I came across four of these plates while unpacking the RCR which I assume are for reinforcing the rear mounts where the body attaches to/pivots on the rear extension (based on a similar shape I noticed in one of the photo's Ron McCall posted in his build thread). I have four of...

The scent of freshly ground fiberglass is in the air. For those of you that have visited RCR or a Corvette restoration shop you know what I'm talking about. Here are a few shots of the delivery of my RCR-40 this morning (It left Fran's yesterday). With respect to the delivery itself, I was...

Hi Folks, As I was reading through the various processes available in Illinois to get my RCR registered/plated etc, I was wondering if your cars came with a chassis number stamped/NC'd in to your chassis somewhere. I would ask Fran but I'm sure he hasn't slept all week getting ready to wow...

Hi Folks, As you can see in the maps that have been added to the top of the "Worldwide GT40 Events" Forum, our Lola Frappr map has only one lone entry, and that is Ron's. If you have a Lola please feel free to add yourself to the map - it's fast, easy and free. Also note that if you click...
