What'd be sweet is if you could get us the bumper/headlight/hood all in one carbon part with some GTLM style fenders. Really like what these guys did (not a fan of the back though)

I can't remember his screen name on here, but John Carson did a one piece front end. I think it's posted in the track car pic sticky thread.

Work has been crazy lately leaving little time for car work so our buddy Derek decided to get a start on removing the trailer decals. One side down! Hoping a buff makes the lines less noticeable.

Yes sir! The risk of hillclimbs is a rush for sure but returning home safely to the wife and kids is always priority number one.

We've been working on some car part molds and getting the new trailer cleaned out. Someone on the team decided to start tearing out the cabinets to reconfigure our storage. Moved the tool box up front and removed the overhead Caninets. Also repurposed the generator area for storage.

The holes in the corner are for a hole saw. Then you just connect the lines
