Great build. You guys always use the best of the best. Any fitment concerns with the 10.5" rear wheels?
It was great to finally meet you at Sebring after all these years.
The secret to the rear is the offset but even then more track is available. Shoving the 265 up front on that big wheel is a feat in and of itself. The 981s have more body overhang for that type of footprint.
Offsets are custom BGB spec, which took a lot of trial and error to get perfect . They fit the car with no issue, but some fender rolling may be required depending on the ride height of the car.

Yes! Stock front bumper modified with the OEM grills & fogs cut out, with larger custom ducting added to route as much fresh air as possible through the radiators.
Modified shroud extension laid over top of the OEM ducting (you can see just how restrictive to air flow the OEM ducting is)
OEM ducting trimmed, and new larger radiator shroud extension installed.
I wanted to chime in here, and tell John and his crew thanks. This car is one of mine, and it's been an absolute joy to build and drive; so much so, I prefer it over my clubsport any day of the week, (and almost as quick). There have been a few RL members who I've let drive it, and all come away with the same conclusion, that they too need to build a car with John and his shop. If anyone has any questions on the car, or build, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thanks again John!

It just goes to show that this forum has been as much of a resource for our business as I have been for information and I am reminded often about how much it has helped BGB. I think this relationship started out as a PM from you back in 2014 and look where we are now?!? I'm driving your car around VIR because you're so excited about how it handles, you wanted me to see what all the fuss was about and now I know. It's such an awesome little car. In the heat of the day on some very very very old tires, the car can still run above just above the 2:00 mark at VIR.
Here is a pic from when I got the PCA Annual Tech completed; the tech guys were in love with it too and we all discussed how GTB1 is going to be a great class for club racing in years to come. This car needs a name!
P.S. You were right - the brakes will suck your eyeballs out if you push them hard enough. I wasn't prepared for stopping 100 feet early everywhere for the first few laps.
