The Building Process

  1. A company takes care of purchasing the right donor car. From background information, mileage, wear-and-tear, damage, correct paper work, and the right location.

  2. The next company strips all the necessary parts, makes all the required chassis changes, installs all the suspension components, and does a full mechanical inspection.

  3. A company here builds us grills, door handles, hinges, brackets, that are crafted and designed for our project.

  4. In this step, two individual companies produce the 34 piece composite body. This is done in a hand lay-up and also a resin transfer method. All the best materials are used to allow us to put on such a beautiful paint job.

  5. Even though part of the Ford Mustang door is used, a full door buildup is done.

  6. This step is done by us. We take care of the assembly of the complete body. From headlights, grills, exhaust, and partial interior pieces. We make sure that the car has the right fit.

  7. Another company then assembles the complete interior.

  8. At this point the car is sent out to the paint shop. The car is then painted in a basecoat clear coat Glasurit paint. It is then hand sanded and polished to perfection. Also, a number of interior parts are painted.

  9. The interior is then sent out to our master upholsterer, where it is finished in the right leathers and materials.

  10. In this step, we have a unique company that makes hand made automotive glass. A little thicker glass and laminate gives us better sound quality inside the car.

  11. This is the part we enjoy the most. Yes, the car has to be tested. At the point we are satisfied, the car is detailed, ready for delivery.

    I think I like this thing more than I like GIRLS! Far too dangerous to be available to a motorhead with open credit and a 02 GT.
    I WISH I NEVER SAW THIS SITE!

    "To Mike"

    You're either one of those people that tell lies to make up for your low self esteem, or you have a REALLY small Pee Pee!
