That is a '52 MGTD in the background which I sold some time ago.

As I said above, my goal with this project is to create a '73 RSR clone, with some liberties taken, for the street. I do not intend to go overboard on stiffening the tub. I have the rear shock console reinforcements and the front strut tower brace from TRE. I do intend to keep it light with a spartan interior much like the original RSR's. I have reproduction RSR turnbuckle seats, Autoflug harnesses, early Momo race wheel, 10,000rpm tach, etc. All the sound deadening, undercoating, rocker shoot and seam sealer is gone. I have a early big valve 3-liter I am going to rebuild with Weber's, MSD ignition, aluminum flywheel, Kennedy clutch, and headers, all of which I have on the shelf. I have numerous other rebuilt or new parts on the shelf all ready to install once the tub is painted. It's largely an assembly project once the tub is completed.

There's been a delay at the body shop, imagine that!

Arnage, I just looked @ your list of "on the shelf" parts, that should be a fun car once completed! I like the fact too that your intent is to build the clone with liberties taken.. you're building it to enjoy and that's a win!!

Funny, I too have stocked-up on a few parts over the years and have ended up building a couple of projects around what was "in stock."

I finally did sell the project to Ed Callahan. I wish him the best and look forward to seeing the end result. I have moved on to an R-type build using a very nice '66 912 that already had a very well executed 911 2.2L conversion.
