You guys do great work! So many questions....I'll start with - how did you find a suitable donor (very clean, btw) in a couple of hours? Second - how long have you guys had this in the shop?

More pics please...

The rear lower valance also received a little work more recessing the areas leading up the exhaust openings. Obviously we will make exhaust tips the same shape as the opening. We also filled the channel that runs across the rear boot area and ground it smooth eliminating the trim

Thanks for the compliments... I actually found the car on Ebay... We bought the car sight unseen and got pretty lucky...

We disassembled the car in the beginning of September and took it to the blaster. It was back and we started on the car the first week of October.. More pics coming!

Our customer also wanted to eliminate the stock side louvers and wanted more of a modern super car scoop. We cut the louvers out, filled the hole and smoothed the area then cut the scoop in place. We also filled the factory seam for a cleaner overall look.

With the car being a convertible the dash is a major focal point of the build. We went back to the drawing board and drew up a few ideas. Here is what was chosen and the fab work is well under way!

Lots of great metal work and design ideas going on here. Looks great, especially that rear spoiler.
