That’s awesome, did you work on it full time?

About 15-20 hours a week.

But, I have built numerous Racecars over the last 40 years.

Also a MKIII Roadster in 2005.

Wow, nice work! I think I worked on my GTM for about 8 years before I sent it to Shane to complete!

Great job! I did my hot rod in about 12 weeks and am trying to figure out how I want to manage the body work. In the meantime, I’m going to register and drive it!
