Looks awesome!

Very nice! #6, where was that hiding? Did you buy an unfinished kit or just finish it for the original owner? Either way, it looks great!

[Zach34]

Looks great! What size are the wheels?

He dropped off a rolling chassis with motor and fuel system complete 3 weeks ago from Oregon. I fitted the body and took the panels to the painter the next day. I wired it, aligned it, dyno'd it while the painter had the car. I got the body back last Thursday and finished it yesterday.

Your timelines always depress me, lol. How many 818's have you done now? Still have your orange one?

this one is # 6 and still have my 6 cylinder orange one

Oh that's what you meant with the title, I thought it was chassis #6. Unless it's both, which would be quite the coincidence. Do you get to drive yours much? Any updates? I think we finally seen it on dyno, but I don't remember now.

Great looking car Wayne, I like it.

ENVY would be the perfect name for that car

Beautiful, as usual for Wayne. In the same three weeks that Wayne took a rolling chassis and turned it into a beautifully finished 818, . . . I installed 2 door handles and one window. :o

Very nice. Looks like the hood fits real nice both at the front and at the windshield, do you have any tips for us mere mortals for these areas. :cool:

[ehansen007]

That is fricken sweet! Still, I really wish they would break down and offer a dual hoop setup for the roll bar. It just looks like an afterthought with the humps setup with way they are. Aloha nailed it.

Wayne we are told that the splitter needs to have the space above it blocked off, do you have an easy way to do it?

Wayne we are told that the splitter needs to have the space above it blocked off, do you have an easy way to do it? And yes :cool:

One more pic to show the zing of the paint

Beautiful - is that the S or the R front splitter?
