This goes out to everyone that has purchased and has built (or is currently building) a GT40 replica from RCR. I am interested in possibly purchasing the GT40 kit from RCR, but before I do I have some concerns that I can hopefully get answered before I make the dive. I think this forum will definitely help! I was wondering how difficult would this kit be for someone who’s only mechanical knowledge is EXTREMELY basic? (I know from my research that RCR offers 3 different packages ranging in levels of difficulty/price, so for the sake of this question, let’s say I purchase the most complete package.) I don’t want to spend all this money for the kit and start building it only to realize I’ve made a huge mistake. I don’t want to get in over my head when I could just spend roughly the same amount of money for a decent (completed sports car.
When I say my knowledge is basic, I mean I conduct all the regularly scheduled maintenance on my current truck. I have also tinkered with adding some aftermarket parts like an exhaust and cold air intake. I know that this is no where close to what it will take to put together an entire car but I figure it’s at least a start. So let me have it! Am I crazy for even considering doing this??
My biggest concerns are how difficult it is to wire up everything and how much customization is going to be required for certain parts...
Thanks in advance for all the help!
