Hi All,
New member here strongly considering an RCR SLC build. Since the car caught my eye on GEARZ, I've been obsessively researching this forum site, ebay and others trying to collect some information. In short, I'm smitten.
Last time I was so enamored, I ended up building a high-powered, light weight early, wide-body (1971) 911. I'm proud of the effort. It ended up being featured in Excellence magazine after my first iteration. I'm on Generation 2 since adding more power(271 rwhp 3.6L), better brakes (4 pot brembos), LSD and updated the chassis. The sale of this car would offset some of my build costs.
From that project, I realize these cars are never done and would apply a similar approach to an SLC build. I'd build in stages.
Initially I'd plan to polish the gelcoat, maybe do some simple stripes and just drive it. For interior, I'd insulate, use the A/C and install a very basic carpet kit. I'd expect to use the car for limited street driving and 3 or 4 track days / year (DEs).
Anyhow, is this budget practical to get me to a completed road-legal vehicle?
What am I missing?
What are approximate insurance costs?
Maybe more importantly: Where could I save some $?
Thank you very much,
Doug
