Hello guys,
I've been contemplating a build of an RCR 40. I currently own FFR MK3.1 Roadster #7072 and FFR Type-65 Daytona Coupe #503. I have exchanged a couple emails with Fran about building vs. buying a turnkey minus car. I feel I will probably end up with a build.
That being said, I'm 6' tall and currently around 240 lbs (on the way down). I'm broad shouldered and wide hipped too. I'm a tight fit in my Coupe and am in the process of modifying the seat mounts and lowering the seat directly to the floor to make it a little more comfortable. Also, I have considered the RCR GTR, but I really want the vintage looks of a MK1 Gulf car.
Are there any RCR 40 owners here in Austin or anywhere around Central TX that wouldn't mind having me visit you and just sit in your car/ ask you a couple questions? I wouldn't mind if you offered to take me for a spin too!! I'll be glad to buy you a beer after! I just need to make sure I fit in the car and that it is something I really want, before I end up dropping six figures on this build over the next year or two.
I'll be grateful if there is someone! Fran - any suggestions, Sir?
Ven
