Tom T's RCR40 Build

[Tom Tomlinson]

With my wife, Lona, and I this begins our Thread to share with all the build of our RCR40 Mark I. Our main helper will be my 13 year old son, Damien, with, I'm sure, occasional support from my 14 year old daughter, Brianna.

The car is right-hand drive and shift, with the doors and 2'' rear guards "factory" installed by Fran. With the 302 SBF, probably topped by a 4B Holley, I'm considering using a G96, although always open to suggestions.

The best part is that the RCR40 was loaded yesterday in Michigan and it's on it's 2,400 mile journey to Murrieta, California.:thumbsup: The attached pics were taken by Darin (thank you!) at RCR yesterday. The pic in the trailer is to better show the 2" guards. I'm using United Road as the carrier as they have been trying to get with RCR so I thought I'll be the test.:uneasy: I'll report on how they do.

We're possibly buying a new home nearby so the build will, at best, start slowly, but I'll keep all informed.

Tom,

We are practically neighbors. I am in Canyon Lake. Glad to hear that another GT40 will be in the area. I ordered a SPF MK1 and it is shipping this week also. Should be completed and on the road in the next 2-3 months. Good luck and enjoy the build.

Thank you both!

MMurphy, I run Castle & Cooke in Lake Elsinore, we should get together and discuss our mutual interest. Since I'm 9 months plus to get to where you're starting maybe in 2-3 months you can give me a ride for inspiration!
