Thanks! Really proud of this one.

As usual, fantastic job! Frank does not cut corners and does it right. For his builds, you can't see some of the work that is done under the body. Wiring, wheel alignment, specific customer requests etc. He completed the work on my MK4 that I was not comfortable doing myself. Got it running and pointing straight. Combine that with Miller's body work and paint and you have a great car! I was fortunate to have Frank and Jeff in my back yard. (SOCAL) Great job on Pauline guys!

The last bit of your video regarding the work is the truth. I had planned on a build thread when my Roadster was delivered and quickly realized just doing a build thread created MUCH more work into the process and pulled me away from focusing on the tasks at hand. I quickly canned that idea and just took pictures as I went along putting them in my build folder. As for producing, editing and uploading videos????????? FORGETABOUTIT!!!!!! Way too much work and distractions from my job in front of me. I have a Youtube channel where I build bikes vlog Gran Fondo rides and races and review bike stuff. That is on another level of easy compared to my Roadster build. Thank you for the effort and the build turned out gorgeous!!!

EDIT:
And I have liked, subb'ed and try to comment when I feel I have an appropriate question or comment :)

I really like the seats and door panels with the CF dash. May need to make another change to my plans...:confused:

Thanks Dave, I got to admit that you did all of the hard work on the car. I just came in at the end, did some wiring and an alignment. Your car came out beautiful.

Fantastic build as usual! :cool:

The workmanship, ingenuity and attention to detail of cars built by Frank/i.e.427 is truly at a higher level!

Nice work Frank, I have been mostly following along with your updates on FB. The car looks similar to mine but less modern, more classic/chrome.

I've said it a number of times in the videos that we started the channel primarily just to keep the custome updated on their project.
Pauline's owner is in Washinton State and the one were working on now is from Texas. This is our 3rd Texas car. It make it much easier for customers to see the work happening on the project. Thanks for watching and your continued support!

The only thing I didn't like about the door panels was no door pockets. Other than that, really nice.

Thanks for following the page and thanks for the compliment. This one was really fun and we're really happy with the outcome. Now to do something about the annoyingly loud KRC pump........ :rolleyes:


I dig it!

Thanks! We're pretty happy with it too.

Frank,
As someone who is just starting their build journey (289 Roadster) I really enjoy the "what not to do" and "look out for this or that" as well little tricks for making the build look tidier!!
For instance the comments about the Breeze battery box and routing of the brakes lines.
Thanks!
