Incredible craftsmanship on this Vette. From what i've seen of the rest of the SMOY contenders, This is an easy winner(IMHO). Awesome work!:hail:

Thanks, that is what we are hoping for, but you never know what is going to show up.

By the looks of it, a little more and you guys would have made the entire car from aluminum.

Thanks again for all the primarily shots.

I think that half of the car is made out of aluminum at this point. Our guys are a lot better at shapping aluminum than making things out of fiberglass. It is also a much higher quality when it is done.
