This out to be cool.

It would be cool With a Tesla With an V8, With an Big Block, but only an 396 With an Rochester 2G to keep it environmentally friendly you know... All Iron of course..

The air cleaner would read 396 Turbo-Miler in green or something.

Or maybe 396 Non-Smiler :( He..He.. :D

That is awesome.........2 funny though, I looked at the pictures in reverse order and thought you started with a desk from the factory, took measurements, ordered the factory metal, and were making an LS powered Tesla for a client:lol:

You're a real bummer Steve! :lol:

Cool project.

Although factory door handles are really sleek on these cars we filled that area for a more sleek appearance

It was very interesting to see howw these cars are built. Its amazing the amount of aluminum used for EVERTHING. the only exeptions were the steel reinforcements on the b -pillars.

This contour took some time to establish the proper line, it would look completely different depending on which angle you looked at it. The 3 rectangles channels on the rocker are factory

We used factory front hubs to mount wheels, which dont support any weight, they barely touch the ground

The interior panels were fabbed from fiberglass

That's really cool!

All of this has me wondering, are Teslas exempt from having to get smogged?

We were commissioned by a client who is very involved with Tesla Motors to transform a Tesla bodyshell into a reception desk with a 6 week turnaround time :confused59:
We recieved a Brand new Tesla shell from the assembly line in bare aluminum and the work began......

Cool project that has to be fun for the crew. :thumbsup:
