Is the carbon fiber held in with rivets or is it glued in? looks sweet

 

it looks glued, they'll prolly add rivets but looks like it'll stay in place wit the glue and the windshields to.

 

The CF roof is just sitting on top of the car at this point. It will be bonded and riveted eventually. It wont be permantly installed till later in the build so we have complete access to weld the cage in place.

 

Yea thats what I was getting at. Unless your gonna cut holes in the floor to drop the cage down to weld

the CF roof is a great idea. Nice job guys

 

That is still up in the air. We are entertaining ideas.

I would love some of the photshop friendly people to take a shot at it.

The main criteria for the paint scheme will be out colors which are Black, Red And silver. It needs to be sponsor friendly, meaning I need to be able to display our sponsor stickers well and they need to flow with the paint scheme.

Take a shot at it. I love new ideas.

Please update daily with new pictures, like a few guys already said, ground up builds are amazing to witness, especially from a shop of AMS' caliber. This is officially the best thread on EVOm in recent history.

I'm really liking the idea of an American made CyberEVO killer. Just to let the Japanese tuners know that the 'yanks can make their cars fast too. Don't forget to put the crosshairs on XS Engineering's R32, please.

 

I will keep you guys posted as often as I can. The are fabricating Rear Door Skins right now with Lexan windows and Dzus fasteners. I will get thos pictures up later today.

The carbon/kevlar roof, how streetable do you anticipate that to be? Do you think it's to be a good idea for any EVO, or should it be considered a "track only" type setup?

I can't say I'm in the market, but I dig the idea of an MR roof on my '03, and this is lighter and more "baller", so maybe sometime down the road...

 

I would think that the carbon roof could be made streetable, but would have to be done right, lots of paitence in the install and such.

 

I'm really interested to see how they bolt it up. I'm sure they'll do it right, can't wait to see what's involved.

 

I would bet it's going to be done with epoxy and not bolted.. the cage and seam welding should hold it stiff enough that it doesn't come loose. Bolts.. just extra weight.

 

Here are some more pictures of the door skin being made, key word....SKIN

 

Race cars only make me sad that my car is so far away from it...... Thought you guys were gunna hack up the B pillar a bit due to the cage, no go on that eric?
