  • i temporarily had 3" cork center caps as i was trying out a thought which was purely funny. wheels are champagne metallic, so why not a cork.. didnt love the look afterall, so moving on..

    with that said, the actual centercaps are not yet done, and they will complete the wheels. I already finished up the cad model for them. just have to machine and etch the full cap to have the logo..

      • thanks. At this point, we have not decided what the next project might be, so it will go up as a light feeler soon. Trades could possibly be considered (doubtful), but he definitely wants something fun that will be a lot more nimble and quick.
        Air suspension will stay with the car, we have 3 sets of wheels at the moment for the car, so there might be a few options for wheels.

        for now, we prep it for a few events soon

          • After lots of back and forth on whether or not to sell, it looks like the new owner is loading it up onto a trailer Saturday.

            It's been a cool project and we wish the new owner the best, but we are excited to figure something out for the next project. This time I have a feeling it'll be gutted and all motor

            one of the goodbye photos. Unfortunately i was at the shop working so i didn't get to see this, but glad to see its going to a good home

              • the best bet as the car is long gone is to head over to Nicks thread theneek as he has detailed pictures of the work.
