It was a funny, but unnecessarily insulting and angry post...

But people do get banned for really dumb reasons on occasion... but that's a story for another day!

...that was followed up by an even more insulting non funny second post. Thus a swift perma-ban.

House Of Kolors - "Tangelo" very nice orange either way... your way (Lambo orange) or Tangelo, both require a white base coat and probably the same amount of work.

Nice job .. the body mods look very good, and you shaped the headlight openings nicely.

But one problem... now I am thinking about making my own kit car again from scratch. Body design, plug building, fab work and mold building is the hardest part. Problem I have is i want a LS2 Vette engine but i want it to be mid-engine and I don't know what transmission will work and hold up to 500ft lbs of torque without spending $4 grand on the trans.

Your car looks great

Im back . Been out of country for while . And way too busy to mess with it once i got back . Glad there is a few that still waiting for updates
Took few pictures today ,car is pretty much done .Had some issues with (as I later find out ) air intake . Car was running fine when I took it to spray booth , but once o2 sensors and air intake was installed car would not stay running If I apply throttle it would shocking and back firing if I dont it would start and die couple seconds later . Original air intake was all broken ,cover and filter was missing I threw it out couple days after installing one I have bought from ebay. I was sure it was problem with o2 sensors how can broken stock air intake with no filter would work better that aftermarket one . After 3 frustrating weeks it turned out it can . One of the LT members was kind enough to give me stock filter put it in car started and was running fine .
Here are few pictures of seats , made inner fenders for it ,cover for steering wheel ,mesh .....

Everything is turning out great, not a fan of the headlights, but holy crap you've done a good job.

Are those Two Brothers' m'cycle cans?!! I've got an exhaust pattern like that, spookily using the same tip shape but how do you get round the numberplate positioning in the US?

...m... · 08-31-2009, 04:49 AM

...it's a track car, i believe - no plates required...

...outstanding work, dapicus!..

FIL · 08-31-2009, 09:19 AM

Gotta echo other comments. The car looks incredible, with the exception of the headlights.

V-RAPTOR · 08-31-2009, 11:31 AM

Great work it looks excellent!

Flash G · 08-31-2009, 05:15 PM

Sweeeet.

PsychoRallye · 08-31-2009, 05:53 PM

out of curiosity, why would you put the battery in the pax compartment? Not like putting fuel in the pax area but still a bit odd in terms of flammability...
