Hi TT,

I guess that we are pushing the 3000 man hour mark right about now.

So....

50/hour x 3000 hours x the square root of my checking acount = ????

so in the end your looking at about 250 to 300 to duplicate

ps - i firmly believe it's worth every penny

Hi TT,

Actually, doing it the second time would require a bit less time. A lot of the time wasted on this project was spent reworking things that did not work out exactly the way we planned. Also, the engineering ate up a big chunk of time. I think (given the correct doner cars) we could duplicate this project, makeing all the changes that hindsight allows, for right around 200 to 225K.

Shall I put you down for two??? :-)

Also, at that price we might be able to incorporate a carbon fiber hood, deck lid, door skins and fenders. I have been working on this for a while. I have been developing a carbon fiber structural foam core laminate that should produce extremely light parts that are far more rigid than carbon fiber alone.

Hi All,

Don't know if any of you have seen the "Wizards of Winter" video that has been circulating about the net lately, but it is pretty cool. We have loaded a version on the "amusing bits" page of our website. If you get the time you really should check it out.

OBTW, happy holidays to all. Hope that for x-mas you all get the Mustang upgrade you've been dreaming about all year. :-)

The camera crew from V8TV is coming tomorrow to start shooting the car and WE ARE NOT READY. We have to clean up the shop, hang some banners, and a whole **&@$load of other things.

Can’t talk now. Gotta go. You will probably not hear from me until Monday. Have a nice weekend.

Oh BTW, we are currently looking for a body man. Go to the bottom of the websites home page for details.
