It looks so rugged, like it's saying don't **** ! with me

The fab work on all of your cars is the best in the industry!

Mind blowing workmanship.

So you guys have any idea what the final bare chassis with roll cage weighed ? I know there is always a question of what was included in the weight but just curious if you knew.

Also what does the completed car weigh ?

And the rest of the story is....

They should do a TV show on you guys. I guarantee it would blow all the other car shows out of the water. Just seeing the process that goes into each build would be amazing.

Awesome job, one of my favorites from SEMA.

We didn't get a chance to weigh the chassis and cage. The whole car weighed in at 3100lbs dry.

We get more done with no cameras around! Unfortunately you touched on the reason for lack of decent car shows out there. 'The Process' doesn't make for good network ratings. Made up drama, deadlines and bad acting seem to make up what passes for car shows these days. We'd rather just build cars...

Time for some updates!

With the foundation of the car coming together we could turn our attention to creating the carbon pieces we needed to give this car the shape and look we wanted.

Figuring out how to do this was a process in itself. With foam being the fastest to build shape and carve, we set about creating the 'jig' to both hold the foam we poured and establish guides and limits for where we could cut and still allow clearance for the suspension articulation. In essence, it had to look as good as it worked.

As you can see on the rear and then front, as we got the foam close to the shapes we wanted, we added a skim of body filler to refine the surface a little. Still fairly crude at this step, it allowed us to see and feel the shape better and start adding in some of the finer details like edges and creases.

Creating the nose corners and front lower fender allowed us to begin on the mock up of the front splitter.
