Project WarPath 1973 Trans Am with Carbon panels

[Northeast Rod Run]

I like how the carbon fiber shows through for all the graphics, knowing it will be real CF

Awesome project and rendering

Thanks for the plugs guys, glad you like it.

This car is near and dear to me, not only because I want an early 2nd gen bird BAD, but I have a close relative that suffers from early stages of that horrible disease. I was thrilled just to play a small part in this...thanks for giving me the opportunity to be involved Albert. I have no doubt this is gonna be a fantastic build and hopefully a great asset for the cause!

I give it my very best to do you proud Ben,,,, we both share a great passion for this build and what it represents individually to us as well...

Tazzz,

Your T/A is gonna be awsome! I love the color. I'm having my '71 done at G-Force Design right now. LS7, T-56, Baer, and Forgeline. Since your making molds, are there gonna be carbon fenders and hoods available I hope.

Thanks & you bet,,,,, they will be available through Anvil Auto and most likely ready for the late Spring 2010.... We have the WarPath,,, and a friends Lucy blue on blue 71 TA the had the nose tapped that will be featuring the first two Carbon front clips... just give Matt or Tyler a call and I'm sure they'll be happy to keep you in the loop.

I saw your posting and commented on the thread I believe... It's so cool to see so many TA's getting done 2010,,,, We're all gonna have a great year together and I know I'm really looking forward to it...
I also note the T56,,,, are you going to use Shafi Keislers (Keisler engineering's) new T56 dog box transmission??? It's way cool and worth getting to know about,,,, I'm using it in Warpath.

Killer rendering! Never thought I'd see CF doors and fenders. Thought they were structural for these cars.

The car will be caged and the doors while manufactured will not be sold for road use without a cage that includes side impact bars/device.

WarPath is a show build meant to be driven,,,, and driven she will be!!! That said I fully want everyone on the board to know "Safety" is first in both Matt and I minds.... We will market the doors as a "off road" product meant for competition cars that have secondary safety protection to protect drivers... While it has not been finalized, we considered having anyone purchasing the doors sign a wavier prior to finalizing the sale as we feel it would be crazy to even thing of running these doors without a safety side impact bar at very minimum...

[legend]

if going to all the trouble to make carbon fenders, would it be worthwhile to widen them slightly, as shown in the fat bottom thread?

Albert,
Not to many consumers spend the time or realize the impact damage between CF and metal. Yours and Matt's thought process towards a safe production piece and its liabilities is huge IMO.
