    "I'm too lazy to use a trolley jack"

    Too Lazy....!

    Yes right
    les in the chassis are for air jacks, I'm too lazy to use a trolley jack!"

    Garage envy indeed. And he says it is too small! Tell him Brent!
    RCR is Fran's business isn't it? He was on the old site - I don't think he's made it through to this one has he?

    Amazing build...think he could have gone for a more 'individual' colour scheme

    Don''t think so at all ; ok he is doing aneat job but only assembling nicely a "on the shelf" RCR kit ??
    You are doing a lot of very nice improvments on yours specially on rear chassis and engine and bearbox arrangement!!! this make your car "Unique"
    Many GT's replicas all around the world but very few nice Stratos!! And you built one
    You can be very very proud of your project ..................

    Re: GT40 Build Site

    The GT40 is certainly an immaculate build.
    I'm no engineer, of course, but alarm bells go off for me when I look at stuff like the front wishbone mounts.
    Sizeable pivot bolts through the rose joints, but tiny cap head bolts holding the suspension lugs to the aluminium chassis.
    Am I missing something??
