Since this is about an RCR GT40 kit build, I will put this in this forum.
OK, I can start by admitting that I have on occasion been accused of being too project focused, with that said, has anyone every put together a “project plan” for an RCR build?
I of course have RCR’s manual and Chuck and Ryan’s book, and there is some order indicated by those in certain situations, but they tend mostly towards a very high level (body, engine, interior, etc.) Many of the build logs have certain order’s implied and maybe even with careful reading of all, one could discern some things and avoid complications.
What I am trying to avoid is the “Oh, you really should have installed the gear shift assembly before you did the parking brake, because……”. Or the “you really need to install the heating assembly before you do the dash plenum because….”. Just a little bit more granular of a plan/order.
Basically trying to make sure the assembly/fabrication/fitting order is as efficient as possible, not sure I have found anything that is quite as proscriptive what I am describing.
Some days, it is nice to say “I only have a couple of hours, I will tap the cover for the battery today rather than paint the inside of the front clip”, and you can sequence the work based on time. Other days, I look at the list of the forty things I have thought about and wonder which to do next to be most efficient.
Anyone have suggestions, or am I overthinking it and taking things apart is a better learning experience?
