For almost a week I’ve been obsessively checking my UPS tracking number for twelve packages from Reilly Motorsports, Inc, AKA RMS. Starting in White Haven, PA, they passed through Pittston, PA, Hodgkins, IL and Lenexa, KS on their way to my house. I was pacing like an expectant father as I waited for the big brown truck to show up. It usually arrives around 11am. Naturally, it was more like 3pm on this day.
The driver asked me if I was building a motorcycle. I told him I was building a car. When he asked if it would be fast I said “yes”.
Pictured above is an RMS Alterkation K-frame and coil-over front suspension and the Lynx four-link rear suspension with Wilwood four-piston rear disk brakes, a Wilwood master Cylinder and all manner of brackets and doo-dads. Also present are sub-frame connectors, Mosler axles and a power steering rack. As Jim said via text today, “I guess it’s too late to turn back now!” Too late indeed.
The only thing missing is the 12.91″ Wilwood front disc brakes with six-piston calipers. They are back ordered and will arrive eventually.
We’ll be getting this party started soon. It should be good so stick around.
