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...

Up for sale is a [roughly] 90% finished RCR Superlite. I purchased the car in the summer of 2020 from a gentleman by the name of Colin Dalzell who is known as Dazzle here on the forum. Copied and pasted below is a majority of his for sale post with details regarding the car along with a few...

Hi, I figured I would start a thread for my GT40 build on this site. I ordered my kit from RCR last month and cant wait until it is delivered sometime Mid January. I am excited to share this experience and hopefully get ideas/ suggestions from the group here on GT40s.com. I am currently...

Hi guys! I love this blog. I'm a design director for an OEM, but I love classics too. Other than designing cars, I love to build one myself. I'm really into buying a Gt40, and actually have 2 competitors in my mind. An RCR, or a Tornado. What are the pros and cons of both? Which one would be...

I'm trying to adjust the shift cable on my G50. Can anyone talk me through it? RCR GT40 left hand drive car. Dwight

Hi All, Selling a RCR Superlite I purchased a couple years ago as a streetable track car. Car runs and is ready to go. Absolute blast to drive and handles like it is on rails. Trying to downsize my collection and simply don't drive them enough. This car has been very reliable and gets tons...

Anyone know the part numbers for the idler and tensioner pulleys in the the RCR front dress kit? Thanks.

Hats off to Fran @ RCR Beautiful Product

The adventure has already begun but here are a few pictures of the start. The "Forty", as it's known in the garage, is nesseled between a restored 1961 Renault Beach Car, my rebuilt 1983 Lotus Esprit and you can just see the nose of a Gen V Dodge Viper, affectionately known as the Torque...

Hello. I am late in posting, as I took delivery of my “Turn Key Minus” RCR40 from RCR in January. I am in the process of completing the engine install to include plumbing oil & coolant systems, alternator, compressor, clutch, etc. Although I am not assembling the kit, for me, getting this...

Hi Everyone, The RCR MKII I got from Fran was to be a turn-key car for the previous client. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen issues the client was unable to complete the build. So I acquired the car with work already started by RCR. The client wanted the car as period correct as possible...

Hello, I have read a few written descriptions, have not yet found any good images, so thought I would ask. For an RCR GT, in particular on the passenger seat, how have you run the seat belts. The issue that I am seeing is that the holes that a seat belt bolt goes into are like 15.5 inches...

Hello Everyone I will be receiving my RCR GT40 MK2 in a few weeks. I noticed in the manual a rolling build table for the chassis. Does anyone know the dimensions of that table or a platform you may have built/bought? It looks like 3ft x 6ft. Scrolling through the manual I didn't...

Hello Everyone! I'm exited to begin my adventure building a RCR GT40. I'm very fortunate to get the car from RCR. The original owner was having it built turn-key when he had back surgery and can no longer get into low profile cars. Fran says much has been done to make it period correct...

This is a brand new "It's a Snap" wiper kit that was sold for use in RCR GT40 cars. Price is in US Funds ($150 shipped).

Hello! My first post seeking guidance from you all here on GT40s.com. I'm building a RCR GT 40 that's been in mothballs for about 10 years. It came with some great components but there are some I have yet to get as well. One of the things I'm working on right now is the engine and transaxle...
