Bryan's RCR40

[bryanf]

Today I placed my order for an RCR40 MkI LHD with double nostril.

Some of the parts I plan to use include:
Craft 347 Ford small-block
Quaife ZFQ transaxle (2.533, 1.619, 1.200, 0.929, 0.742 + 3.75:1)
Halibrand wheels, 15x8 and 15x9.5
Avon CR6ZZ tires, 215/60-15 and 295/50-15

My design priorities:
Simplicity
Lightness

Nice 510. I had one in my youth that was a ton of fun.

Got some photos from RCR today. My first view of a beautiful chassis that I will be spending a lot of time with very soon.

That's going be a nice project Brian, congratulations!

P.S. That red SLC in the background with the scoops behind the doors on top of the rear clam looks like a cool body mod too.

Looks great Bryan! I ordered mine in the beginning of June so I'll be really interested in hearing how your build goes.

Thanks James! Yes, it was about 17 months, including a delay due to closing for the pandemic and other delays which weren't necessarily the direct fault of RCR.

Thanks so much, Keith. Yes, it was like unwrapping the best birthday present I ever got.
