Man would I ever have a hard time putting sand paper to that carbon fiber!!! LOL


Looks great Mark.


Do you two ever have the "my truck does "X" and your's doesn't" discussion?


Just kidding.

In my experience the parts fit very well, much better than reproduction steel, but the finish is not to my standards as far as looking as nice as paint will. My fenders have fingerprints under the clear coat that you can see in the sun, along with a few specs of debris here and there. Not sure how Mark's parts are. Not trying to throw Anvil under the bus, I will still buy more from them and am planning on it, just not leaving them exposed.

Yes all the time. Ford does some stuff well. Laura just got her 2014 F-150 and we drove it to Torch Lake. Ford changed the steering from 2013 to 2014. There My Touch system really sucks. But her truck tows a 26 foot enclosed well enough. Not as well as my 2500 HD D-Max but if you need to will get it done.

If you compare the 2014 Chevrolet 1/2 ton truck to the Ford 1/2 ton the GM wins hands down. My only issue with the 2014 GM Full Size Truck is the new radio controls are bad. Seems to be a common issue on a lot of new vehicles.

Those Dutchboys...

We all are very excited about the new car. As always Mark and Matt have stepped it up again. This car is bound to be the best one yet. We also have a cool paint sceme coming together. I'm sure Mark will share as we get a little closer to paint!

With help from Joe and Paul we mocked up some graphics that was doable. Then I had Murray Pfaff take the concept to a rendering. We are getting close on a final design and color. Mainly we are running out of time so the plan is coming together..

I will post a teaser later this week.

Working with the DutchBoys is always a pleasure!

I'm pretty sure carbon isn't as straight as people would like it to be because it is hand laid. Therefore, imperfections exist. Although, due to it being very pricey, many people expect it to be perfect aesthetically.

The CF my son is doing at Enlaes.com is flawless... but it's also not "production" work like these kinds of parts are... and the molds are perfect -- and it's being built more for strength than light weight. SO I think it "depends" on what you're building and the purpose.

If the mold surface is straight then the parts that come off the mold are straight. Not sure what process they use but if its vacuum bagged and put into an autoclave the parts should be real good.

Are you going to leave a carbon fiber exposed bumble bee stripe?
I'm only guessing cause there is no body work on the front of the car.
