Well, this thread is well overdue!
We had a pretty hard time keeping this one under wraps for so long!
This was a labor of love for many of us here at the shop. With many of our builds previously circling around the show car, street machine, pro-tour type builds, this car would be a complete departure from what we had done before. It would also serve as a platform to apply new methods of 'building', incorporating new technologies and methodologies into what we could apply to other areas of our builds.
The brief was really to create an evolution of the pro-touring methodology, bridging the gap between street car and full blown race car. A 'perfect storm' of Roadster Shop design, detail and engineering and an open love letter to the spectacle and rawness of motor sports, racing, muscle cars and the pursuit of speed.
While some of you are aware of how the car ended up, we should probably start from the beginning...
The perfect candidate:
