Hello everyone, my name is Charlie. I am a recently graduated Chiro and am slowly saving up for a RF-GT40 (hope to have placed an order with Robert by next xmas). I have beinf obsessed with the car since the age of 9 (I am 27 now) ever since my father had me watching Steve McQueen movies. In the mean time I read and droooole over your pictures and comments. I am very impressed with the degree of knowledge and level of skill displayed by the members of the forum.
I do have some questions for those in the know - reading about car set ups, braking, gearing etc I believe it is important that I get some basic fundementals - as I find it difficult to follow some of the advice written in the comments especially as it pertains to technical matters. As I will begin by purchasing a rolling chasis kit, I would like to know if any one can recommend any particular reading matter which may bring me up to speed (to a small degree) on car set up. I have literally no experience in building or even working on cars (human anatomy is so much simpler!!
). As I basically have a year to go (we are expecting our first in 1 month), I expect that I will have plenty of late nights to read and get a basic grounding. My expectations are on a car that I will basically use every day, track days occasionally, but basically a show pony with a Ford Windsor 302 in it (that ought to get Enzo worried). Essentially a show car that works as good as it looks. I realise that Roberts advice will be invaluable, though I still think it is important that I understand what I am doing, rather than follow a cook book recipe.
Your suggestion and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a happy new year.
PS - I love the pictures - they are inspirational, more please.
PSS - Robert could you get the article from unique cars up here?
