How far do most people recommend building the GT40 before getting it painted? I’m wondering how far I should go into the build before sending out to body shop for final fitment of body lines and paint? I assume I’ll have to take pretty much everything out when getting it painted. thanks.

As my engine build is getting closer to completion at Prestige it’s time to start shopping for a clutch and bellhousing and I’m looking for suggestions. Car is an RCR, 363 engine and ZF trans. I was looking at the Safir package. I’ve read here it’s a good package but is a smaller flywheel...

In my search for a serpentine kit for a 302 based block in an RCR gt40 I’ve come across this kit from Vintage Air. I’m wondering if it will fit? The AC and alternator are on opposite sides and they sit just below the valve covers. Any thoughts? Note that the picture shows it with the power...

What’s everyone’s thoughts about painting, powder coating, lizard skin, etc on the aluminum frame? I assume it will never be out in bad weather but do people leave it exposed, cover the bottom or do the whole thing? I like the aluminum look and would like to keep as much exposed but don’t want...

I am getting ready to order a stroked 302 engine from Prestige and have been searching for the correct serpentine system to let them know to order. Is this the correct kit? The car is a RCR gt40 MKI https://www.cvfracing.com/serpentine-system-for-289-302-351w-ac-alternator-all-inclusive/

I have a 1068 302 and a 1969 351W block. Both are standard bore. Located in Cortlandt Manor, NY. Asking $500 each OBO. Can post photos if anyone is interested.

I’ve been reading as many build logs as I can while waiting to get my car. Finally got my RCR gt40 MKI with 2” flares. it’s going to sit for a while until I wrap up some other cars I’m working on. Until then I was looking to hear from others for hints or helps, especially looking back if you...

I am still in planning stages to get my car and trying to think of ways to store the body clips while building the car. I’ve read that storing the, vertically on a wall is a bad idea so wondering what others have done with limited space? has anyone built a cradle that takes up the least amount...

In the market for a GT40 project that someone no longer has the time for. I’m partial to an RCR, and will go that route myself if I can’t find someone’s project. I’m in NY. Thanks!

In planning my gt40 build my biggest concern right now is actually the doors. I have a 2 bay garage with a 4 post lift in one and a two post lift in the other. Obviously I wouldn’t be able to use the two post lift bay because of the post in the middle of the bay, unless I had room to drive...

I recently acquired several ZF 5DS-25-2 transaxles from an estate of a custom car builder who passed away. I went hoping to get either his gt40 or pantera but they were gone by the time I made the trip. I did whoever purchase out a number of pieces from his garage u tip I filled my truck. All...

I’m in the early planning stages of my gt40 build. I spoke with Fran over at RCR and he said they can fit a 427 side oiler in their kit. My question is to people who have done it was there a ton of problems in doing it? I have a 427SO block and a ZF-2 box for it but I’m wondering if it’s...

How do we report scam accounts to admins?

I have a 427SO block standard bore that I’ll be building this winter. Looking around for parts and pieces to build it up. Would like forged internals, aluminum heads and an EFI 8 stack intake setup. Seeing if anyone has any pieces they bought and went in another direction. thanks!

Looking for a ZF 5DS-25 transaxle if anyone has one for sale. Thanks! Pat

Hello all! I finally got registered and into the forum! I am in the planning stages of my GT40 build and looking at an RCR kit. I would love if there was someone in the tri-state area with either a build or complete car so I can come take a look at it. Really just concerned about seating and...
