RS Tour
 
So I had a few moments while in the general area and made a call to go visit the Roadster Shop. Always respected these guys and the beautiful work they turned out but really had no idea what I was in for….

Rob called it a candy store. He’s right. More like a Disneyland for carnuts. This place is like no other hotrod shop I’ve ever seen. 25 employees, all of them busy. Probably 20+ builds going on. Each one, more creative than the last. A couple of top secret, no pics allowed as well. Wait till you see ‘em.

You walk in, this is in the showroom. I’d love to own this car. I’d build it and leave it in bare metal:

Here’s where the magic happens:

Remember that wall of car bodies waiting to be built? Well, they’re past that now. No room for shells. Too many frames to be built, assembled and shipped.

I’ve seen the display frames many times at shows since they came out. Maybe it’s just me, but the finished product just does not compare to what I l saw/observed from in-process stuff (I’m sick, I know). If you saw it in person you’d know. From the rails, to the bushings, to the control arms.

They're serious dudes. Phil, Dad, etc. I've seen them many times before before but they didn't have time to talk I guess. :question:
