Excellent job Kevin and crew.

I try to explain to non-car (and some car) people why a pro quality car build is so insanely expensive from a time and financial angle. If you haven't lived it you simply don't understand the level of detail involved to make it look good AND function like OEM.

Thanks guys. There certainly a lot of details in a car like this, especially to make everything function properly. We have a very talented crew that deserves all the credit.

Back inside the car, Trevor installed the freshly leather-wrapped Fesler door panels with carbon accents. The leather, carbon, headliner, and carpet work was done by our partner interior shop, Auto Designs by Sebastian (http://www.autodesignsbysebastian.com).



“Ta Daa!”



The Fesler panels incorporate slick door latch pulls and armrests.





Speakers are recessed into the panel for a clean look.



The Detroit Speed dash panel was skinned with a sheet of carbon fiber to provide a nice accent behind the Speedhut gauges.

A custom billet leather-wrapped steering wheel compliments the high-tech interior.





Simpson harnesses keep the occupants in place when the hammer goes down!

Soon it was time to take the ZR9 out and show it to the public. We were invited guests at the Street Machine Nationals in DuQuoin, IL, and we brought the ZR9 to the event. The crowd really liked the car. We also brought out the ‘64 Chevy C10 and 1969 Chevelle.










The ZR9 also got invited to the Car Craft Summer Nationals in Milwaukee as part of the Pro Builder’s Shootout, the car was very well received! It was a fun event!



Check it out, the ZR9 landed a cameo on the cover of Car Craft Magazine!

Thanks Car Craft!
