Recently it was brought to my attention that the rotors on my GTR kit were incorrectly drilled and not fit to be used. While trying to get the correct parts from RCR and becoming slightly frustrated with the process, I decided to educate myself on what makes our rotors such an oddity and see...

Hi everyone, long time reader of many builds here on the website. I think this site will soon become a daily read as I took the plunge at the end of May 2025 and ordered the GT40 MKI base kit from RCR. Its been a dream of mine and my fathers to build one together for over 10 years. We would...

Has Anyone talked to Fran or anyone from RCR??..I am waiting on parts and I cannot get a hold of anyone and it seems I cannot get an email back from Vicki, Fran or Bill...Bill is great but I know he is waiting on Fran and no one is responding???? If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.

I've been talking to several owners over the last few days, and all of us wonder the same thing.... how many GTR kits are in the wild, and how many are drivable? So, I thought I'd try to compile a list of all of the cars we collectively are aware of. I'd love for anyone to contribute any info...

I purchased a secondhand GTR kit a few months ago and I’m just starting my build. The person who ordered the kit had a few extra parts I won’t be using so I figured I’d try to sell them here before seeing if Fran wants them. Except for the tub, steering rack, and side scoops, I’m fairly certain...

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...
