Tiger-
The hood was a major pain in the rump to lay-up. It also took many hours of bodywork to open the louvers and correct imperfections. If I did produce another for sale the price would be ridiculous.
I can say the finished product only weighs 12 lb. Yay!


Thanks to all that have chimed in with kind remarks, it's most appreciated!

Widebody on the ground for the first time. Body panels not aligned, just hanging on chassis. Suspension not at ride height.

Cool to see it done, but it seems to me that you either chose the wrong wheels as in too narrow, not offseting enough or you produced a too wide rear arch.
Nevertheless cool concept.

Holy crap that looks nice. It's so smooth and clean that it looks like a lexan body on a model car, not a real one.

awesome job! If you are like me, you have wondered what flares similar to a 930 turbo would look like on the 944... it looks amazing. can't wait to see the final beast.
