I did it
My original post was in Aug of 2010. I had been watching the GT 40 market for years but never thought I would be able to build one. But in Dec of 2010 I bought a RCR GT 40 that was suppose to be road worth, completed, titled and ready to drive car. When I received it, it would not run. Rims rubbing suspension arms, wiring problems, etc., etc. When I found a problem and fixed it, I would find two more, then eight more. The more I looked the more problems I found. After working on it for 5 months I had to stop and work on other cars. I started working on it again this week and hope to have in on the road in the next couple of months. It needs a paint job but I don't know if I will paint it now or wait till fall.
The RCR is a great kit. And this car has a lot of good parts. I look forward to some long road trips in this car. I retired in Jan so now I have the time to work on it. I'm going to add a Gurney bubble, tow bar and maybe build a 347 to go in it.
After a year of thinking about the paint color and asking everyone, I have chosen Black. Maybe white stripes. I ordered the meatballs and decals to make it look like a race car.
Yep it's going to be fun.
