I can't even begin to comprehend the planning it takes to do BEFORE doing any of the actual building on your builds. Never mind the actual building of the car.
Amazing guys. Another home run!

Alright, I know you guys are experts at what you do. However, you guys still have to be nervous cutting into a hood like that...right?

OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!! I love the headers or header. This car is amazing. :confused18:

The exhaust system on this thing should be hanging as art somewhere. Unbelievable workmanship on the whole car. Thanks for the behind the scenes on this build!

Lost for words.... again! :thumbsup:

One thing I would have liked to see you guys do on this car is your interpretation of the classic 70's racing BBS wheels and even more so the brake cooling fans bolted on to them.

But then again, I saw how you made the wheels for this, your idea and execution is 100000000000 time better... :thumbsup:

This build is way too cool! The Roadster Shop build threads are the primary reason I started lurking on this forum. You guys definitely knocked it out of the park on this one.

take off your shoes and stay a while......

Ha ha! More of a 'measure three times cut once' deal.

Well, new year, new pics!

Aluminum inner door skins:

From where we left off: at this point the car is in a position where it could be broken down and the shell sent out for powdercoat on all the interior and inner surface/structure.

Some CNC action on the E-brake. We engineered this to be an upright style lever for more aggressive use which can also be pinned in the downward position when not needed (road courses etc).

Couldn't not have the vans waffle grip...

Just wow!! So I apologize if this is an inappropriate question, and please feel free to decline answering, but what does a build of this magnitude cost?....200K?....250K? Im just blown away by the R&D and build quality....hell that E-brake assembly is probably worth more than my '69 Corvette. Anyway, thanks very much for the update....I love seeing these NASA quality builds!
