Really nice, very pretty!! Sounds like you should be ready for registration soon?? I like your exhaust setup there with the twin silencers, how does it sound?

[Jim Dewar]

Hi Ron, The sound isn't like a typical V8 with headers, the crossover system sounds WICKED!!!
I hope the registration will go quickly since the DMV inspectors are in my store frequently checking title work etc. Have a great Fathers Day!

I second Ron's motion of totally smashing exhaust. Car is looking great. Nice shade of red.

Cheers

Jack

Jim, stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. I've always felt that a GT40 NEEDS stripes but your car is beautiful.

 

[Danny]

G’day Jim.
This is an outstanding RF you’ve created. I’m looking forward to seeing pics of it on the road when she’s all done.

Cheers,
Danny

Jim,

I love that red, what colour is it?

[Jim Dewar]

Hello Simon, It's the late Porsche Guards Red. All the glass is finally installed and I've driven 300 miles in the last week.

 

[Jim Dewar]

Finished (never) pic! Well sorted and 3k thrilling miles!

 

[Lee Patterson]

Really beautiful car. Well done!

 

[Darin C.]

Wow, very very very clean. nice job. I'm glad you switched out that edel air flow cleaner. I think it looks perfect without the stripes.

I might've missed it but any details on ordering and delivery options?

 

[Mort]

Jim,
Should have mine soon; if lucky. What problems might I expect with the inspection and titling? I only have three bills that cover everything.
Bank will have lean on Car.
How is it titled as a Custom 2007. This is how we titled and registered my BRX as a '99 Custom auto.
Car looks absolutely stunning.

Hi Mort, That is still the case, however I hear this spring new laws will change the description. I understand if a replica, it will be described as the car it's replicating. If I understand correctly, it will be a "1965 GT40 replica". Can't wait to see your car!!!

 

[Mort]

Jim,
Will we be able to change the titles to that description in the spring or once titled as custom is that it?
I can send you pictures on reg email if I have yours.
I am not to computre literate but know how to do it that way.

Car looks fantastic Jim (house looks pretty too) !

 

[Bill D]

That car is simply gorgeous! Is that polished aluminum or SSTL in the engine compartment?

[Ron Earp]

Jim, that is an awesome car!! I wish I had had time to get out there and look at it at VIR. I'm sorry that I did not make it out of the paddock area. I'm glad to hear you driving it about, I do hope to see it sometime.

I am curious about one thing - what is the titling process for NC? Lynn Larsen explained it briefly to me 3-4 years ago but I've forgotten the details. If you know of them and would be so kind shoot me an email, or better yet, do a NC thread in the registration area for other folks to share the knowledge.

Do you have any track excursions planned for it? I bet it'll do very well on track.

Best,
Ron

 

[Jim Dewar]

Thanks Guys,
Hi Bill D, It's stainless - difficult to work (like working with razor blades) - stick with aluminum!!
Hi Ron, I haven't quite finished the registration process, I will post the process for NC after the law changes this spring.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Jim,

that is a spectacular car....probably my favourite RF build .

Congratulations and well done.

 

[Ron Earp]

Thanks Guys,

Hi Ron, I haven't quite finished the registration process, I will post the process for NC after the law changes this spring.

So is something in the works for kit cars in NC? I think I remember a bunch of stuff about bonded titles and so forth.
