I wanted to ensure it is as safe as possible. The chassis has quite a bit of side, foot box, front, and rear collision protection designed into it. Not to mention the roll bar. There is a 4 point safety harness as well. The main safety concern is that light weight means that inertia is not...

Update on my SLC I sold my SLC for $102k through RK Motors specialty car consigners. After I had taken a deposit and was committed to this sale, another buyer popped up and offered me $118k. I kept my commitment and sold it for $102k. The car is now in the Chicago area. Bye Bye baby...It...

The May 2020 Reincarnation magazine was published today and my SLC is one of the featured articles. Checkout page 28 -> https://www.rcnmag.com/ezines I also attached a PDF of the article. Just a reminder that this car is for sale. Here is the ad for my SLC on -> CollectorCar.com

Yes, Tony was at SEMA with me when my SLC was a feature car there. Tony did a great job on my car, but has moved on to another (non-automotive) business now.

Here is what it looks like when the worst happens. This video shows the details of a wrecked SLC. This is the SLC that had the 3 rotor Wankel motor. I remember the build thread here in the SLC Playhouse way back. See the YouTube video ->

Charlotte Speed Shop (AKA Dents Charlotte) di the bodywork. They are no longer in business.

The three-time Formula One world champion, Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda has died following kidney troubles at the age of 70. Niki was one of the great figures in Auto racing. Not only was he a great driver, he also was successful in pushing for driver safety. Niki died too young. His...

I went to the my state inspection station renew my SLC's inspection, and the record said I only drove it 100 miles all last year. So I decided to sell my SLC to someone who will use it more than I do now. I had a great time building the car, driving it, and showing it around the country. You...

It was Tony Kutas, who owns Charlotte Speed Shop. He's doing a SLC for another client now, so he is very familiar with how they are put together. Tony can do more than just the bodywork/paint. He can finish your build as well or resolve any issues you are having. Tony's number is 980-322-5895

I'm ashamed to say that I have not even started my SLC is the past 9 months. Its just been sitting in my garage while I was heads down on my current project, the Tiger 700. Spring is around the corner here in the Carolinas, so I thought I'd get my SLC ready. I don't have any sort of Battery...

I just noticed that David Stacey just published the Gearz SLC full Episode on YouTube in Dec 2018 -> https://youtu.be/QUV_zbVDMmY

I want to do a stand alone system (vs Infinity box), so it sounds like I want to review AJ's thread. I get a "forum server error" message when I try to search for "AJ". Can you send me link... Sorry to be so needy

I'm interested in adding wireless remote control switches to my steering wheel. I remember that another SLC builder on this forum did that, but I can't find the posts. Can someone point me to the thread on wireless steering wheel switches...Thanks

I heard a rumor that a new tail is coming for the SLC. Is there any truth to the rumor?

I'm continuing my theme of recent posts on SLC maintenance. Its not sexy, but building your SLC so "its cheap to keep" is something you should think about. Today's topic is suspension rattles, squeaks and growns. I built my SLC to be as quiet inside as possible, so I hear lots of little...

Sorry I missed you Adam. BTW, I was kinda kidding about the ToyMakerz. They were setup next to me, so I got to know the ToyMakerz gang. Their shop is in Reidsville (not far from Charlotte). David Ankin (ToyMakerz shop owner) and I were 2 the first to show for an early Thursday morning...

This past weekend was the Charlotte AutoFair, one of the largest car shows in the USA. My SLC was invited to be the "center piece" of the show with all the publicity that goes with it. It was placed in the center of the AutoFair Showcase Pavilion with all the rest of the feature cars around...

Here is another method to try. I use the "Sit & Spin" method because I think its is the easier and more graceful. Graceful is important since there is almost always an audience when you exit or enter the SLC. To enter: 1. Sit om the fiberglass door threshold as far back as possible. 2...

I built a Factory Five '33 Hot Rod, before the SLC. It was a fun build. FFR is a good kit car company as well that offers good cars. In my mind, the difference is that the FFR cars are really "good" performers while RCR cars tend to be a level above in terms of being serious track machines...
