    Hello Alex. Welcome.
    Why don't you post some pics of your RCR build in the OT area?

    Good, good, been busy.

    Your engine's still running along quite nicely after 2yrs - 2200miles and counting. Here's to, hopefully, 97,800 more trouble-free miles

    If only it were warmer than -40 the last few months I could actually drive it, lol!

    Although today is 0* (32*F) so it's nice and toasty outside at the moment, haha.

    Alex, good to hear the car is running well. Did you ever change out the carb to something with a choke, or did you get used to the process of feathering the throttle till she warms up??

    And... do you still suggest ONR, or something else these days?

    ONR - yes, it's still the best out there. There are a tonne of "rinseless" washing solution out there today, but ONR is the tried and established one so I see no reason to change. Thanks it to I've never had to polish my vehicles in 2yrs (previously it would be a light polish like 106+White pad every year from the minor marring that would occurr over time). Now the only time I bust out a polisher is when I buy a new car and have to fix the last owner's washing technique.

    Still using my trusty 4150hp holley carb - no need for a choke once you realize you're the ECU, hehe

    The superlite's going carb'd also - nothing wrong with an almost 1000hp carb'd LS motor, lol!

    Plenty of pics in my photobucket, it's always open (nb: some shirtless pics of me in there as well, so don't click if you don't want to see, lol - I put this note in here as some members on the old site thought said pics were arrogant/offensive/etc.. etc..., so if that would offend you, no clickie =) )

    Didn't know you had a Terminator as well. Had one, sold it to buy the first parts of the roadster. Miss it now.

    Good progress on the RCR. Looks like the doors are done? I hear they can be tricky.

    portd/pullied/intake/magna catback/magna catted X - it's my daily driver. Nothing says winter beater like 500rwhp w/o traction control, heh (my front wheel sensor is done, so rather than drill it and replace it I decided to leave it off; no abs/tc for me!)

    Compared to the SLC, the cobra looks like a 4x4

    Finished hanging the doors last month. They were fun. Not as challenging as GT40 doors, but still takes a bit of work to get perfect gapping and proper clearances. But they fit and look perfect (with enough effort put into them) and don't require any of the modifications that GTM doors need.
